Top model Shin Hyunji became an April bride, and warmth spread as it was revealed that she made a surprise appearance for her close friend Hong Jin Kyung before the wedding.
Shin Hyunji held her wedding on the 26th at a location in Seoul with a non-celebrity fiance. The ceremony was a private small wedding inviting only family and close acquaintances. It was reported that, since her husband is a non-celebrity, protecting his privacy was given top priority.
Meanwhile, on the 26th on MBC variety show "Sora and Jin Kyung," Shin Hyunji drew attention by showing loyalty for Hong Jin Kyung. Hong Jin Kyung said she was preparing to re-challenge the Paris collection and "needs a model with overseas experience. I sent a direct message to the most in-demand model," and that person turned out to be Shin Hyunji.
It was reported that the broadcast filming took place before the wedding, and despite her busy schedule, Shin Hyunji appeared in person and generously offered advice. Hong Jin Kyung proudly introduced her as "an overseas top model and a muse of Chanel," and Shin Hyunji offered realistic advice, saying, "The Paris collection has more stages than you think, and your mental state can be shaken a lot. Self-esteem can decline."
Shin Hyunji went on to say, "These days there is a trend of seeking diverse visuals. There are cases like sister Bae Doona," and sincerely offered tips: "First, you should look into agencies that will support Paris activities."
Fans admired Shin Hyunji for taking time for senior Hong Jin Kyung even during a period when she must have been busier than anyone preparing for her wedding. Netizens reacted, "She really has loyalty," "She's great even before her wedding," "Shin Hyunji's class is different," and "Hong Jin Kyung's connections are amazing."
Born in 1996, Shin Hyunji gained recognition after winning Challenge! Supermodel Korea season 4 in 2012 and then advanced to the global stage. She went on to grace runways for global brands such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton, establishing herself as a world-class top model. In particular, she drew significant attention by becoming the first Asian model to close a Chanel collection show.
After her wedding, Shin Hyunji plans to continue activities not only in modeling but also in variety shows and broadcasting across various fields.
