tvN's Kill It: Style Creator War announced the birth of a beautiful yet brutal "mala-flavored fashion survival."
In the first broadcast of Kill It, which aired at 10:10 p.m. on the 12th, 100 of the hottest creators in the fashion scene began a fierce battle for the single seat of "next-generation style icon." The broadcast that day overwhelmed viewers with a scale reminiscent of a runway, from model Jae-in to the final 100th contestant, Choi Min-a-su.
The full-fledged first round was the "photogenic" mission, in which contestants had to finish self-styling within a 60-minute time limit and then be chosen by photographers. In particular, tension rose as Lee Sora's husband and global photographer Ikobe joined as judges, and the survival show's characteristic urgency was amplified when only 50 out of 100 were expected to survive, giving a one-in-two chance of survival.
The fortunes of those regarded as strong favorites for the championship were starkly divided on stage.
Choi Min-a-su suffered an unexpected "humiliation" (?). Rising with the keyword "No. 1" and monopolizing the photographers' shutter storms, Choi Min-a-su confessed, "All the attention I had is going over there and I didn't want to stay. It hurts my pride," as interest drained away like the tide with the appearance of Tiara Torelli.
First-generation creator Dasha showed seasoned skill by provoking interest with paparazzi acting that shouted "Don't take my picture" just as photographers were beginning to lose interest. As a result, Dasha received choices from all labels and became a triple crown winner.
Jae-in, who improvised a ?hair look on stage, and Tiara Torelli, who showcased lively color play, also achieved label all-kills, demonstrating a powerful presence. Jung Ri-a, who had generated expectations as "Huning Kai's older sister," drew sympathy after suffering the shock of a "zero cut," receiving not a single photograph despite being onstage.
The label leaders' cool-headed advice and insights also shone. Shin Hyun-ji emphasized the importance of presence by saying, "The people we saw on SNS aren't visible here," and Jang Yoon-ju stressed the unique aura a style icon must have, saying, "Only those who stand out are seen."
