Choi Mina-soo was sadly eliminated from Kill It but delivered a deep resonance.
On the 19th, the broadcast of tvN fashion survival show Kill It aired footage of Choi Mina-soo facing the round 2 one-on-one deathmatch "item war."
That day, the "item war" round proceeded by having opponents swap each other's CARRY and then choose from 25 fashion items to style. Choi Mina-soo said, "When I heard we were swapping carriers, there were clothes I wanted to wear," and chose Bella Wooyoung, a contestant with a completely different style and the most followers, drawing the contestants' attention.
After round 1, Choi Mina-soo had been labeled with the "old look" by Jang Yoon-ju. Undeterred by that harsh critique, Choi Mina-soo instead said, "I wanted to wear Bella Wooyoung unnie's clothes, which are the kind of modern, hip and cool styles. Since I'm a growth-character, wouldn't it be okay?" showing an attitude unafraid of challenge.
Having chosen a "rider jacket," Choi Mina-soo took Bella Wooyoung's CARRY and said, "I was really surprised. Because her style is so different from mine, there were a lot of vintage-looking clothes and many layered pieces," expressing concern. But she then tried on items one by one, reinterpreting them in her own way and completing a new styling that drew attention.
After styling, Choi Mina-soo overwhelmed viewers with a more hip and trendy vibe, using frills, studs and checked denim to create her rebellious mood. She fully pulled off a look changed 180 degrees and became a focal choice for photographers, and Jang Yoon-ju noted, "Photographers really like Mina-soo. Whenever Mina-soo appears, they all go to Mina-soo," mentioning her exceptional presence.
Jang Yoon-ju, who had harshly criticized her in round 1, continued to praise the grown Choi Mina-soo, saying, "From the moment she appeared I could see she took to heart what I had said, and seeing her come out with a hip, youthful makeover made me think she listened and is trying to keep changing. I was shocked, thinking 'Who is this person?' I was impressed and surprised." Yeon-jun also commented, "Thanks to Mina-soo's proportions, the rider jacket looks cooler."
However, the photographers' final choice was Bella Wooyoung. Upon elimination, Choi Mina-soo said, "I really wanted to try this, and I'm satisfied because I received some praise. I think I'm a very daring person. This is another opportunity and stepping stone to grow, so I will show more of Choi Mina-soo who keeps taking on challenges."
