[Sportschosun Reporter Lee Ji-hyun] Kim Soo-mi, the singer’s ex-wife of Dynamic Duo and a beauty entrepreneur and influencer, is participating in a fashion survival show. Since announcing her divorce in January, she has continued to pursue new directions, expanding her work from acting to variety shows.
On the 2nd, Disney+ released the main poster and trailer of its new original variety show, Style Wars. Kim Soo-mi’s appearance as a contestant in the trailer attracted particular attention.
Style Wars is a fashion survival show in which 72 contestants who are confident in their fashion sense compete solely on their styling skills, regardless of their age, job, or experience.
Kim Soo-mi is set to compete fiercely with contestants from different fields, including Winner group’s Lee Seung-hoon, fashion YouTuber Kyuyoung, and model Kim Chil-du.
Kim Soo-mi has long attracted attention for her distinctive fashion sense and beauty expertise. After making an impact on social media by showing off her style, she is now gaining interest about what skills she will showcase in this survival show.
The trailer also shows heated clashes between the contestants. When MC Hyeri ordered them to change into white uniforms, they reacted with confusion. Contestants expressed their stress, saying, “It feels like being a fashion prisoner” and “the idea of being naked.” This was followed by bold comments, including “It’s war from now on” and “We are here to fight, right here, right now,” hinting at the coming competition.
The judges’ blunt assessments also caught the audience’s attention. Hong Jin-kyung criticized one contestant’s style, saying, “It’s too clingy,” while designer Jun.jae gave a scathing review, saying, “I was disappointed.”
Kim Soo-mi’s appearance is attracting even more attention due to the new challenges she has faced recently. In January, she announced her divorce from Gecko after 15 years of marriage. The couple married in 2011 and have a son and a daughter; They are said to have ended their relationship as a couple last year. At the time, they said that they intended to continue sharing the responsibility of raising their children as parents after the divorce.
Since then, Kim Soo-mi has expanded her activities by acting as well as running her own beauty business. When she appeared on MBC’s Radio Star last September, she revealed that she started learning acting after turning 40 and also auditioned for a drama for the first time in her life, which made her headlines.
She also named Son Suk-kyu as the actor she wanted to work with, revealing his unusual devotion as a fan, saying, “I don’t mind getting hit or cursed at.”
Style Wars, hosted by Hyeri, with Hong Jin-kyung, Jun.jae, Bae Jung-nam and stylist Choi serving as judges, will premiere on the 11th. Two episodes will be released every Wednesday, making a total of 10 episodes.
