Choi Mi-na-su Breaks Down in Tears After Team Conflict on 'Kill It' Sales Mission

Choi Mi-na-su, a cast member known from Netflix's dating reality program 'Single's Inferno 5,' broke down in tears after a mission on 'Kill It: Style Creator War' ended with contestants being eliminated despite what she saw as uneven effort within her team.

On the June 30 broadcast of tvN's entertainment program 'Kill It: Style Creator War,' the contestants took on the third main-round mission, titled the 'Global City Look Planning Exhibition.' The challenge required them to face customers directly and sell products in person, creating a situation in which both teamwork and each participant's individual ability were being evaluated at the same time.

Within the White Label team that day, Choi Mi-na-su, Seo-hyeon and Capri actively threw themselves into on-site sales. The three approached customers, explained the products and promoted them directly, showing visible urgency as they tried to help the team succeed in the mission.

Some other team members, however, appeared comparatively relaxed. They were shown acting on the judgment that, if the team won, no one from the team would be eliminated, saying, "It feels like we will not be eliminated anyway," and holding back from active sales work.

In particular, while Choi Mi-na-su was focusing on promotion by taking photos with fans and engaging people on-site, several teammates, including Lee Su-min, Bella Woo-young and Kim Na-ra, were shown leaving the area and eating.

After belatedly realizing what was happening, Choi Mi-na-su said, "I am going to work," and turned her attention back to the sales floor. In a later interview, she spoke frankly about her feelings, saying, "I do not know why the older members are acting like that. I wondered whether they trusted me too much," and added that they seemed not to have been active enough in this mission.

Seo-hyeon also expressed disappointment, saying, "There were really many people who did not participate in sales. They were sitting in a corner and resting." Capri likewise stated her own view of the challenge, saying, "For this one mission, I have to be sincere in every moment. That way, even if I am eliminated, I do not think I will have regrets."

The result, however, went in an unexpected direction. White Label recorded the lowest score, and the contestants named for elimination were Seo-hyeon and Capri, the very members who had kept focusing on sales until the end.

Seo-hyeon said she was upset that people who had not participated and had not achieved strong sales results were moving forward. She added that she had even given up her main line of work to come to the competition, and that the day had been the worst for her.

Choi Mi-na-su, who was the last to board the bus afterward, eventually shed tears after hearing that the two had been eliminated.

She confessed, "I felt alone. Honestly, I was annoyed, and I felt the older members were a little unfair. I felt really bad."

She continued, "Capri always did her best, and Seo-hyeon worked really hard on this mission," expressing sadness that the two people she had relied on most had been eliminated.

Choi Mi-na-su added that, from now on, she had come to think of herself as alone when carrying out missions. From the moment the two left, she said, the competition felt like an individual contest.

The broadcast drew viewers' attention because it went beyond a simple competition result and exposed a clash in values over teamwork, responsibility and the worth of individual effort.
