On the 29th, Kim posted a lengthy message on her SNS to share her thoughts on her win.

She opened by saying, "I haven't been able to properly respond to all the congratulatory messages yet, but I wanted to express my gratitude first."

She also expressed a unique sentiment regarding the significance of the program.

Kim reflected, "'Kill It' was not a competition to prove how wonderful I am as a style creator, but was closer to a process of finding my true self."

She confessed that the victory was unexpected.

"To be honest, I am still dazed by the win. I didn't think I could do it, and my only intention was to be myself until the end," she said, giving credit to her colleagues by adding, "Because all the Kill It Girls I was with were such wonderful people, I want to take this opportunity to tell everyone they were truly amazing."

She added, "If I tell my parents and my neighbors that I, who used to live in the countryside, appeared on a survival show, appeared on TV, and even won, they would be so happy. I sincerely thank everyone who cheered for me."

Most notably, her expression of affection for her long-term partner caught everyone's eye.

Kim publicly shared her heart, saying, "To my partner and wife, who stayed up with me and went through this entire process together, you worked so hard and I love you."

In response, her girlfriend left a comment saying, "You worked so hard!!!!!! Should we book the wedding hall?" to which Kim replied, "Somewhere with many guests!!!!", revealing a playful conversation regarding wedding preparations.

Following the couple's exchange, fans lined up with congratulatory messages such as "Such a beautiful couple," "Congratulations on your marriage," "You captured both the win and love," and "This happy news is even more welcome."

Kim had previously mentioned her partner during her winning speech in the final episode of 'Kill It' broadcast on the 28th.

At that time, she drew significant attention by saying, "I am so thankful to my girlfriend, who is my most wonderful partner and manager. I really want to hold the wedding that we have been postponing due to financial issues."

tvN's 'Kill It: Style Creator War' is a creator survival program that tests style and content planning abilities. Kim made a name for herself as a prominent new style creator by claiming the final victory after fierce competition.
