Mina Sue Choi channels Audrey Hepburn to win first mission of 'Kill It'

Model Mina Sue Choi has emerged as a powerful championship contender after clinching her first mission victory on 'Kill It: Style Creator War.' After reinterpreting an era-defining style icon with her own unique flair, she firmly established her presence by delivering highly polished results in the beauty styling mission.

In the 10th episode of the tvN variety program 'Kill It: Style Creator War' broadcast on the 14th, the fifth round of the finals featured the 'Style Icon Homage Mission' and the 'Beauty Styling Mission.'

During the episode, Choi took the stage with styling that paid homage to the legendary actress and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn.

She personally visited the Dongmyo market to collect items symbolizing Hepburn, including a black mini dress, pearl necklace, gloves, and a long smoking pipe. She added a creative touch by using a pearl necklace as a hair accessory, moving beyond simple reproduction to offer her own unique interpretation.

The finished look received high praise from the judges for its high degree of synchronicity and sophisticated expression. Actress Yum Jung Ah, stylist Jeong Yun-gi, and fashion designer Lie Sang Bong highly praised her, stating, "It feels as if Audrey Hepburn has come back to life." Choi tied for second place with a total score of 220 points.

However, Choi's momentum did not stop there. In the subsequent 'Beauty Styling Mission,' she secured her first place finish, pulling off a major turnaround.

Choi took on a two-person beauty pictorial mission alongside Kyoka, a member of Team Osaka Ojogeng, who participated as a special judge. Despite facing various difficulties during preparation and the pressure of being assigned the first shooting slot, she delivered a successful result through stable styling sense and confident posing.

Kyoka evaluated that "Mina Sue Choi's styling and results had the best balance," and as a result, Choi took first place.

After securing her first win, Choi shared her emotions, saying, "I was truly happy because I had never taken first place in a styling mission before. I am proud of myself."

Through this broadcast, Choi proved not only her aesthetic sense but also her ability to analyze and recreate complex concepts. Following her interpretation of the iconic Audrey Hepburn and her competitive performance in practical missions, she is establishing herself as a key figure for the latter half of the program.

'Kill It: Style Creator War' is a survival program that pits fashion, beauty, and creative styling skills against one another, featuring intense competition centered on the participants' sense and interpretative abilities.
