Top Model Han Hye-jin Challenges Senior Hong Jin-kyung on 'Sora and Jin-kyung'

Global top model Han Hye-jin delivers a sharp critique to her senior, Hong Jin-kyung.

In the upcoming episode of MBC's variety show 'Sora and Jin-kyung', airing on the 3rd, viewers will witness the fiery encounter between 28-year veteran top model Han Hye-jin and Hong Jin-kyung. Han, a pioneer who paved the way for Korean models on the international stage by conquering an average of 70 shows per season at fashion weeks in New York, Milan, and Paris, steps in to support her close friend Hong.

During the broadcast, Han Hye-jin first points out Hong's "rotten mindset." Hong Jin-kyung, preparing for Paris Fashion Week, displays a defensive attitude, saying, "It's a variety show, so even if I fail, I have nothing to lose." Han's blunt remark, "With that mindset, you'll regret it when you return to Korea," shakes Hong's confidence.

Han shares her past experiences of running around New York, attending up to 30 auditions a day, and offers heartfelt encouragement, saying, "You are the hope for Korean women in their 40s and 50s," which awakens Hong's dormant model DNA.

Having strengthened Hong's mentality with both encouragement and critique, Han's ultimate strategy is revealed: sharing invaluable tips for real auditions. Her insider knowledge, such as finding the perfect heels, piques curiosity.

Whether Hong Jin-kyung, with Han Hye-jin's guidance, can transform into a 'global model' will be revealed in the episode airing at 9:10 PM on 'Sora and Jin-kyung'.
