Hyeri Makes Her Survival-Show MC Debut on Disney+'s 'Style Wars,' Where 72 Fashion Lovers Compete for 100 Million Won
Disney+ presented its fashion survival show 'Style Wars,' hosted by Hyeri and judged by Hong Jin-kyung, Juun.J, Bae Jung-nam and Chief Choi, at a press conference in Seoul on Nov. 9 KST ahead of its Nov. 11 premiere.
Hyeri is trying something new. The singer and actor hosts 'Style Wars,' a Disney+ fashion survival show in which 72 contestants compete on styling alone, regardless of age, job or experience. The cast and producers presented the show in Seoul on Nov. 9 KST.
Hyeri said it is her first time hosting a survival show and that the contestants overwhelmed her. "I actually know less about fashion than the judges, but I started with the idea that I could be an MC who looks a little more into these contestants' minds," she said, as translated by CHOSUNBIZ.
Hong Jin-kyung, designer Juun.J, Bae Jung-nam and Chief Choi judge the contestants, who range from designers, stylists and models to creators, medical students and game developers. Cineplay reports WINNER's Lee Seung-hoon is among them and the winner takes home 100 million won. Maeil Business reports the judges sometimes argued until 3 a.m. before agreeing on a decision.
'Style Wars' premieres Nov. 11 on Disney+. Cineplay reports the 10-episode series will release two episodes every Wednesday.
