Being an actor does not rule out being interested in fashion even if roles occasionally call for you to dress in a less than fashionable way.
Gong Hyo Jin wore clothes that looked like hospital gowns at the start of "The Master's Sun" and she played a girl with frizzy hair and ugly clothes in "Crush and Blush" but in real life, she is something of a fashionista. In fact, young professional women consider her a fashion icon. Not only does her quirky fashion sense and slender body mean her style often gets her photographed, but the actress has designed shoes and clothes. The actress helped produce a shoe collection for the brand pushBUTTON and Suecomma Bonnie. She designed clothes for the Los Angeles Project fashion shop.
Choi Kang Hee, who was last seen in "Level 7 Civil Servant" is also well known for her distinctive fashion sense. She filmed a cable proram with the theme "Choi Kang Hee's Six Addictions" in which she shopped and browsed in New York clothing stores. She's frequently seen at Seoul Fashion Week checking out the latest looks while stylishly dressed. The actress and a disc jockey has her own clothing brand Nowhere333.
Kim Min Hee, who has dated actors Lee Jung Jae, Lee Soo Hyuk and is currently dating Jo In Sung, is also very fashion conscious. Her abillity to convey style even won her praise from singer and fashion icon G-Dragon.
"Kim Min Hee noona is able to pull off any sort of style," G-Dragon told Seoulbeats. "Every time I see her, she has this really distinctive flair that I think is amazing. Sometimes she'll look boyish, sometimes innocent, and sometimes even sexy. She doesn't stand out too much and matches to every situation she's in. I think she's pretty even in just a white t-shirt and jeans."
Her ability to transform so thoroughly has made her a highly sought after model.
And it's not just actresses who are interested in fashion. Kim Min Hee's boyfriend Jo in Sung won a fashion award in Shanghai for his understated style.
And Park Hae Jin, fresh from his successful role on "Doctor Stranger," will make his official debut this as fashion designer in China.
He holds his first fashion show for the Chinese brand V-Modern on July 17th. He collaborated on the line with Chinese designer Mark Chang. It's his first show as a designer but he has been a model before. He appeared on the June edition of the fashion magazine "Official Homme," modeling for Dior.
