Actress Hyeri shared her honest thoughts and feelings about stepping up as a main MC for the very first time through the upcoming Disney+ original reality series Style Wars.
On the morning of the 9th, a press conference for the Disney+ variety show ‘Style Wars’ was held at The Saint in Sindorim, Guro-gu, Seoul. PDs Kim Nahyeon and Jeong Jong-chan, alongside cast members Hyeri, Hong Jin-kyung, Jun Ji (Jeong Wook-jun), Bae Jeong-nam, and Choi Sil-jang, attended the event to share various behind-the-scenes stories.
‘Style Wars’ is a large-scale national fashion survival show where 72 contestants who are deeply passionate about fashion compete purely through styling, regardless of age, profession, or career background. The diverse lineup features fashion industry professionals such as designers, stylists, and models, alongside creators, medical students, and game developers, promising intense styling clashes.
Hyeri, who is taking on her first-ever MC role through this program, spoke about the 72 contestants, saying, “I got to see them before the judges did, and I was completely overwhelmed. I initially thought there wouldn’t be that many people, but because there were so many unique and diverse characters, I felt overwhelmed and nervous.” She added, “To be honest, since this is my survival MC debut, I worried about whether I could do well, and I felt so nervous that I thought, ‘Ah, I got overpowered.'”
Reflecting on her decision to take on the challenge, Hyeri confessed, “It was a position that felt quite daunting. I worried whether I could actually pull it off, but our producers gave me a lot of courage. Although I might know less about fashion than the judges, I started with the mindset of becoming an MC who looks more deeply into the hearts of these participants.”
Hyeri further stated, “Up until now, I’ve shown a somewhat similar image, so I thought I should try a transformation through ‘Style Wars’ and enthusiastically take on the challenge. There was a lot of fun in that process.” Notably, she also highlighted her new short-hair transformation during the event.
Meanwhile, the Disney+ original series ‘Style Wars’ is set to premiere on the 11th.
