Models So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung have returned to their original profession as models and embarked on a new challenge at Paris Fashion Week.
In the MBC variety program 'So-ra and Jin-kyung' broadcast on the 26th, scenes were shown of the two creating their own portfolios to submit to Paris. Comedian Kim Won-hoon and actor Lee Dong-hwi appeared as studio panelists to watch their challenge.
During the broadcast, archival footage was revealed showing Hong Jin-kyung winning the 'Best Pose Award' in a supermodel selection contest early in her debut, drawing attention. Hong Jin-kyung, flustered by the somewhat unconventional pose from back then, said, "Don't make memes out of this," eliciting laughter.

Leaving their memories behind, the two began preparations in earnest, unable to hide their excitement. As Hong Jin-kyung organized her past records into her portfolio, she expressed her emotional state, saying, "The day has come to put this back here."
So-ra also looked at the completed portfolio and remarked, "It's amazing that this is really going to Paris," while Hong Jin-kyung added, "You really have to live a long life to see this," sharing her thoughts on returning to her original profession.
Subsequently, scenes of them returning to their daily lives were also revealed. In particular, it was disclosed that Hong Jin-kyung's mother, after seeing So-ra in the past, resolved to make Hong Jin-kyung a model, sold her gold bracelet to buy clothes for her, and then directly submitted documents to SBS.
In this process, Hong Jin-kyung's exam ticket for the supermodel selection contest, which she had submitted initially, was revealed for the first time, drawing attention. Attention is focused on what kind of performance the two legendary models, who reunited after 15 years, will show on the Paris stage.
