Actor Choi Won-young appears on 'Radio Star,' revealing behind-the-scenes details about her long-standing "confident married look" dating back to her single days, and how she secured second place in a "zoning out contest" with around 70 participants. She also showcases her unique fashion passion by personally purchasing costumes for her characters and demonstrates her impressive upcycling skills by transforming clothes she was about to discard into new pieces.

The the 5th broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Choi Yoon-jeong; directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, and Byun Da-hee) features a special episode titled "Between Fashions and Passions: A Shot of Hip~" with Choi Won-young, Lee Tae-ran, Bada, and Martin.

Choi Won-young reveals how she established herself as the "confident married look" starting from her mid-to-late 30s when she was still unmarried, taking on father roles. It all began with writer Kim Eun-sook's drama 'The Heirs.' She explains that at the time, the actor playing her son was only about ten years younger than her, so she expressed concerns to writer Kim Eun-sook. However, after receiving a confident response, she ended up accepting the father role.

She says that following the success of 'The Heirs,' father roles kept coming in succession. Not only in 'SKY Castle' but also in 'Hwarang,' which starred Park Seo-joon and BTS's V, she played a father. She shares how she was surprised when an unexpectedly large son appeared while searching for her lost son in the drama, adding humor by revealing behind-the-scenes details about taking on the role of Lee Gwang-soo's father.

She also reveals how she recently participated in the "zoning out contest" and secured second place. Choi Won-young explains that rankings were determined based on a combination of heart rate, public voting, and performance scores among approximately 70 finalists.

Notably, she disclosed that she began rehearsing at home with the goal of winning even before the competition day. In the actual contest, she wore her prepared outfit and zoned out for about an hour and 30 minutes, demonstrating exceptional immersion.

The striking fashion showcased during the contest is also revealed. Choi Won-young explains that she wore floral-patterned socks on one foot while pairing dress shoes with sneakers on the other to express "the joys and sorrows of office workers." This look captured the modern person's desire to have their body at work but their heart in a flower field, drawing significant attention.

Choi Won-young's unique method of analyzing characters is also revealed. She explains that when joining a project, she personally considers even the costume concepts and, if needed clothes are hard to find, she searches for them herself or dyes them.

Notably, it is reported that about 50% of the costumes worn in the drama "Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness" ('Moja-Mu-Ssa') were purchased with her own money, surprising everyone. She also drew attention by revealing that she personally prepared her outfits for 'SKY Castle.' Choi Won-young emphasizes that costumes are a crucial element in completing characters within a work and expresses her conviction that no expense is too great when investing in character development.

Her daring fashion from past wrap parties is also brought up. Choi Won-young explains that after dramas ended, she felt liberated and freely chose outfits she wanted to wear, earning herself nicknames like "Wrap Party Villain" and "Fashion Accomplice."

Her surprising upcycling skills also capture attention. Choi Won-young reveals costumes she personally created by upcycling clothes she was about to discard and gifts them to Cortis Martin. Wearing the upcycled outfit, Martin performs a natural walk and stages an impromptu fashion show, completing a unique cross-generational fashion chemistry.
