Hong Jin-kyung, a TV personality and former model, shared her impressions of participating as a judge on "Style Words."

On the afternoon of the 9th, the production press conference for OTT platform Disney+'s new variety show "Style Words" was held at The Saint in Sindorim-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. Attendees included co-directors Kim Na-hyun and PD Jeong Jong-chan, MC Hye-ri, judges Hong Jin-kyung, Bae Jung-nam, and Junji, Creative Director and Vice President Chung Uk-jun, and fashion stylist Chief Choi (real name Choi Hee-seung), among others.

"Style Words" is a national fashion survival variety show in which 72 people who are truly passionate about fashion compete solely on style, regardless of age, occupation, or experience. Participants, armed with their own tastes and sensibilities, take on ingenious and diverse missions, engaging in fierce styling battles to overwhelm competitors with their unique styles.

On this day, Hong Jin-kyung revealed, "All the participants had fashion sense, passion, and were all excellent. So it was truly painful. In a survival program, isn't someone destined to be eliminated while someone else passes? As judges, we had to decide who among these talented people would be eliminated and who would pass, making it a painful task."

What were the judging criteria? Hong Jin-kyung said, "For me, having no criteria was the criterion. I didn't go in with any specific standard for judging; rather, I went to the recording studio every day with a mindset of wanting to enjoy myself. And I actually did enjoy it. As a result, I could see who was wearing the clothes most authentically and enjoying them the most."

He repeatedly emphasized, "When evaluating, the slight difference ultimately came down to how much I enjoyed that fashion; that is where the decision was made."

"Style Words" will be released starting on the 11th, with two episodes airing sequentially each Wednesday, for a total of 10 episodes available to watch.
