Kim Ji-won Wore a Fake CELINE Hat in “Queen of Tears”? Netizens Greatly Confused
Playing a rich heiress in “Queen of Tears”, yet Kim Ji-won showed up in a likely fake Celine hat in a recent episode.
The drama “Queen of Tears” is drawing huge attention, not only with its compelling story but also with its breakthrough in ratings, rising to second place in the history of highest-rated K-dramas on tvN.
Additionally, “Queen of Tears” is a hot topic on social media, and one scene from episode 9 of this series has been highly-discussed.
To elaborate, the scene in question shows Kim Ji-won, who plays the rich heiress and female lead Hong Hae-in, confidently walking wearing a baseball cap with the word “ELINE” on top.
Of course, there have been cases of brand names being censored on K-dramas due to copyright and advertising issues. However, as Kim Ji-won has worn Celine products before in “Queen of Tears”, and her character Hong Hae-in is someone familiar with luxury items, so it is questionable that she would wear an “ELINE” cap instead of a “CELINE” one.
Some netizens suspected that the “ELINE” cap is a counterfeit product, raising questions why the production crew would include it. Others, meanwhile, have a lot of interesting hypotheses regarding the situation.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Was it… a fake cap? Was her character trying to hide her identity by wearing a fake cap?
- I originally thought that they censored the hat because Celine did not sponsor “Queen of Tears”, but Kim Ji-won wore a lot of Celine clothes earlier in the show…
- Just what is their intention with this?
- The crew wouldn’t be so bold as to use a fake item right?
