Kim Min-seol currently plays the role of Jin Hong-ju in the MBC daily drama First Man. Her character is portrayed as an ambitious woman who always manages to get what she wants. While she usually appears as a highly competent professional, Hong-ju also shows a more clumsy and charming side when she is around her crush Kang Baek-ho, played by Yoon Sun-woo, creating a surprising contrast that has won viewers’ affection.
In episode 59, Hong-ju put Chae Hwa-young, played by Oh Hyun-kyung, in an awkward situation by presenting a bouquet of flowers disguised as a gift from Kang Nam-bong, portrayed by Jung Chan. The move served as a satisfying moment of payback for the grievances she had endured earlier. In episode 60, Hong-ju also appeared with a noticeable change in styling and showed a shy, nervous side in front of Baek-ho. Through stable acting and a wide range of emotions, Kim Min-seol continues to bring the character vividly to life.
On March 12, her agency Chorokbaem Entertainment shared behind-the-scenes stills from episode 60 of First Man through its official social media channels, highlighting Hong-ju’s evolving styling.
In the photos, Kim Min-seol captivates attention with a more refined and graceful appearance. Even while focusing on filming, she displays bright smiles and playful expressions, capturing the cheerful and lovable charm of her character Hong-ju.
Until now, Kim Min-seol’s character had often been seen with a neatly tied ponytail and various office-style outfits. Starting from episode 60, however, she appears with natural straight hair and a pink tweed set accented with ribbon details. Paired with a white handbag, the look adds a sense of elegance and luxury. The styling reflects Hong-ju’s changing circumstances after beginning to live with the family of Chairman Ma, played by Lee Hyo-jung, symbolizing the character’s growing wealth and confidence.
As First Man reaches its midpoint with episode 60, the drama signals the start of a new chapter for both the story and Hong-ju. Viewers are increasingly looking forward to how Kim Min-seol will continue to develop the role moving forward.
First Man airs every Monday to Friday at 7:05 p.m. on MBC.
