What are Kim Ji-won’s sneakers? Her chaebol fashion becomes center of attention (Queen of Tears)

Kim Ji-won is currently portraying the role of the third-generation chaebol Hong Hae-in in tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Queen of Tears“. As her character appears as a department store CEO, her glamorous and well-suited styling has garnered attention.

From the very first episode, her fashion choices exuded luxury. In the scene where she visits Kim Soo-hyun’s hometown, she emphasized her third-generation chaebol image from head to toe with company D’s jacket, skirt and belt. Company R’s shoes completed the image of “innocent princess Kim Ji-won”.

She also showcased various moods. The black dress that expresses the arrogance of department store CEO Hong Hae-in is a product from company A and costs about 5.4 million won. Even when working as an intern at the department store, she displayed unique chaebol intern fashion with hot pink outfit. The jacket, blouse and skirt worn in this scene costs about 5.5 million won, 2.6 million won and 2.65 million won, respectively. The total cost of the outfit exceeds 10 million won.

Especially noteworthy is her ability to pull off styles ranging from relatively mainstream brands to the highest-end luxury brands. She wore a two-piece from domestic brand A and elegantly styled an old-money look with global brand R’s shirt. At the same time, she frequently showcases outfits from the top luxury brand C.

Her accessories and props epitomize luxury. The wedding ring from company B exceeds 10 million won in price. She expressed the chaebol character with a 3.9 million won necklace from company C, 14.65 million won earrings from company T, 80 million won earrings from company B and 3 million won shoes from company R. The sneakers that became a significant plot device in episode 4, which aired on March 17th, in the relationship development between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won are from company R, gathering attention as “Kim Ji-won’s sneakers”.

Kim Ji-won, who mainly showcased a simple style in her previous drama “My Liberation Notes”, has undergone a 180-degree transformation in this project. With the help of luxury fashion, she is portraying the third-generation chaebol Hong Hae-in perfectly.

Her efforts have paid off. After the broadcast of “Queen of Tears”, “Kim Ji-won’s fashion” has been a hot topic on SNS and online communities. Products labeled as “Kim Ji-won’s dresses” are being sold out on online shopping malls.

Meanwhile, “Queen of Tears” started with a viewership rating of 5.9% (according to Nielsen Korea) in its first episode and achieved 13% in the fourth episode, showing a significant increase.
