Model and actor Kim Won-jung has received high marks for his debut as an MC on Netflix's daily variety show 'Wardrobe Wars 2'.

Since its release on the 20th, 'Wardrobe Wars 2' has seen Kim Won-jung capture attention with his fashionable sense befitting a top Korean model, alongside variety show skills comparable to co-host Kim Na-young.

'Wardrobe Wars 2,' a show where two fashion experts with distinct styles tackle clients' wardrobe makeovers, is gaining popularity with top model and actor Kim Won-jung joining as the new MC, following Jung Jae-hyung from the previous season.

The show highlights celebrities' private closets, offers practical fashion tips, and features an intense styling competition where the two MCs utilize their personal items as secret weapons. The chemistry between Kim Won-jung and Kim Na-young, dubbed the 'Fashion Kim Siblings,' who get deeply invested in the styling battles, is a key highlight of this season.

Kim Won-jung demonstrates his dedication to styling by thoroughly examining clients' Instagram profiles and even creating styling PowerPoint presentations. With his deep knowledge and passion for fashion, stemming from his careers as a model, brand designer, and fashion entrepreneur, he brings a delightful energy to the show, reacting vividly to the competition results and client satisfaction.

While positioning himself as a 'rookie MC' and an introvert venturing into the domain of the 'professional broadcaster' Kim Na-young, he showcased his charm as a rising variety star through timely, witty remarks and a competitive spirit.

Kim Won-jung, a global fashion icon known for being the first Asian model to walk in a Prada show, also recently impressed as an actor with his portrayal of the mysterious and alluring 'Habibi' in the final episode of the drama 'Love in the Big City.'

From modeling and designing to acting and now variety MCing, Kim Won-jung is coming closer to the public with his unique style and charm across various genres. Anticipation is high for the new facets of his career he will unveil.

Meanwhile, Netflix's 'Wardrobe Wars 2,' featuring Kim Won-jung, is released every Monday at 5 PM KST.
