Model and actor Kim Won-jung has received positive reviews for his MC debut on Netflix's reality entertainment show 'Wardrobe Battle' Season 2.

Since its release on the 20th of last month, 'Wardrobe Battle' Season 2 (hereafter referred to as 'Wardrobe Battle 2') has seen Kim Won-jung capture viewers' attention with his fashionable sense, fitting for a top Korean model, and his entertainment acumen, which rivals that of co-host Kim Na-young.

'Wardrobe Battle 2' features two fashion experts with distinct senses who delve into celebrities' closets to create personalized styling challenges for clients. Kim Won-jung, stepping in as the new MC following Jung Jae-hyung from the previous season, is solidifying his presence not just as a top model and actor, but also as a promising variety show host.

The show's appeal lies in the revelation of celebrities' private wardrobes, practical fashion tips, and the intense styling battles where Kim Won-jung and Kim Na-young go all out using their own cherished items. Their chemistry, affectionately dubbed the 'Fashion Kim Siblings,' has emerged as one of the key highlights of the season.

Kim Won-jung is deeply invested in the styling challenges, meticulously analyzing clients' Instagram feeds and even preparing styling PowerPoint presentations. With his extensive background as a fashion model, brand designer, and fashion entrepreneur, his genuine passion for clothing and style shines through as he experiences the highs and lows of the competition and client satisfaction, providing delightful entertainment.

Despite positioning himself as an 'introverted rookie MC' opposite the seasoned broadcaster Kim Na-young, Kim Won-jung consistently delivers witty remarks and displays a competitive spirit at the right moments, showcasing his potential as a rising star in the 'fashion-challenged' (gam-da-sal) genre.

Recognized as a style icon in the fashion industry and the first Asian model to walk the Prada show, Kim Won-jung also proved his acting prowess last year by perfectly embodying the mysterious and alluring character 'Ha-bibi' in the final episode of the drama 'Love in the Big City.' Now, adding MC to his resume of model, designer, and actor, his unique style and charm are bringing him closer to the public, raising anticipation for his future endeavors.

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

Netizens have reacted positively, commenting, 'Kim Won-jung was always outstanding as a model, and now he has variety show talent too,' and 'Great chemistry with Kim Na-young! Looking forward to next week.' There was also significant interest in the 'Fashion Kim Siblings' practical advice and item utilization.
