'Oh Yoon-hee Role' Yoo-jin Transforms into Hera Palace Resident
Stylist Director Hong Eun-hwa "Differentiated Clothing Materials and Colors"
[Asia Economy Reporter Eunji Kim] 'Penthouse' actress Yoo Jin has shed her pitiful image and entered high society.
Actress Yoo Jin plays the role of Oh Yoon-hee in SBS's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Penthouse' (written by Kim Soon-ok / directed by Joo Dong-min), a character who races for the happiness of her daughter Bae Ro-na (played by Kim Hyun-soo) and herself. Oh Yoon-hee, portrayed by Yoo Jin, maintained a modest wardrobe and nearly bare-faced natural makeup that matched her early portrayal as a working-class character.
Oh Yoon-hee, who used to run around wearing simple shirts, jeans, and sneakers, underwent a 180-degree transformation upon moving into Hera Palace. She not only adopted a charismatic gaze and confident posture but also pulled off luxurious looks such as setup suits and square-neck black dresses.
Casual Look → Setup Suit Styling
Regarding this, Yoo Jin's stylist Hong Eun-hwa explained that she styled Oh Yoon-hee according to the production team's requests: "When she lived in Bosong Village, they wanted her to wear fewer clothes," and "Even in the early days after moving into Hera Palace, they hoped she wouldn't dress too formally."
"When Oh Yoon-hee lived in Bosong Village, she was a real estate agent. Since it was a very active job, we mainly used casual clothes centered on check-patterned outfits and jeans. We selected a few items and changed the outfits accordingly. Until the early days after moving into Hera Palace, we used cotton fabric clothes. After joining J-King Holdings, we added points with suits featuring various button styles and monochrome setup suits." (Yoo Jin's stylist Hong Eun-hwa)
Changed Fabric, Color, and Size of Clothing
Stylist Hong Eun-hwa also made changes in texture, color, size, and shape to express Oh Yoon-hee blending into high society. The rough-looking cotton shirts were replaced with silky silk materials, and the loose fit that rounded the body line was changed to a tailored silhouette size.
"After moving into Hera Palace, we mainly matched silky blouses or pastel-tone or bright ivory-colored clothes to give a luxurious look. We also made differences in size. Before moving into Hera Palace, Oh Yoon-hee wore jackets with a relaxed fit. After moving in, she was styled in clothes that fit her body perfectly to create a dressed-up feel. On special days for Oh Yoon-hee, we choose dresses to add variety."
'Penthouse' depicts the real estate and education wars among Shim Soo-ryun (played by Lee Ji-ah), the queen of the 100th floor of Hera Palace, Cheon Seo-jin (played by Kim So-yeon), the prima donna of desire, and Oh Yoon-hee, who is trying to enter high society. It airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM.
