Friendly Rivalry: Kang Hyewon's visuals level up, a treasure of beauty that everyone loves

Kang Hyewon recently impressed the audience with her upgraded beauty in the hit drama "Friendly Rivalry". The former IZ*ONE member was praised for her transformation into a new and profound role.

Currently, the Korean screen has an extremely hot movie called Friendly Rivalry. This work has dramatic content, with the participation of an impressive cast of visuals and Kang Hye Won is one of them.

Friendly Rivalry is set at Chaehwa Girls' High School, an elite school for the top 1% of students. Kang Hye Won plays Joo Ye Ri, the school's gossip queen who is obsessed with looks and luxury brands. Unlike her academically-oriented peers, Joo Ye Ri is known more for her striking beauty than her grades.

In short, Joo Ye Ri is the beauty queen of Chaehwa Girls' High School and Kang Hye Won with her top-notch beauty is clearly the perfect choice for this role. Coming from a Kpop idol background, although not an A-list star, the former Iz*One member is still remembered for her extremely outstanding visuals since she was a rookie. She is memorable not only on screen, when attending events, but also in everyday scenes.

In Friendly Rivalry, Kang Hyewon plays the supporting female character Joo Ye Ri, introduced as the "gossip queen" at Chaehwa Girls' High School. Unlike her friends who only care about grades, Ye Ri is extremely obsessed with weight and luxury goods. Kang Hyewon worked out and dieted to lose weight to create a suitable appearance for the role. Hyewon is 1m63 tall and weighed only 37kg at the time of filming Friendly Rivalry. The full frame shows the skinny body and skinny limbs of the former IZ*ONE member in the film.

Many viewers admire the 26-year-old actress for putting her heart and soul into her role, sacrificing her ideal appearance. Hyeri - the actress who plays the female lead Jae Yi - lamented Hye Won's skinny body, comparing her wrists to chicken bones. The audience was worried that her alarming weight would make Hyewon look haggard. Surprisingly, in close-up shots, the actress is beautiful and attractive in a schoolgirl uniform.

Chaehwa High School's hot girl creates a highlight for her school appearance, attracting attention by combining stylish accessories with her uniform. She promotes designer handbags, high heels with high socks. Her light makeup with blush and pink lipstick helps Ye Ri look more vibrant and fresh despite her malnutrition.

Joo Ye Ri is a scheming character who knows how to use information to gain benefits. She applies different tactics when approaching Jae Yi (Hyeri), Seul Gi (Chung Su Bin) or Choi Kyung (Oh Woo Ri). Her deep expressions and sharp eyes are subtly transformed to help Hyewon's character become more lively and attractive.

"Ye Ri is quick-witted and sometimes pragmatic. Even when faced with difficult situations, instead of getting discouraged or standing still, she always tries to find her own way to survive. But if you look at Ye Ri's entire life, you can't hate her completely." - Hyewon shared about the role.

During her time as a member of the group IZ*ONE until her transition to acting, Hyewon received many negative responses because of her stiff and inflexible expressions. Therefore, her return in Friendly Rivalry is considered a significant progress in her acting career. Friendly Rivalry (Vietnamese title: Friends and friends or Friendly competition) is inspired by the famous webtoon of the same name, exploiting the fierce survival battle in the school environment.

The clever combination of dramatic and humorous elements along with deep layers of metaphors has helped Friendly Rivalry become a hit on the small screen in many Asian countries since its release. In China, the film has achieved 9.3/10 stars on Douban, attracting many positive responses from the audience.
