Chu Hwa-jeong hit the runway — not as a singer, but as a model — revealing a fresh side of her charm. She told fans on Instagram that walking the fashion show's stage was a thrilling experience.

In the released snaps, she channeled a bold mood in an oversized shirt layered with corset detailing. The black-and-blue palette felt polished and metropolitan, while her long, sleek hair and naturally glowing makeup amplified her allure.

The show showcased PHENOMENON SEEPER's new collection, known for inventive designs and daring styling. Onstage, Chu posed with real confidence and drew every eye, radiating the same aura you’d expect from top fashion models.

Her shirt — defined by a structured silhouette and lace-up accents — was a standout. Usually seen with a sweeter image, Chu flipped the script with a tougher, more distinctive look that surprised in the best way.

The fashion world welcomed her appearance. As more idols and artists cross over into runway roles, Chu slid naturally into the trend. Her keen styling sense and stage presence helped elevate the entire show.

Chu’s runway debut wasn’t just a one-off challenge — it opened exciting new doors. Expect her influence to grow beyond music and into fashion in the months ahead.
