Being beautiful is an advantage; living beautifully is a skill.
That's Choi Eun-ri's life motto. Her father, a man who married up, bullied her because she had her mother's face. In a fit of anger, Choi Eun-ri left the home where she had never belonged.
Flyer distributor, server, receptionist: she used her looks to find opportunities, seized them, became a model, then got scouted and joined a talent show.
The script she was originally handed was to play a wicked supporting character and a royal plant who was only there to lose.
She acted out wherever she went, fought with her teammates on livestreams, fought for screen time and center position, and did every single thing that could get her criticized. But the fans adored her anyway.
She accidentally messed up a move in a knife dance, and the resulting video went viral.
She missed her mark, and a passerby captured an iconic photo of her.
She sang only one line in the entire song, and that was the line that became a hit.
A woman born to be a superstar, a genius whose success was only natural: that's the title netizens gave Choi Eun-ri. With her own efforts, she turned the most boring talent show imaginable into a trend across Asia.
