Han Ji Min VS Sandara Park, Same Clothes, Different Feel

The people in charge of beauty, Sandara Park and Han Ji Min, and their fashion has been a hot topic lately.

On the SBS drama “Rooftop Prince,” episode which aired on April 18th, Park Yoochun and Han Ji Min shared their first kiss as a couple for the show; the sweet love line between the crown prince played by Yoochun and the simple Han Ji Min drew attention.

On that episode, Han Ji Min accentuated her cute style with a hooded cardigan, looking good in her outfit that accentuated her youthful image, making it hard to guess her age. In the drama, Han Ji Min plays a character that calls for clothes that will have lively colors, yet casual styles.

Naturally stylish, and giving off a bright aura, Han Ji Min’s fashion is bright and cheerful, it is a style that suits her perfectly.

On the other hand, Sandara Park, who was recently seen in an advertisement for a beauty product, looked young and cute in the same cardigan worn by Han Ji Min, and with her adorable apple hairstyle, it showed off a more youthful flow. Looking young, even though they are both women in their late 20s, their fashion became a hot topic with the netizens. 

Those who saw the drama and the CF commented, “These are people who are impossible to tell the ages of,” “Would I look as good with the hooded cardigan fashion too?” “Their superior genes cannot be hidden,” showing their reaction.

How about you guys? Who do you think killed the hooded cardigan fashion more? ^^
