Welcome to Storyflix.
In this video, we will explain Fashion King.
This movie tells the story
of a teenage boy who decides to change his style to get his high school crush to notice him.
No one thought his changes could bring him into the center of attraction.
Will an ordinary student turn charming and be admired by everyone?
Let's find out in Fashion King.
Fashion King begins with a high school boy getting beat up by his schoolmates one morning.
As if still not satisfied, the bullies then told him whose name was Woo Ki-myung,
to go to the store and buy them breakfast.
But before Ki-myung leaves, one of the bullies tells him to crawl over his legs.
Ki-myung does as he's told, even though he ends up being watched by passersby,
even though some laugh and film his embarrassing act.
Then, Ki-myung runs to the nearest convenience store
and buys food and drink for the "young masters," before heading off to school.
But when he entered his classroom,
he found the bullies had been punished by their teacher in front of the class.
The teacher then asks Ki-myung to come to the front of the class, and afterward, he
announces to all the students that Ki-myung will be transferring to a school in Seoul.
On this day, Ki-myung bids farewell to his classmates.
A few days later, Ki-myung and his family move into their new apartment.
And when he brought his home things there, he bumped into a girl named Eun-jin,
his new neighbor in the apartment complex.
She seems like a friendly girl, and she then greets Ki-myung warmly.
But, for some reason, Ki-myung bluntly says that Eun-jin is ugly.
No doubt, hearing his stupid words, his mother immediately reprimanded him.
His mother then chats with Eun-jin.
And from their short chat, she finds out that Eun-jin is the top student at her school.
But Ki-myung doesn't care.
Without another word, he continued on his way to the apartment.
The next day, Ki-myung starts his first day at his new school,
and he immediately runs into Eun-jin in the lobby.
But unexpectedly, she invites him to take a photo with her because his
mother asked Eun-jin to send photo evidence that Ki-myung really did go to school.
After school,
while Ki-myung is walking down the corridor,
he sees a beautiful girl who has stunned him,
Park Hye-jin.
She is the most popular girl in school,
and her beauty can even make students crowd in front of the elevator she is riding in.
But no one dares to enter the same elevator as her,
except for the transfer student Ki-myung.
Meanwhile, outside the school, the girls excitedly welcomed the arrival of the school's prince,
Kim Won-ho.
The crowd screams hysterically even more after his girlfriend,
Hye-jin, comes out of the school building and meets him.
People do think of them as a perfect couple.
As if realizing that he has no chance, Ki-myung walks away.
But just as he walked a few steps, he was intercepted by Hye-jin's bodyguard,
who accused him of being presumptuous for daring to approach Hye-jin.
And for that, Ki-myung must be beaten.
Luckily, Won-ho prevents the guard's rudeness.
After that,
Ki-myung returns home, and decides to browse the internet using his laptop.
And that's when he found a shopping site that sells trendy clothes.
He immediately asked his mother to buy him some clothes without wasting any time.
His mother didn't mind.
She is even moved because this is the first time Ki-myung has asked her to buy him something.
A few days later,
he came to school wearing a jacket he had bought from the shopping site, or rather bought by his
mother. But that can't prevent him from becoming a target for school thugs. He is pulled over and
carried by a delinquent, Chang-joo, to a deserted place, where Chang-joo asks him to hand over his
money. But unexpectedly, Chang-joo realizes that he's wearing the same jacket as Ki-myung.
They even bought it from the same shop. After discussing their jackets for a while,
they realized they were buying imitations. Angry at being cheated on, they decided to go directly
to the shop. But the shop looks deserted. There was no one to greet them, even after they had
shouted and banged on the door. After a while, a man came and opened the lock of the shop.
He is the shop owner, Kim Nam-jung. Ki-myung and Chang-joo then follow Nam-jung in, and there they
complain about their jackets turning out to be fakes before Ki-myung finally asks for his
money back. But, instead of complying with their demands, Nam-jung invites the two of them to come
with him to the city's bustling center, where many fashion shops line up. It turns out that Nam-jung
is a famous figure. Many people laud him as soon as they see him. Impressed by Nam-jung's fame,
Ki-myung and Chang-joo ask him to hire them at his shop. They are even willing
to do any work if appointed as his workers. Nam-jung grants their wish. The next day,
they start working at Nam-jung's place. There they get some training; conduct a photoshoot;
and exercise together to shape their bodies to be more ideal, like professional models. A few days
later, their school held an event to crown the fashionable students. The students greeted him
enthusiastically. They make up for themselves with whatever they think makes them look fashionable.
However, when Won-ho and Hye-jin appeared, the whole school was instantly captivated by their
appearance. They realized that none of them could match the pair. But the attention the
duo gets only lasts a moment because next, Ki-myung enters the arena in a unique style.
Everyone immediately gathered around him, commenting on the scene before them.
Several days had passed since that event. In the middle of cleaning the classroom,
Ki-myung gets a message from an unknown number asking him to come to the auditorium.
Out of curiosity, he rushed there, but he found no one in the end. Just as he was about to leave,
the mysterious figure arrived. It was none other than Hye-jin. She calls Ki-myung there
to tell him that tomorrow is her birthday, and she wants him to come to celebrate her birthday
party. She even gave him her contact number. The next night, Ki-myung comes to Hye-jin's party.
At the party, where Ki-myung is the only man invited, he sings her a birthday song
before giving her a present. But Ki-myung isn't the only man to give her a present.
On the way home after the party was over, Hye-jin met Won-ho, congratulating her and giving her a
present. Sometime later, the school held a sports festival, and all the students wore tracksuits.
Ki-myung and Won-ho are no exception. They even added extra accessories to their uniforms,
making them the center of attention. Naturally, they were later called to the teacher's room
and punished for daring to hold a fashion show in the middle of a sporting event. After giving them
the punishment, the teacher suddenly tells Won-ho that his father called the school
and reported that he will be changing schools. Still angry, the teacher then tells Won-ho that
if he intends to change schools, he should do it right away instead of causing chaos in the school.
Later that night, Won-ho stalks Hye-jin's social media to see who people commented on her posts.
And that's when he finds Ki-myung's account. Then he opens it and finds information that Ki-myung
works at a shop that sells fake clothes. As if not wanting to waste his chance, the next day Won-ho
visits the shop where Ki-myung and Chang-joo work. He confessed that he wanted to shop, even though
his real purpose was to insult them for selling fake clothes. He's a huge success because Ki-myung
and Chang-joo are furious at his insults. And they get even angrier after Won-ho throws the money on
the floor without taking a single thing home. Not long after, when Nam-jung is alone in the shop,
he is arrested and taken to the police station on charges of selling counterfeit goods. Upon hearing
of their mentor's arrest, Ki-myung and Chang-joo rush to the police station to check it out.
But luckily, Nam-jung has only spent a few days at the police station. Once free, he goes straight
to Won-ho and invites him to talk on the deserted roof. He knows Won-ho reported him to the police,
and Won-ho doesn't deny it either. Nam-jung, of course, is furious at Won-ho's actions
because after all he suffered a considerable loss. But Won-ho lightly offers to make up for the loss,
no matter how much he has to pay. Feeling his pride trampled on, Nam-jung responds to
Won-ho's offer by punching him. But Won-ho's bodyguard doesn't stand still watching his
master being beaten. He beat Nam-jung so badly, that Nam-jung had to be taken to the hospital.
Ki-myung and Chang-joo then visit Nam-jung at the hospital. In front of the unconscious Nam-jung,
they vow to take revenge on Won-ho. The next day at school, the first thing Ki-myung does
is look for Won-ho. He manages to find him and immediately asks why he attacks Nam-jung.
But while they're talking, all the students at school receive a mysterious video on their phones,
and so does Ki-myung. The video contained Ki-myung when he was bullied by students at his former
school. In an instant, the gazes of everyone around Ki-myung turn to him. Some people looked
at him with pity, but not a few who looked at him with disgust. As if finding a golden opportunity,
Won-ho's bodyguards then beat up and insult Ki-myung, calling him a loser.
The provocation goes smoothly because a moment later, Hye-jin joins in calling Ki-myung a loser.
The next day, Ki-myung thinks about transferring to another school. But then, Chang-joo and
Nam-jung come to stop him. They argued that he might meet someone else who would expose
his old disgrace even if he changed schools. That's why Ki-myung can't keep running away.
After thinking for a moment, Ki-myung senses that there is the truth behind what his two friends
say. After that, Ki-myung watches a TV show that reports about Fashion King, the upcoming fashion
modeling event. Ki-myung is interested in the event since Won-ho will also be participating.
Ki-myung then immediately goes to Nam-jung at his shop to ask him to train him to be a model
because he will follow Fashion King. And so began the training session.
Apart from fashion, Nam-jung trains Ki-myung by teaching him about bodybuilding. Finally,
the day came when the Fashion King was held. Many participants took part in the event, but as usual,
Won-ho was again the center of attention. In the first round, the participants' bodies will
be measured. Based on the results, they will then be assessed whether they deserve to be a model.
Ki-myung can pass this round without any major problems because he has an ideal body. Of the
hundreds of participants who took part in the first round, only 21 participants passed. In
the next round, the participants had to choose a suit that matched and matched their clothes,
resulting in a fashionable combination. Without a doubt, Won-ho passed this round,
considering that he is well versed in fashion. But when it's Ki-myung's turn, he panics because
he doesn't know what to choose. After all, he still doesn't really understand fashion. Nam-jung
had to give him advice, secretly, of course. But sadly, before Ki-myung can choose, his time is up.
So he was forced to choose a suit at random, and coincidentally the suit he chose looked strange
and unique. When he came out and appeared before the judges, they were astonished at
his appearance. They think Ki-myung has succeeded in bringing out a new fashion feel, a completely
unique idea. They all agree that Ki-myung deserves to advance to the next stage. After the event,
Ki-myung heads to Nam-jung's shop. But while he was alone waiting for the others,
Eun-jin suddenly came, and with a very different appearance. Unlike the reaction when they first
met, now Ki-myung compliments her appearance. Moments later, Chang-joo and Nam-jung arrive,
and the four of them celebrate Ki-myung's victory. But while they were toasting, the delegates from
the organizers of Fashion King came to bring the dresses to be used in the next round. Meanwhile,
Won-ho asks his father for permission to let him participate in a fashion show competition one last
time. But his father refuses, as he wants Won-ho to transfer schools as soon as possible. Won-ho,
however, is just as adamant. He still plans to compete in the competition until it's finished.
On the day of the final round, participants were given the theme of dating.
The participants had to ask women out and put on the dresses that were previously given to them.
This round's result is that Won-ho and Ki-myung qualify for the final. Only the two of them were
the remaining participants. A staff member then explained that in the final round, the theme to
be used was "the only thing in my life." So, the participants must barter one item that they have.
The next day, Ki-myung receives a note from Won-ho, while Won-ho gets a school uniform
from Ki-myung. Ki-myung himself has to buy the clothes he must wear for the final round.
But because Won-ho's nominal money is very small, he decides to buy second-hand clothes,
which he plans to re-sew to look like luxurious clothes. Chang-joo, Eun-jin, and Nam-jung ended
up sewing the clothes for Ki-myung, to the point that they were so exhausted after doing it. While
the three of them are asleep, Ki-myung then tries on the clothes and observes his appearance in the
mirror. It is at this moment that Eun-jin wakes up. She then goes to Ki-myung and compliments him
on his appearance. Ki-myung responds by thanking her before finally confessing his feelings while
hugging her from behind. In the final round, Won-ho was ready to go on stage the next day.
However, Ki-myung still hasn't arrived, and even the staff gets worried that Ki-myung doesn't pick
up the phone. As it turns out, Ki-myung was snatched as he walked toward the event venue.
The thief on the motorbike takes Ki-myung's bag and drives off. But Ki-myung desperately tries
to reclaim his bag because he keeps the clothes he's going to wear tonight in the bag. In the end,
he managed to reclaim his bag, although to do so, he was dragged quite a distance, which resulted
in him getting injured. On the other hand, Won-ho is asked to appear on stage because the committee
can't wait forever for Ki-myung. Ki-myung himself still goes to the location, even though his body
is now covered in wounds and blood. His body was getting weaker so that when he arrived at the
location, he could only sit outside. He was very tired and in pain. But luckily, not long after,
Eun-jin and a staffer happened to find him. The staff then informs his boss of Ki-myung's arrival,
though it's difficult for him to appear on stage because of his injuries. Seeing Ki-myung's severe
condition, people crowd around him, as does the cameraman. His mother also finally found him.
While crying, he tries his best to persuade Ki-myung to go to the hospital quickly.
But he kept refusing. As if realizing Ki-myung's determination, Nam-jung then
prepares the clothes at hand before helping Ki-myung put them on. Once everything is ready,
Ki-myung limps toward the room where the final event is taking place. At the end of the film,
Ki-myung finally confronts Won-ho and returns the money he gave him.
It turns out that Ki-myung didn't use the money at all. The emcee then asks Won-ho to come back,
and he walks away with a look of defeat. Since the winners of Fashion King are determined based on
their outfits and how they walk on stage, Ki-myung then goes up the stage and walks across it to the
audience's cheers. As he acts on stage, he thinks that he is not a loser now like he used to be.
He is the winner of Fashion King. The moral to be learned from this film is don't give up if
you encounter obstacles on your way to achieving your dreams. Hard work will ultimately pay off.
