Recently, the launch event of Bvlgari's 2026 high-end jewelry collection "ECLETTICA" in Milan (Italy) attracted attention, when it gathered brand ambassadors from many countries such as Anne Hathaway, Liu Yifei, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Dua Lipa, Jake Gyllenhaal and Kim Ji Won.
On that day, Kim Ji Won wore a dark blue velvet dress, with a deep strap design that enhanced her neckline, shoulders and seductive bust.
However, despite choosing a luxurious dress, suitable for the event space, Kim Ji Won made the audience worried about her figure. Many people noticed that the actress had clearly lost weight.
After the series of unedited photos at the event spread, many netizens noticed that Kim Ji Won's shoulder, neck and back bones were clearly visible, especially her shoulder blade protruding, making her look even slimmer.
Compared to the somewhat naturally chubby image in the movie "My Free Diary" a few years ago, the actress is almost completely different. The phrase "Kim Ji Won lost a lot of weight" quickly became a hot topic of discussion.
After watching Kim Ji Won's video, netizens expressed concern: "She looks too thin, I don't know if she is on an extreme diet", "Is it because she is filming? She looks much thinner", "This is really hard to recognize", "Is she having health problems?"...
In addition, Kim Ji Won's face at the event also caused controversy. The beauty born in 1992 chose the familiar glossy makeup style of Korean stars. But when standing in front of the strong light of international media, her face became greasy and stiff.
This makes many people suspect that the Korean beauty has abused cosmetic intervention, leading to increasingly unnatural features. In addition, Kim Ji Won's tired eyes make her overall appearance even more sluggish and lifeless.
Over the past time, Kim Ji Won has focused on filming a new drama "Doctor X: Age of the White mafia". The drama is scheduled to air on SBS Korea channel in October 2006. The media believes that Kim Ji Won's weight loss is to meet the requirements of this work.
In fact, this is not the first time the actress has changed her appearance because of the role.
In 2022, when filming "My Free Diary", to suit the image of tired office worker Yeom Mi Jeong, she actively gained weight, her face became fuller and softer, showing the image of a normal person eroded by life in a realistic way, and was praised by the audience for her acting.
In 2024, when participating in "Queen of Tears", with the role of the female heir to the tycoon Hong Hae In, to suit her cold temperament, plus the character's serious illness later, Kim Ji Won began to strictly control her weight.
It is estimated that during this period she lost about 8kg, transforming from a somewhat sweet image to a cold, luxurious demeanor of the wealthy.
