Claudia Kim Makes Bold Transformation In New Drama “The Atypical Family”

Apr 15, 2024

JTBC’s new weekend drama “The Atypical Family” has unveiled new stills of Claudia Kim ahead of its premiere!

“The Atypical Family” tells the story of a supernatural family who lost their powers after suffering from very realistic problems. The drama is directed by Cho Hyun Tak of “SKY Castle” and penned by Joo Hwa Mi of “Marriage, Not Dating” and Kang Eun Kyung of “Dr. Romantic.”

The newly released stills capture Claudia Kim’s drastic transformation as she takes on the role of Bok Dong Hee, a former runway model who picked up weight after retirement. In one image, she is seen holding a large bag of snacks closer to her body, showing a stark contrast to another photo of her on the runway with chiseled abs, exuding irresistible charisma. After gaining weight, Bok Dong Hee even lost her ability to fly.

Claudi Kim, who underwent a complete transformation to fully embody the character, commented, “Bok Dong Hee is like a character someone looks up to. Although she has her inner conflicts and stress, she doesn’t compare herself to others but makes efforts to become a better person with her own confidence.”

Regarding her first-ever special makeup attempt, she further stated, “The process was more challenging than I thought. But after seeing how Bok Dong Hee is depicted in the scenes, I feel grateful as an actress that my character is enriched [through special makeup].”
