In "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 21's latest episode titled "The Guy with Moves like Elvis," the challenge for the contestants was to perform a drama scene from Korean drama "Emergency Couple" alongside two of the drama's cast Yoon Jong Hoon and Clara, KpopStars reports.
"Emergency Couple" was a popular Korean drama which aired in tvN earlier this year and also starred Song Ji Hyo and Choi Jin Hyuk.
The contestants first watched scenes from the famous Korean series before they met the TV actors at the Namsan Tower. J. Alexander gave a brief introduction of the place, which is most famous for its love locks.
Each of the ANTM contestants filmed scenes showing them as foreigners who had set blind dates with the celebrity guests. The male models acted opposite Clara while the sole female model acted with Yoon Jong Hoon.
The most difficult part of the challenge was to memorize the script which was written in both English and Korean. Most of the models struggled with the Korean lines while other did the best to deliver.
According to Drama Fever, the dialogue included phrases such as:
"You're not Korean?"
"I thought you knew."
"I liked you after I read your first text."
"I think you like me."
In the end of the K-Drama challenge, Keith won the challenge as he impressed both Korean actors with his improvisation skills.
Later on in the episode, the contestants headed to Gangnam where they had a photo shoot inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.
"America's Next Top Model" features Seoul, South Korea as its international destination for this cycle. The reality model search show has already featured other Korean artists such as singer Jay Park and male idol group BtoB.
Female idol group 2NE1 will also be featured in one of the upcoming episodes of ANTM.
