A bevy of stars descended upon Robertson Quay and the STPI on Thursday evening (November 14) for the opening of Cartier'southward Clash de Cartier Studio popular-upwardly. South Korean actor-singer Ji Chang-wook headlined the evening, while homegrown celebrities Rebecca Lim, Rui En, Sheila Sim lent further stardust.
Likewise in attendance were fashion influencers Yoyo Cao and Arissa Cheo; siblings Irfan Fandi and Iman Fandi; also as homegrown musical talents Charlie Lim and Jasmine Sokko, fresh from her Best Southeast Asia Act win at the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards.
With the theme of the evening being all about clashing attitudes, duality and rebellion – later on all, the Clash de Cartier drove features punk-influenced designs – nosotros were curious about how the celebrities interpreted the concept.
For Chang-wook, who is both an role player and a vocalizer, there is a very distinct division between his roles. "As an player, I'm more focused on my work. Equally a singer, I relish myself more. If at that place'due south a fun project that I tin bask doing, I'll exercise it. I'chiliad more serious almost my career as an player," he told CNA Luxury through an interpreter.
Chang-wook stars in the ongoing Korean fantasy rom-com Melting Me Softly aslope Won Jin-ah and Yoon Se-ah. The show's premise revolves around variety show producer Ma Dong Chan (played by Chang-wook) and office-time employee Go Mi Ran (Jin-ah), who, in 1999, participate in an experiment to be frozen for a day. But due to mysterious circumstances, they only get thawed in 2019.
The 32-year-old'southward biggest claim to fame was his atomic number 82 role in the action thriller Healer (2014), for which he won the Popularity Award and Best Couple Award (with Park Min-Young) at the 2022 KBS Drama Awards, and Most Popular Overseas Player at the 2022 Prc TV Drama Awards.
The babyfaced star has since appeared in many highly-rated productions, including Korea'south The K2 (2016) and Suspicious Partner (2017), besides as Communist china's Cyclone Girl 2 (2016). Chang-wook also had cameos in a number of music videos, and has lent his vocals to the soundtracks of several of his dramas. To date, he has released eight singles, besides as a Mandarin EP, Be With You (2016).
Asked whether he has two sides to his personality, and whether he's the same person in public as in private, Chang-wook replied: "Personally, I'chiliad shy. Merely when I'm working, I can't really be shy. So, I'm really trying very hard not to be too shy!"
It'south a feeling that Rui En tin can sympathise with. "I tend to be kind of chor lor [crude around the edges], unglam, awkward and clumsy in private. When I'm at an event like this, I've got to rein that in!" she shared. "I find that I accept infinite sides to my personality. I tin be a rather complicated person, and the Clash de Cartier drove reflects that."
Citing Avril Lavigne as a major influence on her teenage sensibilities, Rui En shared about going through a punk phase in her teens. "I fancied myself an emo punk rocker. I [had] all the studs and chains. This jewellery is a grown-upwards, more than expensive version of that!"

Being a teenage rebel was out of the question for Rebecca, who grew up with strict parents. "[I grew] up in a very traditional family unit with very strict parents – who gave [me] a curfew all the way till [I was] 21 – even now, if I'm out till 3am, I'll get missed calls from my mum asking where I am.
"Growing up in that environs, you accept a lot of rules that y'all abide by, like not starting a meal until anybody is seated at the table, or greeting everyone you lot see along the way. It doesn't matter who they are, or whatsoever position they hold."
She let on that she has "more than two sides" to her personality, and reveals these facets depending on the company she's with, the state of affairs she's in, and how she's feeling that day. Just all things said and washed, Rebecca is proud of the fact that her "core" personality – her respectful, police force-constant nature – has remained the same throughout the years.

For Sheila Sim, a duality definitely exists between her public persona and her personal life. "I'chiliad a Gemini, so my horoscope already has two sides. What people encounter in me is someone confident, merely there's another side of me that's really quiet and demure… okay, maybe not demure! Only placidity and sometimes insecure. But I call up that's really every human. It's almost embracing the two sides and balancing the yin and yang."
Meanwhile, the actress is continually discovering herself. "My married man sometimes sees 10 different sides of me… in an hour. I really savour it! I feel similar sometimes there'southward a function of me I don't even know exists. [I sometimes accept] sudden confidence or sudden knowledge and wisdom… and I'm similar, 'who is that person?'! I retrieve that'southward growth. I'chiliad all the same exploring the different sides of me. And it'southward been quite fun."
