The authors of Stellar Blade brought in another Korean model to create new costumes in the DLC
The dynamic slasher film Stellar Blade from the Korean studio Shift Up caused controversy even before its release due to the alleged excessive sexualization of female characters. The developers admitted that they were inspired by the beauty of the female body, creating the main character based on the figure of the popular Korean model Shin Jae-yun. However, when the noise around the project began to subside, the authors again surprised both gamers and critics. To create outfits for the upcoming DLC, they decided to invite another famous Korean model.
As it became known, Yoon Seol Hwa, known under the pseudonyms pinup_girl_xx and dutlstnwjd, participated in the development of the free expansion for Stellar Blade. She specializes in creating erotic images and is one of the leading figures in the Korean cosplay scene. This choice of partner seems to be a kind of response from the developers to activist criticism from Sweet Baby Inc.
It became known about her participation in the development of the DLC after the publication of Yoon Seol Hwa herself. On her social networks, she noted that she had long dreamed of working in the gaming industry, as she has been interested in video games since childhood. She was honored to collaborate with Shift Up on an expansion for the game. The model was used to scan the body, which helped create detailed and realistic costumes for the main character.
