Song Ji Hyo to Release Her Own Cap Series with NBA

2014-03-18T13:08:00.000+08:00

Song Ji Hyo is often seen wearing a flat bill cap in “Running Man,” and now the actress will be releasing her own series this spring. Working with NBA, the actress will release her own cap series called “CHO.2” in a collaboration called, “NBA X Song Ji Hyo.” Known for creating basketball merchandise, NBA’s collaboration with Song Ji Hyo brings about a different style than the usual sports affiliated look. The “CHO.2” was seen on the recent episode of “Running Man” when the actress wore the cap while in Australia.

“CHO.2” stands for two Chinese characters that sum up the actress’ motto “to never lose the original heart so that you will do everything.” The motto matches perfectly with the actress who is often seen trying new things and doing her best. As the actress has worn the cap on both “Running Man” and her tvN drama, “Emergency Couple,” the new cap has been garnering interest in potential buyers.

The “CHO.2” cap will soon be available for purchase online, as the cap series also plans to sell different styles of caps (HyFlat, Flippop, Military). Song Ji Hyo sure knows how to rock the cap look!
