Stellar Blade’s protagonist, Eve, was based on the South Korean model Shin Jae-eun. When Game Director Hyung-Tae Kim officially confirmed fan suspicions in an interview with Push Square, where the developer explained the reasoning behind the move. 

“We thought that [Shin Jae-eun’s] body shape would be a good reference for the character that we were pursuing. But the face was created originally in-house – it’s just the body of the model that we scanned for the game.”

Since Stellar Blade was announced, there has been a lot of discourse surrounding Eve’s design with people both praising and criticizing the character’s proportions. However, Kim believes this comes down to “how you define beautiful bodies.” 

The director then went on to say the follwing: “We wanted to come up with the most attractive-looking body for the user, so this is why we made the decision to work with her.”

To further prove that Eve is modeled after a real-life model, Shin Jae-eun even uploaded a video back in 2020 of the body capture shoot.
