THE MECCA OF GLOBAL BEAUTY,

THE UNITED STATES

IN THE MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN,

THE HEART OF AMERICA

THE FIRST K-GLOW BOUTIQUE

DANJANG

AND THE PEOPLE WHO WILL TRANSFORM NEW YORK

WITH THE K-GLOW

THE SIX K-BEAUTY MASTERS

AMIDST EXCITEMEN

AND NERVOUSNESS

THE FIRST DAY HAS BEGUN

OLD HOLLYWOOD

GLAM MAKEUP

DESPITE THE CLIENTS' UNEXPECTED REQUESTS

WITH THE K-GLOW MAGIC

THIS ADORABLE AND SHY GIRL BECAME

A K-HOLLYWOOD MADONNA

THIS ORDINARY STRAIGHT-HAIRED GIRL BECAME

A GLOWING K-GLAM GIRL

THIS TIRED MOM SURPRISED EVERYONE

WITH HER SHOCKING TRANSFORMATION

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE MY MOM?

MAGICAL MOMENTS WITH K-GLOW

AFTER SAYING GOODBYE TO THE LAST CLIEN

OF DANJANG'S FIRST DAY

-The kid

-She ran

EVERYONE'S SPECIAL FIRST DAY

CAME TO AN END

She's still shy.

Kids tend to be like that.

DAY ONE IS OVER

-She looked like a new person.

-Yes, exactly.

Anyway, good work, everyone.

APPLAUDING EACH OTHER FOR THEIR HARD WORK

-Good work.

-Let's do a group fist bump.

THE CHARISMATIC MANAGER

SUGGESTS A FIST BUMP

-DANJANG, DANJANG, glow up!

-DANJANG, DANJANG, glow up!

-Come here.

-It's still awkward.

-Gosh, my back.

-Leo,

try a piece of the chicken.

-We have chicken?

-Everyone's tried some, except you.

THE ARTISTS WERE TOO BUSY

WITH CLIENTS TO EAT ANYTHING

HIS EYES LIGHT UP

What is this?

I made it, but they didn't drink it.

IN AWE

-Isn't the chicken good?

-Yes.

CRUNCH

This sauce is good.

IT'S EVEN BETTER, AS IT'S MY FIRST MEAL

It was sad to see

no one had time to eat it.

TOO HUNGRY TO HEAR HIM

-We had no time at all.

-Not at all.

Let's eat something now.

What's this?

INTRIGUED

-Chicken sandwiches.

-We got sandwiches.

CHA HONG HEADS OU

WITH THE REMAINING SANDWICHES

Did I not eat?

CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER

I didn't have time.

Everyone's hair was

so different.

Everyone's a different ethnicity,

and everyone's head is a different shape.

DIVERSE HAIR TYPES AND HEAD SHAPES

This felt like a big mission.

Things were too hectic,

so I was just busy working away.

I rarely complain

about anything being hard.

But eating a meal felt like a luxury

that I couldn't afford.

Wow. Why would I eat?

I had so much to get done.

I was so worried that I had no appetite.

Let's think of a way to make sure

everyone can eat.

We'll find a way.

REVIEWING THE FIRST DAY

We can set the estimated time to one hour.

-For makeup?

-Yes.

The actual makeup part

-There are six clients tomorrow, right?

-Yes.

SIX CUSTOMERS TOMORROW,

DOUBLE WHAT THEY HAD TODAY

I don't think we can do it in an hour.

It takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes.

-For doing makeup?

-Yes.

THE GLOW UP TAKES LONGER THAN EXPECTED

Because of the final checkup.

How was it for you, Leo?

You had two clients.

It'll definitely be more tiring

with three clients.

I don't have enough time

to organize everything in between.

I want to clean up all the brushes

before welcoming the next client,

but I have to clean up

when the next client is already there.

You also didn't have any time

to eat anything along the way.

How long did the makeup take?

I couldn't even check the time.

-We didn't have time for it.

-I just rushed as fast as I could.

-As fast as possible.

-Do you know how long we took?

Usually, hair salons know

how long each procedure takes,

so we even calculate the out time

for each client.

That's something

that I should check, right?

There's usually a written checklist

that states

the arrival and departure times.

-You can check the times.

-I should write that up.

You can go ten minutes before

and tell them

when they have ten minutes left, too.

It'll be good to give us a heads-up

every 10 minutes in the last 30 minutes.

OKAY, I GOT IT!

It was just because it was the first day.

The artists were up and moving all day

without a single break.

We couldn't even keep track of time

in ten-minute intervals.

Pony couldn't eat at all on the first day.

That was my biggest concern.

CEO RA ANALYZED THE SHORTCOMINGS

FROM THE FIRST DAY

Shall we get going now?

-Everyone's changed, right?

-Yes.

AFTER THE CHAOTIC OPENING DAY

Good work, everyone.

-Good job.

-Everyone was really great.

You two were so good.

Thank you.

THE DANJANGS ARE GOING HOME

THE NEXT DAY

DAY 2, 7 A.M.

Hello. Oh, my!

JONG-HYUK IS MAKING BREAKFAST FOR EVERYONE

-We need to breakfast.

-Yes.

-Do you want some?

-Yes.

Do you want eggs or

THIS BREAKFAST IS SPECIAL

-Stuff yourself.

-What?

-You have to stuff yourself.

-Stuff myself? Right now?

-Okay, I'll have some ramyeon too.

-You have to eat now.

EATING RAMYEON FOR BREAKFAS

CHA HONG HAS JOINED HER

LEO IS ALSO EATING

It's good.

MANAGER PARK IS ALSO DEVOURING RAMYEON

YOU NEED CARBS FOR HEAVY LABOR

I was starving yesterday.

I was so hungry,

so now, I'm forcing myself

-to eat as much as I can.

-Same here.

We might not have time for lunch today.

We have to eat up now.

No, I'll make sure you have time to eat.

-Really?

-Yes, I'll call everyone over

and force you to eat.

-Even for 15 minutes.

-And make the clients wait?

Yes.

I'll make sure

everyone gets to eat lunch today.

CEO RA PROMISES THA

EVERYONE WILL GET A 15-MINUTE LUNCH!

-Sounds good.

-With 15 minutes,

-That's enough, right?

-we could even have dessert.

They'll come in 30-minute intervals?

WILL CEO RA KEEP HER PROMISE?

9:30 A.M.

EVERYONE ARRIVES AT DANJANG

DAY 2 OF GLOWING UP NEW YORK

THE DANJANG STAFF HAS ARRIVED AT WORK

Did you have a good night?

-We turned the lights off.

-It's cool inside.

-Let's have a good day, Manager.

-Yes, let's work hard.

Ta-da!

DANJANG

Please take your name tags.

DANJANG IS OPEN FOR DAY 2

and curling irons here.

-Where did you get the apron?

-Here.

OFFERING IT NONCHALANTLY

Thanks.

I'm going to tie it and fold it over.

-Good idea.

-That hides the straps.

This is the Hotel Management style.

#HOTEL MANAGEMENT MAJOR

That was how I was trained.

You didn't expect to use that skill here.

Not at all.

MANAGER PARK, IN CHARGE OF CLEANING

#SANITIZING MOMEN

NOT FORGETTING TO CLEAN THE BATHROOM

SPRAYING AWAY

CHA HONG APPROACHES MANAGER PARK

You brought it yourself.

Yes, this is for the staff.

I brought everything.

Can you hear me?

Very well.

KELLIE'S STORY

A FORMER GLOBAL K-POP TRAINEE

WHAT IF

I HAD BECOME A K-POP IDOL?

TALKING ABOUT HER FAVORITE STYLES

LEOJ, A MAKEUP MAGICIAN

LEO HAS BECOME A MAKE-GICIAN

HE'S CONFIDENT FOR A REASON

OF COURSE

A TASTE OF THE K-POP MASTERS' MAKEOVER

THIS IS WHERE

MAGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS HAPPEN

KELLIE'S BEAUTY WISH:

I WANT TO BECOME A K-POP IDOL

TIME TO EXPERIENCE A K-BEAUTY SALON

SO EXCITED TO SEE THE HALF-MOON CUSHION,

A MUST-HAVE AT EVERY K-BOUTIQUE

THE SPECIAL K-SALON SERVICES ARE CAUSING

A DOPAMINE RUSH

WITH THE ADDITION

OF CHA HONG'S SKILLFUL MASSAGE

I'M IN HEAVEN

AFTER THE REFRESHING SHAMPOO SESSION

THEY'RE ABOUT TO DRY HER HAIR

IN THE HAIR ZONE

Is it

Is it going to take a long time

to dry her hair?

Can we do her makeup first?

But we're supposed to do her hair first.

LEO SUGGESTS SWAPPING SLOTS TO SAVE TIME

I'd prefer if the makeup got done first.

I'd also prefer

if the makeup got done first.

Why is

CHECKING IN WITH CEO RA,

WHO PREPARED THE SCHEDULE

-Ms. Ra.

-Yes?

Can we do her makeup first?

Things will be a bit smoother

if we do the makeup first.

-For the first client?

-Yes.

-She's supposed to do her hair first,

-Yes.

-but you can do that.

-Can we?

-We'll do that, then.

-Okay.

-The first client, right?

-Yes.

CHANGING THE ORDER AS LEO WANTED

LITTLE DID THEY KNOW

THE HUGE CONSEQUENCES

You can dry her hair

while I do her skincare to save time.

I'll do that.

THIS SMALL CHANGE WOULD BRING

But the schedule says hair first

SHALL WE GET STARTED ON THE MAKEUP?

CONSULTATION

MAKEUP

IN THIS MAGICAL SPACE

WITH EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING

KELLIE'S TRANSFORMATION BEGINS NOW

This is a facial mask. It's really good.

And it's cooling.

LOWERING HER SKIN TEMPERATURE

USING TONER PADS

"Cooling," right?

-Yes, cooling.

-Cooling.

THE FIRST REACTION IN KOREAN

IN THIS MAKEUP ROOM

CASUALLY TALKING

ABOUT THE MYERS-BRIGGS TES

I SEE!

BUT WE'RE KEEPING IT QUIE

WHEN REMOVING THE TONER PADS

NOT FORGETTING TO BRUSH HER SKIN

WITH THE PADS

THE MAGICAL EFFECT OF THE K-BEAUTY PRODUC

MAKES HER WANT TO

WHOO

WHOO

WHOO

THREE PTEROSAURS SPOTTED

Our energy levels matched well.

I'm really thankful for her.

I'm a huge extrovert,

and I've been suppressing

my extroverted energy all day

while working with the team.

I didn't want to be over-the-top.

SO CALM

But with her, we were like, "Slay!"

I was so happy.

HE RETURNED TO HIS OLD SELF

ALONGSIDE SOMEONE WHO MATCHED HIS VIBE

TWO ENERGIZERS HAVE ME

BUT HE'S QUIET WHEN FOCUSED

CURLING HER LASHES WITH A CURLER FIRS

LET'S KEEP IT UP AND START THE BASE

THE MASTER PUTS HIS CARE INTO EVERYTHING,

EVEN WITH THE CONCEALER SHADE

APPLYING A THIN LAYER

OF THE BLENDED CONCEALER WITH A BRUSH

ABSORBING IT INTO HER SKIN USING A PUFF

K-GLOW TIP:

COVER SMALL SPOTS WITH CONCEALER FIRS

THEN USE A CUSHION FOUNDATION

FOR A NATURAL FINISH

PINK PERSON

SINGING

IN LOVE WITH THE LOOK

WORKING ON THE LASHES LAS

LOOKING SO CAREFULLY

K-pop idols have all sorts of styles now,

but long, individual lashes are essential

to all K-pop idol looks.

INDIVIDUAL FALSIES

TO ACCENTUATE EVERY LASH

PONY'S EYE MAKEUP IS ALSO KNOWN

FOR THE INDIVIDUAL LASHES

I knew I had to make her eyes sparkle,

like a K-pop idol's eyes.

LASHES TO MAKE HER LOOK LIKE A K-POP IDOL

SCANNING KELLIE'S FACE CAREFULLY

BEFORE STARTING

I don't think she needs it.

LONG, INDIVIDUAL LASHES WITHOUT FALSIES?

I think we can use mascara and tweezers.

Let's try that.

BRAVELY STARTING OFF

That'll be better, right?

UNSURE OF HIMSELF

-She already has natural, full lashes.

-Exactly.

-We won't need too many falsies.

-That might create a shadow.

MIN-YOUNG AGREES KELLIE'S LASHES

ARE ALREADY TOO FULL FOR FALSIES

TRYING WITH JUST MASCARA FIRS

USING TWEEZERS ON HER LASHES?

WOW

LEO IS USING TWEEZERS

TO CLUMP THE LASHES TOGETHER

The inspiration came

from my practicing the K-pop idol makeup

on foreign models in Korea

before coming here.

That taught me

foreigners don't need individual falsies

A K-BEAUTY TIP HE LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE

as their natural lashes

are already long and full.

Pinching them with tweezers is enough.

PLACING EVERY LASH CORRECTLY WITH TWEEZERS

K-POP IDOL LASHES WITHOUT FALSIES

JUST LIKE THA

HE'S ALMOST DONE WITH HER MAKEUP

Doesn't she look stunning?

ONCE HER HAIR IS DONE

It's a real K-pop idol style.

SHE'S READY FOR HER FRIEND

WHO'S BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME

TIME TO SHOW HER BIG TRANSFORMATION

Goodness. Poor Grace.

Why?

She's ditching Grace

and going on a date with her boyfriend.

AN UNNECESSARY TRANSLATION

OH MY GOD

BETRAYED

She's coming.

Here she comes.

JUST THEN, A BEAUTIFUL,

CAPTIVATING SILHOUETTE

KELLIE, THE FORMER K-POP TRAINEE

IT'S TIME FOR HER

TO EXPERIENCE HER UNLIVED DREAM

IMAGINING HER LONG-FORGOTTEN DREAM

THROUGH THE MAKEOVER

HER SENSITIVE AND ACNE-PRONE SKIN

IS PERFECTLY COVERED

WITH CONCEALER AND CUSHION FOUNDATION

STARTING FROM K-POP IDOL LASHES,

CAREFULLY CRAFTED USING TWEEZERS

This is the highlight.

TO K-POP HAIRSTYLE'S SIGNATURE BABY HAIRS

I took it back to retro.

It's a real K-pop idol style.

KELLIE HAS BECOME A K-POP IDOL

WOW

TEAM DANJANG CREATED

AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION

It's a real K-pop idol style.

Seriously, she's stunning.

She's Korean.

She can speak Korean.

CONSULTATION

RACHEL KIM IS A MODEL

HALF-AMERICAN AND HALF-KOREAN

SO EXCITED

ONE OF NEW YORK'S FEW

KOREAN PLUS-SIZED MODELS

NEW YORK, THE CITY OF DIVERSITY

HERE, SHE CONFIDENTLY SHINES

WITH HER OWN UNIQUE BEAUTY

RACHEL'S BEAUTY WISH:

A KOREAN-STYLE MAKEUP LOOK THAT SUITS HER

CAN SHE FIND HER OWN K-GLOW

INSTEAD OF THE HEAVY AMERICAN MAKEUP LOOK?

WASHING HER FACE BEFORE SHAMPOOING

She'll wash her face

before shampooing, right?

-Yes.

-Okay.

Let's get her a headband.

I have one.

Like this?

A VERY BOLD IDEA FROM JONG-HYUK

STOPPED BY CHA HONG

WHILE RACHEL WASHES HER FACE

JONG-HYUK PREPARES

FOR HIS SECOND SHAMPOO SESSION

GOING OVER THE PROPER ORDER

RACHEL IS DONE WASHING HER FACE

She looks so different.

AN INNOCENT FACE UNDER THE STRONG MAKEUP

ALL READY FOR SHAMPOOING

We'll put a facial mask on you first.

I can't leave any bubbles.

It must be perfect.

UNFAMILIAR SPECIAL TREATMEN

FROM A K-BEAUTY SALON

-There. Good luck.

-Okay.

STARTING THE SHAMPOO SESSION

WITH THE MASK ON

FINDING THE OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE

I'm fine.

DRYING HER HAIR BEFORE DOING MAKEUP

We always use two blow dryers.

1 CUSTOMER, 2 BLOW DRYERS

REDUCING THE DRYING TIME

WITH A STRONG BLAST OF AIR

-Doesn't it add so much volume?

-Yes.

AFTER THE QUICK DRYING SESSION

MAKEUP

CURIOUS

I guess you did well.

CRYING

GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR

THE BABY FACE IS BACK

NOW THAT THE MASK IS OFF

MIN-YOUNG AND MI-RAN ARE HERE

TO SEE THE BABY FACE

She really has a baby face.

-She's so cute.

-Like a baby.

EVERYONE AGREES SHE HAS A BABY FACE

Please make her look like a baby.

-Okay.

-Like a newborn.

I'll make her look very lovely.

-I think a bright look would be good.

-Yes, bright.

GOING FOR A YOUTHFUL K-MAKEUP LOOK TODAY

SHE WANTS TO DITCH THE AMERICAN LOOK

AND GET A YOUTHFUL KOREAN LOOK

LIGHTLY DABBING ON SOME BASE MAKEUP

That's good.

HER SKIN ALREADY LOOKS SO YOUNG

AFTER THE BASE MAKEUP

Really?

NOT FORGETTING TO COLOR CORREC

UNDER THE EYES

RACHEL HAS A SPECIAL DINNER WITH MOM

NOW, THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

KNOW EACH OTHER BES

MEANWHILE, HER MOM IS WAITING

FOR HER DAUGHTER TO COME OU

Rachel looks

like such a baby without makeup.

-She looks like a baby, right?

-Yes, she does.

-She has a total baby face.

-Yes, she does.

-She's very cute.

-Yes.

-She has the body of an adult.

-Her skin is so nice too.

IMMEDIATELY SMILING

AT THE THOUGHT OF HER DAUGHTER

It was so nice to raise her in the US.

We moved to the US

when she was ten months old.

Did you give birth to her here?

No, I gave birth in Korea.

In Korea?

She was born in Chuncheon,

so she always calls herself

"a Chuncheon baby."

A Chuncheon baby.

She still travels with you.

THEIR CLOSE RELATIONSHIP IS ADORABLE

That's rare.

She's still a baby.

She's so precious.

Being with her cleanses my heart.

-She's cute.

-The way she says, "Mom."

TO A MOTHER,

HER DAUGHTER IS FOREVER A BABY

DANJANG

PONY IS OFF TO CHECK THE SCHEDULE

DOOR SLIDING OPEN

A CASUALLY DRESSED GUEST HAS APPEARED

Welcome.

Cynthia?

THE THIRD CLIENT, CYNTHIA GRAY

CYNTHIA GREETS THEM WITH A BIG SMILE

Cynthia, where are you going?

Right into the room?

Cynthia.

PUTTING ON HER GOWN

IN THE CONSULTATION ROOM

A SUDDEN HUG FROM BEHIND

THE CONSULTATION BEGINS

SHE'S CONCERNED ABOUT HER ACNE

CONTINUING A SERIOUS CONSULTATION SESSION

ABOUT THE CHANGES NEEDED WITH MIN-YOUNG

HOW WILL CYNTHIA LOOK

AFTER THE DANJANG TRANSFORMATION?

HAIR

SLIGHTLY NERVOUS

A DARK SHADOW QUIETLY APPROACHES THEM

Are you getting right to it?

Yes, both makeup artists are busy.

Wouldn't it be better to wait?

MOMENTARILY PAUSING CYNTHIA'S STYLING?

We should do that.

-Wait?

-Yes.

THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE

CYNTHIA IS SCANNING THE K-BEAUTY

EXPERIENCE ZONE FOR SOME REASON

Cynthia.

Did I mess things up

by preparing the schedule incorrectly?

What went wrong to cause this?

WHY DO THEY HAVE A CLIENT WAITING?

How did this happen?

WHEN THE FIRST CLIENT ARRIVED

Can we do her makeup first?

I'd prefer if the makeup got done first.

CHA HONG GLADLY AGREED

WITH LEO'S SUGGESTION

LEO SUGGESTED THE SCHEDULE CHANGE

-For the first client?

-Yes.

-She's supposed to do her hair first,

-Yes.

-but you can do that.

-Can we?

CEO RA TOOK THAT SUGGESTION TOO QUICKLY

SO THE SCHEDULE CHANGED

LEAVING CHA HONG'S SCHEDULE TO OVERLAP

RACHEL'S CONSULTATION

WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED IN TEN MINUTES

BUT MIN-YOUNG WORKED TOO HARD,

GOING WELL OVER TIME

AND WHILE PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE,

THE SHAMPOOING ALSO TOOK TOO LONG

EVERYONE'S MISTAKES

CAUSED A BUTTERFLY EFFEC

LEAVING CYNTHIA, THE THIRD CLIENT,

WITH NO OPTION BUT TO WAI

EVERYONE WORKED TOO HARD

THAT IT CAUSED A DELAY

WORKS AS BOTH AN ACTOR AND A WRITER

FEELING SO BAD FOR THE LONG WAI

CYNTHIA IS THE ONE REASSURING JONG-HYUK

JUST LIKE THAT, JONG-HYUK LEAVES

AND CYNTHIA IS BACK TO CHECKING OU

THE K-BEAUTY EXPERIENCE ZONE

EVEN CHECKING HER SKIN CONDITION

ENJOYING THE ZONE WITHOUT A CARE

JONG-HYUK IS SCURRYING

CHECKING FOR A PROGRESS UPDATE

Her hair? No.

We'll do her hair while I work on her.

-Yes.

-Hold on.

You'll have to head there.

-Okay, I will.

-Thank you.

ENTERING PONY'S ROOM WITH POSITIVITY

DOING RACHEL'S HAIR AND MAKEUP

AT THE SAME TIME

She looks so pretty.

RACHEL IS SLOWLY TRANSFORMING

IN THE TWO EXPERTS' HANDS

She looks so young.

That's stunning.

She looks so pretty and youthful.

She's really a brand-new person.

She's a new person.

HOW WILL SHE LOOK

WITH A KOREAN MAKEUP LOOK?

-Okay, let's go.

-Okay.

HER GLOWING MOMEN

SO EXCITED AND CURIOUS

HOW WILL THE NEW RACHEL SURPRISE HER MOM?

This is so nerve-racking!

GASP

RACHEL'S TRANSFORMATION

MADE HER MOM'S JAW DROP

HOW DOES RACHEL LOOK NOW?

She's beautiful.

A LADY-LIKE WALK

AND A BRIGHT SMILE

INSTEAD OF A BOLD MAKEUP LOOK

IS A FRESH, YOUTHFUL LOOK

THAT SUITS HER PERFECTLY

I was wondering

if you always had a side part.

THE SIDE PART MAKES FACES LOOK CHUBBY

A MIDDLE PART CAN MAKE A FACE LOOK SLIMMER

WITH LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR

TO NATURALLY EMBRACE THE FACE

HER IMAGE IS SOFTER AND MORE FEMININE

-Where are you going?

-Where are you going?

EVERYONE AGREES SHE'S BEAUTIFUL

Doesn't the makeup

look so fresh and clean?

She looks so pretty!

Isn't my daughter beautiful?

-She looks so different from earlier.

-So different.

I'm officially a Korean woman.

Yes, officially a Korean woman.

-Officially.

-Officially.

-Thank you.

-Nice meeting you.

-Goodbye.

-Have a good day.

RACHEL IS HAPPILY LEAVING DANJANG

WITH A NEW LOOK THAT SHE LOVES

She can come in right away.

GASP

THIS WAY, PLEASE

FINALLY CYNTHIA'S TURN AFTER THE LONG WAI

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

It's fine.

FINALLY ENTERING THE MAKEUP ROOM

Is it a bit hot in here?

This got unplugged.

CEO RA IS CHECKING ON THE FAN

LIKE A MOTHER WOULD

This is

EXTRA EXCITED FOR HER TRANSFORMATION

AFTER THE LONG WAI

CYNTHIA'S MAKEUP ARTIST PONY HAS ARRIVED

MIN-YOUNG IS ALSO HERE TO APOLOGIZE

WHAT SORT OF LOOK

DOES THIS GENEROUS LADY WANT?

AMAZED

A TRUE K-POP FAN

WHO EVEN LEARNS THE DANCES

Really? Today?

PANICKING

You're filming tonight?

PEOPLE DANCE ALL THE TIME AT TIMES SQUARE

AT LEAST SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE

WATCH THESE PERFORMANCES

TODAY IS THE K-POP FAN'S DEBU

IN TIMES SQUARE

Today?

THAT DAY IS TODAY

Hold on. You're filming today?

ALREADY DANCING

This is a big deal.

Focus.

FOR THE BIGGEST K-POP FAN

It's a big day for you today.

All right.

I'll make you look so good. Trust me.

CYNTHIA'S BEAUTY WISH: K-POP IDOL

STAGE MAKEUP FOR HER DANCE COVER

HOW WILL CYNTHIA TRANSFORM?

BUT PONY HAS A QUESTION FIRST?!

How much do you sweat? A lot?

NATURALLY,

SHE TENDS TO SWEAT A LOT WHEN DANCING

Okay, then.

SHE NODS AND SCANS HER MAKEUP STATION

PONY IS HOLDING MAGIC LER

Usually, K-pop idols use it.

Do you know the Waterbomb Festival?

NODDING

-They use this.

-That

-Really?

-Yeah.

AT LAST, HER QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED

THE MAGIC ITEM TO KEEP HER MAKEUP FRESH

THROUGH THE WHOLE sh**t!

FOR A MAKEUP LOOK

THAT WON'T SMUDGE FROM SWEA

It helps the makeup last long.

EVENLY DISTRIBUTING THE PRODUC

ON THE BROWS

HER WATERPROOF BROWS ARE READY

PONY IS CHECKING THE MIRROR AS SHE GOES

SHE SEEMS TO HAVE A DILEMMA

It was hard to think

of a look for her at first.

As with all kind people,

she said she was fine with anything.

She told me it was fine

for me to do whatever I wanted.

She said she was open to anything.

SO IT WAS HARD TO KNOW

WHAT STYLE SHE WANTED

I was like, "What do I use?"

I was thinking of a peachy look.

BASED ON HER INSPO PHOTOS

A totally fierce look.

She only showed me photos

of these fierce, badass K-pop idols.

Then I totally knew what to do.

THEN PONY'S CHOICE IS

EVERYONE KNOWS PONY IS A GLAM MASTER

TIME FOR HER SKILLS TO SHINE

APPLYING PRIMER ON HER EYES

FOR LONG-LASTING MAKEUP

BOLD UNDERLINE EYELINER

DON'T WORRY

PONY'S ULTIMATE WEAPON, GLITTER

GLITTER, A MUST FOR THE ENDING POSE

DAB DAB

It's beautiful.

GLITTER IS THE BEST FOR STANDING OU

She's filming in Times Square.

It'll look good.

She's filming a dance cover.

SHE RESEMBLES ANNE HATHAWAY

AFTER THE MAKEUP

She really looks like her with makeup.

-Just like her, right?

-Yes, completely.

CYNTHIA, A TRUE K-POP FAN OF 14 YEARS

HOW WILL SHE LOOK

AFTER TRANSFORMING INTO A K-POP IDOL?

STAY TUNED

FOR CYNTHIA'S DAZZLING TRANSFORMATION

I'd better film this.

This is Cynthia's phone.

CEO RA IS FILMING HER SINCE SHE CAME ALONE

THE DANJANGS HAVE GATHERED

TO SEE THE MAKEOVER REVEAL

-It's so awkward without music.

-I know.

-We can add it later.

-Right. We're missing music.

THE MUSIC IS ON, AND CYNTHIA IS OU

CYNTHIA APPEARS AMIDST EVERYONE'S CHEERS

-Anne Hathaway!

-So pretty.

You look like a doll!

MI-RAN'S CAMERA

She's even more stunning in that outfit.

It's a red carpet moment.

-Can I have your autograph?

-She pulls this look off so well.

SUDDENLY BECOMING HER NUMBER ONE FAN

CYNTHIA LOOKS LIKE A NEW PERSON

She looks stunning.

A PERFECT GLOW UP

FROM A K-POP IDOL FAN OF 14 YEARS

TO A K-POP IDOL

You know that French chic wavy hair

that looks a bit messy?

I combined that with see-through bangs

that are popular in Korea now.

She looks stunning.

For sure.

WITH BOLD EYE MAKEUP

TO ACCENTUATE THE EYES

THAT NIGHT, IN TIMES SQUARE

SHE CHANGED SO MUCH,

SHE DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HERSELF

SHE WAS REBORN AS A NEW PERSON

JUST LIKE THAT, CYNTHIA LEAVES THE SALON

Did you have lunch? You have to eat.

-Let's eat.

-Please eat, everyone.

AFTER THE FIRST CLIENT,

LEO IS OFF TO HAVE LUNCH

LEO IS FINALLY EATING

Shall I eat now?

You must've been starving.

-Sit there and eat. The view is nice.

-Here?

Yes, sit by the window.

Stretch your legs and sit.

-You'll look like a New Yorker.

-Really?

Thanks for lunch.

By the way, the meat is a bit tough.

Really?

LEAVING AFTER SHARING A TIP

SITTING BY THE WINDOW IN THE PANTRY

Can you get Jong-hyuk here?

Jong-hyuk.

Yes?

ONE JONG-HYUK IS ON THE WAY

Do you need help?

No, keep eating.

-Keep eating.

-I was told you needed help.

Min-young asked you to make the drinks.

What do I need to make?

Lemon honey green tea

And a yogurt drink for the girl.

EMBARRASSED

CONSULTATION

CATHERINE'S CONCERN IS HYPERPIGMENTATION

LEO HAS ENTERED

WHAT STYLE DOES CATHERINE WANT?

A BLEND OF NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA!

SLIGHTLY CONFUSED

FLASHY BUT NATURAL?

CHEERING

CATHERINE'S BEAUTY WISH:

A NATURAL BUT GLAMOROUS LOOK

HOW WILL THIS NEW YORK MOM TRANSFORM

IN SEARCH OF HER K-GLOW?

MOMMY?

HER HUSBAND IS GRINNING

THAT'S NOT MY DADDY

MAKEUP

STARTING WITH A FACIAL MASK

PUTTING ON THE K-GEL MASK

Have you ever tried

this kind of facial mask?

CAREFULLY PUTTING ON THE BOTTOM HALF

QUICKLY HEADING TO THE MAKEUP ROOM

AFTER APPLYING THE SHEET MASK

GETTING A HANDFUL OF THINGS

WHY IS HE SUDDENLY

PUTTING FOUNDATION ON HIS HAND?

RUBBING QUICKLY

CHECKING THE COLOR

EYES SHAKING IN PANIC

Oh, no.

Is this the right shade?

When I heard she was coming,

I was incredibly nervous.

Because I rarely have the opportunity

to do makeup on Black people.

I was so worried

I wouldn't make her look good.

That was my concern.

I was worried.

FACING A HURDLE

LAST NIGH

She's Regina.

-Regina.

-And Catherine.

I really need to do a good job on her.

-Her skin color is so different.

-You know the last client we took?

I need to do a good job on Catherine.

Goodness.

HE WAS SO WORRIED

HE STUDIED ALL NIGH

CAN I, A KOREAN ARTIST, DO A GOOD JOB?

Is this the right shade?

TA-DA

WORRIED BUT GREETING HER CHEERFULLY

TIME TO PREPARE THE MAKEUP

HE WORRIED ABOUT EVEN IN HIS DREAMS

HESITAN

MIXING COLORS THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR TO HIM

FIRS

HE'S ADDING COLORS

TO HIS PALETTE

NERVOUS

From choosing the foundation color

to mixing the colors to find

the right shade on the spot,

I was so worried

about matching her skin tone.

WILL LEO MATCH HER SKIN TONE WELL?

HE'S CAREFULLY MIXING

THE UNFAMILIAR COLORS

FOCUSED

CAREFULLY BRUSHING SOME PRODUC

ON HER FACE

IT'S GOING WELL, RIGHT?

PEEKING

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE HE'S NERVOUS

BUT IT'S SILENT IN HERE

LET'S ADD SOME MUSIC

THOROUGHLY COVERING HER DARK CIRCLES

ADDING A BRIGHTER SHADE

AROUND THE CENTER OF HER FACE

SHAKING

LASTLY, BRIGHTENING HER NOSE BRIDGE

CEO RA HAS ENTERED AT THE PERFECT TIME

IS HE DOING A GOOD JOB?

CHECKING HER FACE

HER SKIN LOOKS SMOOTHER AND BRIGHTER

I think I got the skin tone right.

-I was worried.

-She doesn't look different.

-The foundation is perfect for her.

-Totally.

PEOPLE WHO WORRY TOO MUCH ALWAYS DO WELL

I hope Lisa can stay patient.

She's been very good so far.

NEXT, THE EYE MAKEUP

BLUE EYESHADOW?

Theoretically speaking, with eyeshadow,

you must choose colors

that match the outfit.

We don't always have to match

the outfit's colors,

but it's important to use colors

that complement it.

That's why we always see the outfit first.

I saw her outfit,

which was a beautiful blue dress.

I just knew

blue eyeshadow would be perfect.

I knew blue-on-blue would look amazing.

FINISHING THE OTHER EYE WITH BLUE TOO

SATISFIED

LOVING I

THE EYESHADOW SHINES BRIGHTLY BUT SUBTLY

THE PERFECT MIX OF NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA

THAT CATHERINE WANTED

THANKS TO LEO, I NOW KNOW MY BEST COLOR

NEXT, THE LASHES

A BIG BAG OF FALSIES

LIGHTWEIGHT FALSIES

SECOND TRY WITH HEAVIER LASHES

THE SECOND ATTEMPT ALSO FAILS

NOT TOO LIGHT BUT NOT TOO HEAVY?

The biggest challenge was

that she requested a look

that wasn't too glam.

She said she loved a natural look,

and she didn't want too much glam.

She wanted a middle glam.

She wanted a natural-but-glam look.

But she also said she liked natural looks.

I didn't know what to go with.

I didn't know exactly

what level of glam she wanted.

That was so hard.

FLUSTERED

RUN

Pony, I need to borrow your falsies.

PONY TO THE RESCUE

I should try this.

Are they different models?

They're both 04.

I'll try this.

-These two are the same, Leo.

-Okay.

-Oh, not this.

-Check the number.

FEELING RUSHED

Don't take 04.

You took 10 and 04.

RETURNING WITH FALSIES FROM PONY

THIRD TRY WITH MIDDLE-GLAM LASHES

FROM PONY

WILL SHE LIKE IT THIS TIME?

I tried hard not to go full-out

and prepared more natural lashes.

They're from Korea,

so they're full in volume but very light.

They feel comfortable

but look long enough.

Those lashes looked so natural,

but deepened her eyes.

SMILING BRIGHTLY

GLOWING UP WITH K-FALSIES

WHILE HER MAKEUP

IS GETTING CLOSER TO BEING DONE

HOW'S LISA DOING WITH WAITING FOR HER MOM?

LOOKING IN HER MOM'S DIRECTION

ONLY WAITING FOR HER MOM

FORCING IT TO SLEEP

I WANT TO SLEEP TOO

MOMMY WILL BE OU

BY THE TIME I WAKE UP, RIGHT?

MEANWHILE, MOMMY IS ALMOST DONE

WITH HER HAIR

It's wavy.

ROCKING THE K-WAVY HAIR

-Yes, just slightly.

-Very loose curls.

I'm worried Lisa will cry.

-Oh, I see.

-Remember yesterday?

-The baby?

-Yes, yesterday.

GIVE ME MY MOM BACK

JUST THE DAY BEFORE

AFTER NEW YORK MOM MARYKATE'S MAKEOVER

HER DAUGHTER, GOLDIE

SHE SAW HER TRANSFORMED MOM

AND RAN AWAY, SURPRISED

MARYKATE WAS ALSO SHOCKED

SHE STARTED TEARING UP

TURNING AWAY

SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE

HER MOM'S TRANSFORMATION

LAUGHING

I'm sure Lisa won't be like that.

Yes.

LISA'S REACTION IS COMING SOON

-She's coming.

-Here she comes.

IT WAS HARD TO READ HER MIND

DID THEY GET IT RIGHT WITH THE K-GLOW?

THE PERFECT GLOW

FOR A NEW YORK MOM WHO WANTED A CHANGE

HER BLEMISHES ALWAYS BOTHERED HER

BUT ALL WAS COVERED,

LEAVING SMOOTH AND RADIANT SKIN

HER SHORT EYELASHES BECAME

NATURAL YET GLAMOROUS WITH K-FALSIES

THEN THEY ADDED LIGHT K-WAVES TO HER HAIR

AN ORDINARY NEW YORK MOM'S K-GLOW UP

SMILING BRIGHTLY

RUNNING TO HER

RUNNING RIGHT TO MOMMY

GIGGLING

What a relief.

It's such a relief.

GIGGLING

A K-BEAUTY PRODUCT PACKAGE

AND A TRADITIONAL FAN

BROUGHT BY MIN-YOUNG HERSELF

THE K-GLOW UP ENDED

WITH A VERY HAPPY FAMILY

Thank you.

-Bye. Thank you.

-Goodbye.

-Lisa didn't cry once.

-No.

-What a good girl.

-For sure.
