Actor Lee Min-jung just shocked fans by trying a bold gyaru makeover. She even joked that she would show up to a couples meetup with her husband, Lee Byung-hun, while still in full gyaru glam, cracking everyone up.
On May 6, Lee Min-jung uploaded a video on her YouTube channel documenting her attempt at Japanese-style gyaru makeup with beauty creator Sine. Under Sine's brush, Lee went all-in with heavy eye makeup, dramatic contouring, and a blonde wig, transforming into a look completely different from her usual elegant, refined image.
Once the makeover was complete, the room erupted in surprise. Channeling an anime-like visual, Lee gave off a totally different vibe and showed a side of her charm fans rarely see.
Mid-shoot, she mentioned a scheduled plan, saying, "I'm meeting my husband and his friends," which left everyone stunned. When the crew and Sine asked, "Are you really going like this?" Lee stayed cool: "They're close friends, so it's fine." She added with her signature chill attitude, "It's not that they'll feel uncomfortable — I'll be the one who feels awkward."
Lee stayed in full gyaru character to the end. Still in makeup, she ate cup ramen at a convenience store and joked, "I should pretend I'm not Korean right now," doubling down on the bit and making everyone laugh. But later she cracked, "I don't think I can go to the dinner like this," sending the room into laughter again.
After filming wrapped, Lee admitted, "Gyaru makeup takes more commitment than I expected," sharing her honest thoughts. After the video dropped, fans reacted with comments like, "I'm curious how Lee Byung-hun reacted," and "With gyaru makeup, she looks like a completely different person," proving just how much buzz the transformation created.
