Chuu just stunned fans with a flawless transformation into Pikachu, the beloved character from Japan's mega-hit IP 'Pokémon'.

On the 1st, makeup artist LeoJ posted several photos on social media with the caption, "I'm LeoJ. And this is the million-volt Pikachu."

The photos show Chuu styled with Pikachu-inspired details — a lemon-yellow tube-top dress, hair color and styling reminiscent of Pikachu's tail, and lightning-shaped accessories — perfectly channeling the character.

LeoJ explained it was "a self-planned and produced beauty pictorial to commemorate Pokémon's 30th anniversary" and "a pure homage piece that reinterprets the Pokémon IP."

Chuu herself chimed in under the post with "Pika Pika," showing her excitement. Fans raved, leaving comments like "Total Pikachu," "Hair, makeup, and styling are spot-on," and "The very definition of a human Pikachu."

Chuu debuted in 2017 with the group LOONA. Since going solo, she has also been active as an actor. In January, she released her first full-length album, 'XO, My Cyberlove'.
