A K-HOLLYWOOD MADONNA
THIS ORDINARY STRAIGHT-HAIRED GIRL BECAME

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.

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

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

MAGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS HAPPEN
KELLIE'S BEAUTY WISH:

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

CHEERING
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.
-Can you speak Korean?

Very little.

WELCOME
CONSULTATION
RACHEL KIM IS A MODEL
REPRESENTING PLUS-SIZE WOMEN
WHAT MAKEUP LOOK DOES RACHEL WANT?
My dad is American.
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.
SO CUTE

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.
-Welcome to DANJANG.
-Welcome to DANJANG.
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
GIGGLING
JONG-HYUK IS SCURRYING
TO CYNTHIA'S MAKEUP ARTIST, PONY
Tell me when you're done.
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
AS A NEW PERSON IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
SO EXCITED AND CURIOUS
HOW WILL THE NEW RACHEL SURPRISE HER MOM?
This is so nerve-racking!
AT LAS
HERE SHE COMES
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
THE SECRET TO HER SOFTER EYES
WIDENING HER EYES FROM THE BACK
Koreans love aegyosal.
THE KEY TO YOUTHFUL MAKEUP:
HIGHLIGHTING THE UNDER-EYE FA
HER BABY FACE SHINES EVEN MORE NOW
SHE FOUND HER NATURAL BEAUTY WITH A K-GLOW
-She's beautiful.
-You look so pretty!
-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 SHOOT!
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
AND JUST LEAVE IT TO PONY
NEXT, SHE PULLS OUT SOMETHING
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 RESEMBLES ANNE HATHAWAY

She really looks like her with makeup.

-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?

We need someone to make the drinks.
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

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.

Thank you.
-Bye. Thank you.
-Goodbye.
-Lisa didn't cry once.
-No.
-What a good girl.
-For sure.
