S.E.S. star Shoo reveals glowing skin after one-month transformation

Shoo, a member of the first-generation girl group S.E.S., candidly revealed her skin condition and showcased a transformed appearance after combining lifestyle changes with skin care for about a month. In particular, she demonstrated a management process that went beyond simple 'before and after procedures' by addressing not only the nasolabial folds and facial asymmetry pointed out by a specialist but also correcting her repeated tanning and improper cleansing habits.

In the 4th episode of Channel A's 'Beauty Clinic Touch Me' aired on the 14th, Shoo appeared to receive a diagnosis of her skin condition and revealed the process of creating changes over approximately one month.

As a result of the specialist examining Shoo's face closely, the areas of concern were not limited to skin tone and elasticity. Nasolabial folds and facial asymmetry were also identified as areas requiring management. Following this, stepwise treatments including calcium collagen boosters and inner regeneration injections were performed to improve skin tone, elasticity, and facial lines.

However, what the expert focused on even more was Shoo's lifestyle habits.

Shoo is known to have enjoyed tanning regularly, and the specialist cited excessive UV exposure due to repeated tanning as a problem. Additionally, it was discovered that during her self-interior decorating process, she had a habit of rubbing her face with cleansing tissues without properly washing it after dust had settled on her face.

The specialist analyzed that UV exposure, dust, and physical irritation had placed a burden on her skin due to her lifestyle patterns, explaining that a process of recovery was now necessary.

It wasn't just a skin issue. Previous broadcasts showed Shoo following a somewhat extreme diet to lose weight. A friend who has watched Shoo closely for 25 years also requested help from the program, worrying about her recent skin condition and management habits.

About a month passed like that.

When Shoo, who had changed her lifestyle habits and continued skin care, reappeared in the studio, the reactions from those around her changed immediately. Kim Ji-min, recalling the footage from before the management, guessed the influence of excessive dieting, saying, "Her complexion looked a bit dark," but after the actual management, a different kind of glow was noticeable on her face.

After confirming Shoo's transformation, the specialist also evaluated her, saying, "A radiance is coming from her face; she is truly glowing."

The reaction on set shared directly by Shoo was even more specific.

She said, "It feels like the glow is just bursting out. Even when I was getting my makeup done today, I told them I needed to look pretty, and the makeup artist said, 'You are already glowing. You don't even need oil or anything like that.'"

This means that rather than artificially adding shine through makeup, the glow was felt from the skin itself. Kim Ji-min also added to the description of Shoo's skin change, noting that it looked "as if pearl was applied."

The interesting point of this transformation is that it did not simply emphasize the effects of a specific procedure. Since skin aging is difficult to explain with a single cause, various lifestyle factors such as UV rays, sleep, eating habits, cleansing habits, skin irritation, and weight loss can act in a complex manner. Shoo also approached her management by reflecting on the habits she had repeated in her daily life and changing them.

Shoo, who debuted with S.E.S.'s 1st regular album in 1997, is one of the representative figures of the first-generation girl groups in Korean popular music history. S.E.S. opened the golden age of girl groups, dominating the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like 'I'm Your Girl', 'Dreams Come True', and 'I Love You'.

Now 44 years old, having debuted over 20 years ago, the change Shoo revealed in this broadcast was not merely a matter of appearance, such as 'looking a few years younger,' but was closer to a process of reflecting on lifestyle habits and helping the skin recover its original condition rather than just erasing the traces of time.

Ultimately, the most noticeable change Shoo gained after a month was not an artificial shine on her face, but a skin condition so improved that she could say herself, "I am already glowing."
