Jang Yoon-jeong undergoes bold idol makeup transformation inspired by aespa

Broadcaster and former Miss Korea winner Jang Yoon-jeong underwent a striking idol-style makeover inspired by aespa members NINGNING and GISELLE in a video released on the Jang Yoon-jung♥Kim Malgeum YouTube channel on the 10th.

Broadcaster Jang Yoon-jeong, known for her elegant and graceful image, underwent a striking transformation into an idol-style look thanks to her daughter's touch. The bold change, which stood in stark contrast to her usual sophisticated appearance, left even Jang herself surprised. After the unique makeup inspired by aespa's NINGNING and GISELLE was completed, Jang expressed her satisfaction, creating a playful and humorous moment between mother and daughter.

On the 10th, a video titled "Is she an idol and not two kids? The eldest daughter playing pranks on her Miss Korea mother hahaha" was released on the YouTube channel Jang Yoon-jung♥Kim Malgeum. The video captures Kim Malgeum applying idol-style makeup to her mother, Jang Yoon-jeong, attempting a unique makeover. The combination of a mother who was a Miss Korea winner and a daughter attempting an idol transformation piqued interest from the start.

Before the makeup began, Jang Yoon-jeong expressed curiosity, asking, "My daughter says she's going to give me an idol makeup look. What is idol makeup? How is it different?" In response, Kim Malgeum showed confidence, stating, "It is different. I will do my best," before explaining, "This is aespa makeup. NINGNING and GISELLE. I have seen their makeup styles a lot." The plan was to transform her mother into an idol visual by referencing the members of the globally popular girl group aespa.

As the makeup session commenced, Kim Malgeum reached for brighter colored products than usual to recreate the vivid and glamorous stage makeup characteristic of idols. Her approach to skin application was particularly bold. Kim Malgeum introduced her method, saying, "I have to use the whitest foundation," and the atmosphere instantly turned into laughter as the foundation, which was much brighter than expected, was applied to Jang Yoon-jeong's face.

Upon checking the mirror, Jang Yoon-jeong was startled by her own reflection. Watching this, Kim Malgeum caused bursts of laughter by commenting, "It looks exactly like the color of paper." As the skin application continued with more concealer, Jang looked into the mirror again and gave an honest reaction, saying, "It's scary. It looks like a ghost." However, she soon expressed unexpected satisfaction, adding, "It's pretty because it's white."

Kim Malgeum also explained the characteristics of idol makeup, emphasizing, "Stage makeup looks pretty when viewed from a distance. If you look closely, it's not the intended image," while adding, "Mom, you're pretty." This noted the nature of idol makeup, which must account for actual stage lighting and the distance of the audience. As shading, blush, and lipstick were added in succession, the glamorous idol style was gradually completed on Jang Yoon-jeong's face.

Although initially flustered by the unfamiliar makeup, Jang Yoon-jeong expressed her satisfaction upon seeing the final result, saying, "It's so pretty." She continued the pleasant atmosphere throughout the filming by even mimicking idol poses to show off her daughter's makeup skills. The intense colors of the idol makeup added to her characteristic Miss Korea elegance, revealing a charm different from her existing image.

Jang Yoon-jeong was crowned the winner at the 31st Miss Korea Pageant in 1987 and took second place at the Miss Universe pageant in 1988. Since then, she has met the public through various broadcasting programs as an MC. Having been remembered as a symbol of beauty for a long time, she provided unique entertainment by undergoing a bold idol transformation through her daughter's hands.
