Han Hye Jin's Tokyo Gyaru Makeup Transformation

Model-turned-broadcaster Han Hye-jin transformed into a 'gyaru' in Tokyo, Japan, completing a daring visual transformation. On the 26th, a video titled "I went to Tokyo to beat the drum. It's late... lol" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Han Hye-jin'. In the video, Han Hye-jin visited Tokyo with comedian Pungja and revealed her attempt at gyaru makeup. Han Hye-jin announced her transformation, saying, "After seeing Myungsoo oppa's Wang Hong makeup hit, I'm going to counter with gyaru makeup." Upon arriving at the makeup shop, she created a completely different atmosphere from her usual image by adding a pink wig, elaborate eye makeup, and various accessories. In particular, the gyaru style, added to her tall 177cm frame and model proportions, created a strong contrast, and unlike her usual chic image, she showcased a different charm by pulling off bold colors and styling. After completing her transformation, Han Hye-jin expressed her satisfaction, saying, "I'm so pretty," and continued filming on the streets of Shibuya, Tokyo, capturing attention.

Han Hye-jin suggested, "After seeing Myungsoo oppa's Wang Hong makeup hit, let's counter with gyaru makeup." Pungja responded with surprise, "Isn't that too late?" but Han Hye-jin led the mood by saying, "We came to Japan late, so what can we do?" The difference in their attitudes continued even as they traveled to the makeup shop. Pungja expressed her concern, "Are there gyaru this big in Japan too?" and then declared with a laugh, "Being pretty isn't important. We just need to leave behind embarrassing memories." On the other hand, Han Hye-jin showed her anticipation, saying, "Why do you think it's embarrassing? Will we ever have this experience again before we die?"

The two embarked on their transformation, choosing gyaru makeup and outfits that suited their individual styles. Pungja completed her 'fat gyaru' style with a blonde wig, leopard print outfit, multiple belts, and fur boots. Han Hye-jin, transformed into a pink-toned gyaru, said, "This is so fun. It feels like playing with dolls," and expressed her satisfaction after the makeup was done, saying, "I'm so pretty." After transforming into the gyaru style, the two went out onto the streets to film. Han Hye-jin chose the area around Shibuya Station as a photo spot and naturally struck poses, exuding her model aura, while Pungja also participated professionally in the shoot.

However, once they were on the street, they couldn't hide their shyness. Han Hye-jin confessed, "I'm embarrassed," and Pungja honestly shared her feelings, "I've stood in front of many people while broadcasting, but this is the first time I've felt this embarrassed." Despite this, they resolved to "be even more confident when it's like this" and continued filming. After completing the gyaru concept photoshoot in about an hour, they added to the laughter by revealing their group name 'Takoyaki' and the concept that it was actually their debut album jacket.

Netizens who watched the video showered them with praise, leaving comments such as, "I see Anya Taylor-Joy in Han Hye-jin," "As expected, models are different. Her ability to pull it off is amazing," "She looks like a real person in Japan," "It suits her so well," and "I'd believe she's a member of a 20s girl group."
