tvN's 'Perfect Glow' brings unexpected K-glow up to a New York mom who had given up on beauty due to an unexplained chronic illness, thanks to the efforts of Ra Mi-ran, Park Min-young, Joo Jong-hyuk, Cha Hong, Leo J, and Pony.
The 9th episode of the tvN variety show 'Perfect Glow,' aired on Thursday, January 1st, showcased a series of extraordinary makeovers, marking the New Year with surprise and emotion.
The first guest was Riley, a personal color expert from New York. Having developed an interest in personal color during her time as an exchange student in Korea, Riley expressed a deep affection for K-beauty. Ra Mi-ran received a surprise personal color diagnosis from Riley, discovering she was a 'winter cool tone,' which led her to humorously resolve to reorganize her wardrobe.
Pony took charge of Riley's makeup. As a beauty expert with stunning goddess-like looks, Riley received a meticulously crafted makeover that perfectly matched her dress color, leaving everyone in awe. The eye makeup, enhancing her mystical 'turtle shell' eyes, was particularly praised by Cha Hong, who exclaimed, "This is unprecedented. Her eyes look like a doll's," adding to the laughter. Riley's transformation left her husband Isaac in awe, saying, "You look fantastic," turning the atmosphere into a pink-hued delight.
On the final day of operations, the first guest was Victoria, a second-year neurosurgery resident. She visited with her mother, Mary Vic, and three friends, creating a lively atmosphere. Victoria and her mother revealed themselves as ardent fans of Park Min-young, leading to an impromptu fan meeting.
The close bond between Victoria and Mary Vic was touching. Victoria shared that her choice to become a doctor was influenced by her mother's battle with an unexplained neurological disorder. She expressed her desire to give her mother the makeover opportunity, feeling both upset and apologetic. Park Min-young, born in 1986, empathized deeply, saying, "I completely understand as my mom is my best friend too," evoking heartfelt emotions.
In a twist of fate, an unexpected 'mother-daughter makeover' unfolded. Pony transformed Victoria into a Disney princess, delighting everyone. Then came the moment for her mother. Leo J enhanced Mary Vic's asymmetrical eyes, caused by her illness, with false eyelashes, restoring her beauty. The mother and daughter, seeing each other post-makeover, felt immense happiness, moving everyone to tears. Ra Mi-ran was particularly emotional, with Pony comforting her by saying, "The power F is here," to which Ra Mi-ran humorously replied, "I'm a T," wiping her tears and adding both laughter and poignancy.
