Park Minyoung will hold a surprise fan meeting in the middle of New York.
tvN entertainment program 'PerfecT Glow' (directed by Kim Sang-a, Gwak Ji-hye) features representative Ra Miran and deputy minister Park Minyoung leading South Korea's top hair and makeup experts as they open a Korean-style beauty shop "Director General (DANJANG)" in Manhattan, New York, and directly showcase the true essence of K-beauty in the "K-beauty New York conquest". Each episode has received praise for its newly delivered magical makeovers and the chemistry of the "Danjangs," who boast K-golden hands and K-workmanship. In particular, as of Dec. 28, the accumulated video views surpassed 300 million views (total across CJ ENM YouTube multi-channel, Instagram, TikTok, Naver, Facebook), further fueling word of mouth that shows no signs of cooling.
In the ninth episode of 'PerfecT Glow' airing today (the 1st), a passionate fan of Park Minyoung arrives as a new guest of the "Director General." Victoria, who is a fan of K-dramas, visits with her mother Mary Big and three friends, adding a bustling, warm atmosphere, and Victoria and her mother cannot hide their excitement at the unexpected meeting with their favorite actress Park Minyoung. In response, Park Minyoung briefly steps down from her role as the Director General's counseling chief and summons "star Park Minyoung" to meet the fans' support. In particular, when Park Minyoung warmly hugged Mary Big and said, "May I hug you?" Mary Big confessed, "I even bought the jacket Minyoung wore in the drama," revealing her genuine fandom and raising expectations for the heartwarming meeting between Park Minyoung and the local fans.
Meanwhile, Joo Jong Hyuk draws attention by revealing another hidden skill. In meeting Victoria, a Filipino American, he says, "I actually lived in the Philippines for two years in middle school," and begins speaking Tagalog (one of the Philippines' official languages). Known as an overseas student in Australia, Joo Jong Hyuk already showcases fluent English skills as well as dexterity and beauty sense, earning recognition as a "multi-talented all-rounder." So talented to an almost suspicious degree, Joo Jong Hyuk even unexpectedly sings the Philippine national anthem, which surprises everyone around him because even Victoria did not know it.
Meanwhile, Victoria, the makeover's protagonist that day, is a doctor working as a second-year neurosurgery resident in New York, and she expresses the wish to find the beautiful "self" she had lost due to work. Along with this, Victoria shares a special story, saying, "I became a doctor because of my mother's influence; she suffers from an unexplained neurological disorder," and adds, "Actually, if possible, I wanted to give today's makeover to my mother," evoking deep emotion with her profound love for her mother. With such filial devotion, a miraculous K-glow-up unfolds for Victoria, raising anticipation for the main broadcast of 'PerfecT Glow' to decorate the first day of the new year with thrilling emotion.
