"So beautiful," "the height of glamour." Actress Han Ga-in recently drew admiration by showing off unprecedented beauty with the trending Shanghai wanghong makeup from China.
On the 12th, a video titled 'What if Han Ga-in, whose face is the most entertaining, tried Shanghai wanghong makeup?' was posted on Han Ga-in's personal YouTube channel, 'Ja-yu-buin Han Ga-in.' The uploaded video showed Han Ga-in leaving for a trip to Shanghai, China, with the 'Ja-yu-buin' channel production team, drawing attention.
Subscribers to the 'Ja-yu-buin' channel had long requested a variety of glamorous makeup looks for Han Ga-in. Among them, the production team suggested the 'wanghong makeup,' which has recently become a must-do during trips to Shanghai.
'Wanghong makeup' refers to the heavy makeup characteristic of so-called 'wanghong,' influencers in China who have many followers and are popular on social media. It has gained popularity through travel photos in which people wear elaborate headpieces and costumes that look like they could appear in Chinese historical dramas, using local landscapes as backdrops.
To prepare, Han Ga-in headed to the wanghong makeup location with the production team, even skipping meals. The makeup shop staff originally said, "It will be finished in 30 minutes," but upon seeing Han Ga-in recognized at a glance that she was the Korean actress they had seen in the past in "The Witch's Diner" and, impressed by her extraordinary beauty, became increasingly enthusiastic about beautifying her. As a result, Han Ga-in underwent more than an hour of makeup and hairstyling.
Wanghong makeup began with applying a foundation so white and heavy that the hands looked jaundiced from the start. After applying false eyelashes, Han Ga-in's already large eyes appeared even bigger. Even the production team was astonished, exclaiming, "The eyes are half the face." With pink shadow and intense pearly highlights applied, the makeup emphasized color and three-dimensionality throughout, and Han Ga-in, surprised, said, "I don't think I need sweet pink makeup."
As the extravagant makeup and headpieces increased, Han Ga-in said, "This is the height of glamour. There's no glamour beyond this," clicking her tongue. Having tried various looks, including idol makeup, Han Ga-in jokingly said, "I think I can graduate from this kind now." However, the production team suggested, "Gyaru makeup remains," adding, "There's nothing more to do in Korea. We'll have to do things like anaksunamun," which drew laughter.
The completed look also drew gasps. Even in her usual bare face or light everyday makeup, Han Ga-in has long boasted doll-like beauty with distinct features. With even more vivid and glamorous makeup and styling added, she displayed an overwhelming, picture-like, doll-like visual.
Previously, even male comedians such as Kwak Beom and Park Myung Soo caused a stir by appearing to transform into beautiful women through wanghong makeup. Han Ga-in outshone those transformations with her beauty. Proving this, local photographers, as if excited despite the rainy day, kept asking Han Ga-in for various poses and continued shooting. Passersby even stopped to watch the shoot, and she, embarrassed, clicked her tongue and said, "I can say for certain this is the most extravagant headpiece I've tried," while the production team and local Chinese staff watching her kept exclaiming, "So beautiful," and could not keep their mouths shut.
Han Ga-in's wanghong makeup video surpassed 200,000 views on the day it was posted, drawing intense interest. Wanghong makeup is typically so heavy it can erase an individual's personality, so among domestic travelers it can serve as a travel memento though opinions are divided. However, reactions toward Han Ga-in included "Han Ga-in's face beat the wanghong makeup." Unfortunately, Han Ga-in's beauty like this is being revealed only through variety shows and YouTube because her acting work has been absent since the 2018 drama 'Mistress' was released. Fans hope that Han Ga-in, who maintains beauty that shines through any makeup, will shine with acting in a new project.
