Actress Hwang Jung-eum tried idol makeup inspired by Blackpink member Jennie, prompting unexpected mixed reactions.

On the 19th, a video titled 'The day I did idol makeup and went to a club with Ayumi' was uploaded to Hwang Jung-eum's YouTube channel.

That day Hwang Jung-eum said she wanted "eye-catching yet like someone else," mentioning Blackpink member Jennie and foreshadowing a novel transformation. The makeup artist said that recently actors also often request idol makeup, explaining, "It shines from multiple angles, and these days that's called 'beam.' Today we're going to try a pink beam."

Hwang Jung-eum requested "heavy eye makeup," and a glamorous look was completed by adding intense eyes to a pink glow. Hwang Jung-eum seemed pleased with the finished look and repeatedly took selfies with her phone.

Later Hwang Jung-eum also revealed footage of meeting Ayumi in Itaewon. With sun-kissed skin, flashy makeup and daring styling, Hwang Jung-eum evoked a different vibe from her days performing in the girl group Sugar.

But reactions among netizens were mixed over the revealed makeup. While some said the glamorous transformation suited her, others commented, "I thought she deliberately did old-fashioned makeup," "tacky," and even "looks like 1990s makeup," expressing disappointment that it did not highlight Hwang Jung-eum's natural charm.

Hwang Jung-eum, who has been continuing her transformation by showing sun-kissed skin and a healthy-looking visual from recent tanning, recreated an image from the drama 'Giant' from 16 years ago and this time tried idol makeup inspired by Jennie, drawing attention with another changed style amid an unexpected debate.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum recently has been communicating with fans by sharing her daily life and various transformation processes on her YouTube channel.<
