Ra Mi-ran, Park Min-young, Joo Jong-hyuk Shine as Fresh Variety Stars in 'Perfect Glow,' Conquering New York with K-Beauty

Actors Ra Mi-ran, Park Min-young, and Joo Jong-hyuk have found a 'second career' and are reborn as fresh variety characters in tvN's entertainment program 'Perfect Glow.'

'Perfect Glow' features top Korean hair and makeup artists opening a K-beauty salon called 'Danjang' in Manhattan, New York, and showcasing the true essence of K-beauty to locals. The show is creating a new wave in the beauty variety genre by combining the visual pleasure of makeovers, heartwarming humanity, and the fun of reality.

Launched to significant attention as the first global K-beauty reality program, 'Perfect Glow' raised expectations with a well-balanced cast of experts, stars, and entertainers, including Ra Mi-ran, Park Min-young, Joo Jong-hyuk, Cha Hong, Leo J, and Pony.

Among them, Ra Mi-ran, Park Min-young, and Joo Jong-hyuk, who have taken on roles completely different from their main professions in 'Perfect Glow,' are adding fresh fun to the program with their new charms.

Ra Mi-ran, known as the CEO of 'Danjang' or 'La-ceo,' is the first face customers meet at 'Danjang.' Her warm and approachable smile disarms viewers, and her motherly leadership embraces the staff, making her the central figure of the 'Danjangz.' What stands out most is her 'Kkukkukku' (meaning 'dress up, dress up, and dress up again') styling. Every day, Ra Mi-ran showcases outfits that reinterpret traditional Korean aesthetics in a modern way, effectively turning herself into a walking billboard for K-culture, adding another layer of enjoyment to watching 'Perfect Glow.'

Park Min-young, as the salon director of 'Danjang,' displays a diverse range of charms. Since the first day of business, she has become the epitome of a customer's 'pursuit of beauty,' establishing herself as 'K-beauty itself.' Her professionalism and delicate sense as a 'beauty salon director,' coupled with her genuine attitude of listening to and supporting customers' concerns and desires, have earned her high praise. Additionally, like a traveling peddler carrying numerous items, Park Min-young's ability to readily provide whatever the 'Danjangz' need offers delightful comedic moments, showcasing her talent as a new variety personality.

Finally, Joo Jong-hyuk's transformation from 'Gwon Mo-sul' (a character known for cunning schemes) to 'Shampoo Guy' is also remarkable. Joo Jong-hyuk, who practiced shampooing for about two months for 'Perfect Glow,' candidly revealed his nervousness as a 'novice shampoo assistant,' tickling the funny bones of both customers and viewers. Although his shampooing skills are beginner-level, his 'emotional care' for customers is veteran-class. His unique wit, charm, and sweet tone comfort clients, disarming viewers' hearts. Furthermore, Joo Jong-hyuk's readiness to appear wherever support is needed acts as a crucial lubricant for 'Danjang's' operations.

In this way, 'Perfect Glow' assigns a new role as beauty salon staff to actors actively working in their primary careers, drawing out unprecedented charms. As the show gifts 'K-glow-up' to its New York clients and enhances the cast members' appeal, attention is focused on the future trajectory of 'Perfect Glow.'

'Perfect Glow' will broadcast its third episode on Thursday, the 20th, at 10:40 PM KST.

Netizens are reacting positively, with comments like, 'Ra Mi-ran's fashion is so fun to watch,' 'Park Min-young is so good at consultations, I want to get one too!', and 'Joo Jong-hyuk is cute when shampooing, and surprisingly listens well haha.'
