Yura, the former Girl’s Day member, shares her secret to staying youthful.
On the 15th, TV CHOSUN’s Modern Figures: Mr. Lee (hereafter “Mr. Lee”) dives into the beauty secrets of Korea’s most age-defying icons by tracing the history of the country’s beauty industry. While discussing K-makeup from the Joseon era to today with trend expert Dr. Jihye Choi, host Yura revealed, “I go for a ‘juicy’ makeup look.” Co-host Lee Kyung-kyu responded with a playful dad joke—”Did you overdo it?”—and the studio erupted in laughter.
As the conversation continued, Yura kept shining. After hearing about cosmetics developed by Amorepacific founder Seo Seong-hwan, she couldn’t hide her praise. Having tried Amorepacific’s world-first cushion compact herself, she called it a must-have, leaving viewers intrigued. Yura also expressed keen interest in K-beauty products reportedly favored by North Korea’s Ri Sol-ju, proving she’s still a K-beauty trendsetter.
The episode also charts the history of cosmetics models. Actress Chae Shi-ra—Coreana Cosmetics’ longest-serving face—made a surprise appearance, lighting up the studio. The show also recounts how Im Kwang-jung, founder of Hankook Cosmetics, was the first in the industry to hire a sports star as a model, launching Hyun Jung-hwa onto the screen. When the discussion turned to model contracts, Yura noted that being a cosmetics model carries real responsibility, playfully putting herself forward while emphasizing the role’s seriousness.
