On May 13, a video titled “5th Generation Idol Challenge” was uploaded to Ham Eun Jung’s YouTube channel.

In the video, Ham Eun Jung shared her honest thoughts about modern makeup trends while getting styled by a makeup artist.

She commented, “These days there are so many different types of 5th-generation idol makeup. Some styles are glossy, some have that ‘baked’ look, and others look very clear and fresh. But honestly, I think 2nd-generation idol makeup suits me better.”

During the process, she also appeared surprised while getting eye-aegyo-sal makeup applied under her eyes.

Ham Eun Jung reacted by saying, “Why are you making under my eyes so dark? My aegyo-sal became way too big,” showing her confusion toward the unfamiliar makeup style.

The makeup artist then explained, “These days, all idols do their makeup like this. It looks great in photos,” before adding, “Actors usually don’t like this kind of makeup.”

Hearing that, Ham Eun Jung paused for a moment and jokingly responded, “But I’m both an idol and an actress…”

She then said, “Wow, I really became an actress. I think I caught the ‘actor disease.’”

The makeup artist immediately played along, replying, “Yeah, you definitely caught the actor disease,” causing everyone on set to burst into laughter.

As the makeover continued, idol-style makeup details including dramatic eyelashes, emphasized aegyo-sal, and highlighter were added.

Looking at the final result, Ham Eun Jung expressed her surprise, saying, “I look like a completely different person. I’ve never tried a style like this before.”

Meanwhile, Ham Eun Jung debuted as a member of T-ARA in 2009 and gained massive popularity with the group before successfully transitioning into acting through various dramas and films.
