In the episode of MBC’s variety show I Live Alone airing on July 18 at 11:10 p.m. KST, Red Velvet’s Joy ditches her comfy pajamas for a full-on “kkukkukkku” look a trendy Korean term for meticulously styled outfits.

The episode teases her intense self-care routine, which includes morning home workouts and a serious commitment to makeup. Carrying not one, but three massive pouches filled with over 30 different cosmetic products, Joy gives viewers an exclusive peek at her personal makeup secrets.

The transformation continues as Joy experiments with a range of contrasting styles—from soft, romantic outfits to bold, edgy looks. She shares, “This is my style identity,” leaving viewers curious about which look she ultimately picks for her big day out.

But what exactly prompted this rare outing? That’s the big question.

With Joy known for being a self-proclaimed homebody, her decision to glam up and head outside hints at something or someone special. Considering her ongoing public relationship with Crush, whom she’s been dating since 2021, fans are speculating whether this glamorous day out could involve a date or a mention of her boyfriend.
