Celebrity’s Transformation By Popular Influencer Triggers Divided Reactions
Recently, comedian Kim Young Chul went through a major transformation.

Makeup artist Risabae appeared as a guest on JTBC‘s Knowing Bros and recommended Kim to change his glasses for a new look.

Kim Young Chul, who has been known for his thick rimmed glasses, finally took this as an opportunity for a visual upgrade.



The new pair of glasses revealed a more sleek and minimal style, with a think metal rim.


The new glasses gave him a more dandy and neat look, receiving a positive response from the panel.

On September 1, Kim Young Chul posted a photo thanking makeup artist Risabae for changing his image with just a pair of glasses.

Risabae really gave this to me as a gift. I’ve sent it to the eyeglass store to get a prescription for it. I will wear it when I meet Risabae again soon. Thank you for making me look like Cha Eunwoo? for a moment.

However, netizens were divided on the new look.

- “No one likes his previous glasses, but I think there would be people who like the look of the new glasses. Looks so much better.”
- “He looks like a doctor LOL.”
- “It’s nice!”
- “But it makes him look a bit older…I think the old style is better.”
- “The new glasses really make you focus on his eyes.”
- “I think his thick-rimmed glasses suit him better. He could wear the new style occasionally, but the old style makes him look younger and covers his face well.”
- “The old style looks better, though?”
