“Lovely Runner” Actress Shocks Netizens By Her Completely Different Visuals IRL

One of the hottest and rising shows right now is Lovely Runner.

The show has been gaining attention for the plotline, which sees Im Sol, played by Kim Hye Yoon, take solace in Ryu Sun Jae, played by Byeon Woo Seok, a top-tier K-Pop idol. When she travels back 15 years, she finds herself in the high school days of Ryu Sun Jae and faces the overwhelming task of preventing his future suicide. The show is based on the webtoon The Best Of Tomorrow.

In the show, one of the characters is Choi Ga Hyeon, who is played by Oh Se Young.

The character is seen as an iljin, which is the Korean word for a bully who is also a delinquent in school. From the screenshots and photos from the show, Se Young’s look, including her hair and makeup, is done in a way to make her look intimidating.

Yet, a post on the Korean forum, theqoo, gained attention after photos of the actress outside the show shocked netizens. In the pictures, Se Young looks gorgeous and like a true actress with her glamorous visuals and natural beauty.

While most of the comments saw netizens referring to Oh Se Young as her character Kang Se Ran from The Third Marriage, others just couldn’t get over how beautiful she looked in other photos. Many also praised the show for creating such an impactful look that transformed her from a beautiful actress into a bully character that people didn’t like.

• “Wow, she’s f*cking gorgeous. Like a different person, haha.”
• “Really pretty.”
• “Wow, she really does look like a different person! I think she portrayed an iljin’s (bullies who are delinquents) appearance very realistically.”
• “Wow, her vibes are really different depending on the role.”
• “Oh, wow. Such a pure, clean vibe. She looks like a different person.”

It really shows how much styling and makeup can alter someone’s appearance.
