Jang Sung Kyu, a former announcer turned entertainer, has left fans in shock with his striking makeover that channels idol-worthy visuals.

On November 27 KST, Jang Sung Kyu shared photos on Instagram, revealing his transformed look after a makeup session. He uploaded the post with the caption, “I’ve achieved my dream. My goal was to be in the top three best-looking MCs, and with just a bit of change, that dream has come true.” Adding a playful twist, he continued, “But what if I end up becoming an actor because of this? I’m a little worried, though it’s probably just wishful thinking.”

A few hours later, Jang Sung Kyu posted another photo and shared, "I'm getting a hotter reaction than I expected. Thank you for your various reactions asking 'Were you hacked?' 'Is this AI?' Is it deepfake?' and 'Did you get work done?'" He continued with a humourous remark saying, "But no matter how much you say, comments like 'I thought it was Cha Eun Woo' feel like an offense to Eun Woo himself. I kindly ask everyone to refrain, if you don't mind."

Korean netizens were shocked by Jang Sung Kyu's image transformation and commented:
