Red Velvet’s Irene Gets Rid Of Huge Pimple In Real Time… And Shows It All On Cam!

K-Pop idols are no strangers to the cameras, but even they have their off days! Not many are happy to reveal them on camera, though.

Red Velvet‘s Irene is currently in full solo era mode. After dropping her first studio album, Biggest Fan, and wrapping up promotions, she’s been giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the album’s creative process through a series of vlogs.

Her latest video, though, has taken on a life of its own. In one clip, Irene candidly talks about a massive pimple that showed up right before a music video shoot. She even puts it on camera, which already had fans in disbelief.

If you’re asking me what happened to my chin. I got a pimple. It wasn’t this big. It was really tiny, but like this, I popped it with a cotton swab…

green concealer in very light, thin layers then go over it with a concealer that is close to your skin shade. That’s the technique 😋

Nars pot concealer will do this if you apply it with a flat brush and then let it dry down for like 10m and then put on your foundation after or just leave it if you only wanna wear concealer

No pimple is a match for a good makeup team, it seems. You can watch Irene’s full BTS vlog below.
