A smash hit webcomic from Korea!

True Beauty, a smash hit webcomic from Korea, follows the story of Jugyeong, a high schooler who sees her social standing skyrocket when she masters the art of makeup from online videos. But how long can she keep her true identity a secret?

Mastering the art of makeovers, Jugyeong Lim navigates high school and then college, while her self-esteem, romantic life, and career are constantly in flux.

Jugyeong Lim has been treated unfairly by her family and bullied by her enemies due to being perceived as ugly. She learns how to use makeup by binge-watching online video tutorials. As she slowly masters the art of makeovers, her dramatic transformation leads to overwhelming popularity and fame.

Jugyeong is trying her best to balance school, the upcoming college entrance exam, her beauty academy classes, and her family drama . . . not to mention her secret hope to be more than friends with Suho. The two awkward teens keep trying to confess their feelings for each other . . . but time is running out faster than either of them expects.
