The transformation of “human vitamin” CHUU into a “Lovely hot girl” is absolutely striking.
In the KBS 2TV drama “My girlfriend is the man”, where she plays Kang Minjoo, CHUU instantly captivates viewers with her charming yet bold presence.
“My girlfriend is the man” tells the wild romance between Kim Ji Eun (played by Arin), a girlfriend who suddenly turns into a handsome guy overnight, and Park Yoon Jae (Yoon Sanha), who can’t give her up. Kang Minjoo, portrayed by CHUU, is known as the “hot girl” of Yonsei University, grabbing attention with her flashy look, confident attitude, and fearless boldness.
In episode 5, Kang Minjoo sweetly teases Yoon Jae, saying, “The illusions are over, but your gaze hasn’t changed since the first day.” CHUU’s perfectly timed and nuanced expression turned this moment into a real “heart-fluttering” scene, blending sweetness and playfulness into an intriguing vibe.
In episode 6, despite Yoon Jae setting boundaries, she coolly replies with a confident smile, “Oppa, you’re kinda in danger right now. You’re not drawing a line for me, you’re drawing one for yourself.” CHUU brings Kang Minjoo to life with sincere boldness, crafting a character who’s unpredictable but impossible not to love.
Especially at the end of the episode, the scene where Kang Minjoo moves into apartment 202 in the building across from Kim Ji Hoon (Yoo Jung Hoo) and Yoon Jae’s house sets the stage for a love triangle. Her playful smile and sparkling eyes ignited viewers’ curiosity about what’s to come.
CHUU paints this “Lovely hot girl” with her own unique flair, seamlessly shifting between romance and comedy with vibrant energy. Every line and glance carries her distinct charm, adding excitement and tension with every appearance, lighting up the show with her radiant presence. With solid acting skills, CHUU shapes Kang Minjoo into a well-rounded, compelling character, earning praise and raising expectations for her future projects and increasingly refined performances.
Meanwhile, “My girlfriend is the man” starring CHUU airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:50 PM KST on KBS 2TV.
