Shin Min Ah went through quite the transformation!
She had special silicon prosthetics fitted on her face and hands, and the makeup team meticulously matched everything to her real skin tone.
On top of that, she wore a fat-suit, which meant she had to spend a full three hours getting ready before filming could even begin.
A dedicated team of seven or eight people worked their magic to transform the actresses. Three of them were on set to apply the makeup and prosthetics, while the rest were busy behind the scenes making all the necessary parts from special materials.
They spent a whopping 200 million won on special makeup and prosthetics!
Now, usually when an actor or actress undergoes such intense makeup, they get a few days off to let their skin recover.
But not Shin Min Ah! She endured 15 to 20 hours in makeup, had it all removed, and then went through the whole process again in just two to three hours. “Every transformation took over three hours, and the crew was always worried about her condition. But Shin Min Ah handled it all like an absolute champ!”
