Former Crayon Pop member Way opened up about the strict beauty standards and behind the scenes maintenance of celebrities, particularly actresses.
On February 24, a new video titled 'Actress Level Care + How to Become Beautiful in Real Life' was uploaded to her YouTube channel WayLand.
In the video, Way shared candid insights from her experience across different corners of the entertainment industry. “Not all celebrities are the same,” she said. “I’ve worked as an actress, an idol, and also in the influencer industry. When you look at actresses who are considered celebrities among celebrities, you start to wonder how they manage themselves to look that beautiful.”
She addressed online comments comparing influencers and celebrities, clarifying, “It’s not that influencers are unattractive and celebrities are pretty. That’s not what it means.” Way explained that idols often benefit from heavy makeup and various visual enhancements. “Idols wear bold makeup and have accessories, outfits, and lighting to help them look their best. There are also filters. Even dating reality shows these days use filters, and influencers basically always have filters applied,” she noted.
In contrast, she emphasized that actors are filmed in far more unforgiving conditions. “Actors are captured very realistically. Lead actresses these days cannot even wear heavy makeup. They also cannot undergo cosmetic procedures carelessly because scars will show on camera. You can see every detail, which means they are beautiful down to the smallest features,” she said.
Way also discussed the difference between “beautiful wrinkles” and those that are less flattering. “There are wrinkles that form when you look pretty, like the lines that appear when you smile with your eyes,” she explained. “But there are also wrinkles that make you look older, the kind people say cannot be fixed, no matter how much you manage them. Under eye fat, nasolabial folds that show even when you are not smiling, and the worst is neck wrinkles.”
She further pointed out differences in facial expressions between influencers and traditional celebrities. “Actors and idols have a wide range of expressions. They cry, laugh, and wink. Influencers do not often need to do that. Someone might look pretty when they are still, but when they start talking, the gap between real life and the screen becomes noticeable,” she said.
In addition to discussing cosmetic procedures and home care routines, Way also stressed the importance of posture and muscle tone. She highlighted the need to correct rounded shoulders, prevent double chins, and build back muscles, offering practical tips and information to her subscribers.
