KARA’s Gyuri transforms from a ‘goddess’ into ‘the monkey king’

On January 29th, KARA’s Gyuri guested on KBS 2TV’s “100 Points out of 100” and amused viewers with her exaggerated transformation.

Haha and Gyuri were invited as ‘new entrance’ students and took part in games that tested one’s patience. Some of the challenges included math, holding in your laughter, and stacking cans. Haha and Gyuri were pitted against each other and had to draw teams; the losing team was forced to make an ugly transformation as the consequence.

Unfortunately, Gyuri’s team (Kim Juri, Lee Seok Hoon, miss A’s Min, and Rainbow’s Jaekyung) lost their challenge, and they were taken away to hair and make-up.

When they came back out, viewers were bowled over by everyone’s 360° transformations, but it was Gyuri’s in particular who brought in the laughs.

‘Goddess Gyuri’ re-emerged from the make-up room with a unibrow and an old-school beard. The look was complete with an inverted widow’s peak and messy hair, which led many to comment that she looked like ‘the monkey king’.

The winning castmates teased them by shouting, “You’re all so ugly!”  Gyuri’s team replied that they hadn’t seen their transformations yet, and expressed immediate surprise after checking their reflections in the cameras.
