ONA
Description
Go-Eun Han is introduced as a coworker of Jugyeong Lim at a local convenience store. It is later revealed that she is also a junior at the same school and the younger sister of Seojun Han. Her background is marked by a passion for singing, which leads her to land the lead role in her school's musical.
In terms of personality, Go-Eun is a very straightforward and blunt individual. While she is kind-hearted at her core, this directness means she does not make friends as easily as someone like Jugyeong. Her personality shares some similarities with her older brother, including a tendency to tease him about his rude attitude and his use of makeup, though their relationship is warm and amicable overall.
Go-Eun's primary motivation stems from her struggle with self-confidence regarding her appearance. After earning the lead role in the musical, she faced significant criticism and a lack of support from her classmates, who believed she was not beautiful enough for the part. This external pressure motivates her to seek solutions to be accepted, which leads her to learn makeup from Jugyeong. She begins applying makeup more frequently to avoid the harsh judgment of her peers and to perform on stage with confidence.
Within the story, Go-Eun serves as a close friend and a source of connection for the main characters. Her role is significant in that her experiences mirror the central theme of using makeup as a tool for empowerment and social acceptance. The friendship with Jugyeong begins at the convenience store, where Go-Eun is notably the only one who helps Jugyeong deal with problematic customers. The bond deepens when Jugyeong overhears Go-Eun singing at school and learns about the bullying she faces. Recognizing the pain of being judged on appearance, Jugyeong offers to do Go-Eun's makeup for the musical performance. This act of kindness not only allows Go-Eun to stand on stage with confidence but also makes her famous on social media as the Single Eyelid Goddess of her high school, inspiring her to learn makeup from Jugyeong.
Key relationships define much of Go-Eun's development. Her friendship with Jugyeong is a cornerstone of her arc, as Jugyeong helps her gain the confidence she lacked. Go-Eun is even considered by Jugyeong to be a doppelganger of her own bare-faced self. With her brother Seojun, their relationship is characterized by minor quarrels and teasing, but it is ultimately very warm. Seojun openly expresses his affection, such as bringing her flowers after her musical in his typical tsundere manner.
Throughout the story, Go-Eun demonstrates notable development. She transitions from a blunt and somewhat isolated girl who faces ridicule for her looks to a more confident individual who uses makeup as a tool for self-expression and acceptance. Her successful performance in the musical and the subsequent positive social media attention mark a turning point in her self-perception. Her notable ability is her singing talent, which was the reason she was cast in the lead role of the musical in the first place.
