Where am I? Who am I?
Even if that person is Chae Hong-sa
Red bean powder instead of cleansing foam, and ointment instead of skin toner
Fresh as a mountain cherry, bright as a pear blossom
Are you going to give up just because of that?
A world-class beauty like you, a world-class beauty like me
Mission Name: 'Make Princess Mama Ga-in'
I never thought I'd get a crush in Joseon!
You'll come to your senses if you die in a single shot, right?
Contouring vs. Anti-Contouring
Even though I increased the silver by tens of millions
Joseon Dynasty ladies' wannabe modal
No to common girls in Gangnam, OK with individuality!
The full moon rises over Gwangtonggyo Bridge
Hanyang's hot spot, Joseon Gain Salon
You are my lover, I am your lover
The sky is full of dark clouds
A gloomy Chugukjang
Locked in prison with a big sword
That day will come
Should I stay or go back?
Wearing a silver-blue ring… …

Into the book
"Where am I? Is this a cult temple? Am I being offered up as a sacrifice?" Cherry was tense.
“Listen carefully.
“If we are to speak of this place, it is the sacred Seongsu-cheong that protects the Joseon royal family, and if we are to speak of me, I am the head shaman of Seongsu-cheong, and if we are to speak of you, I came to Joseon from the future nation of the Republic of Korea.” “What, Seongsu-cheong shaman? I came to the Joseon Dynasty? What kind of nonsense is that?” “Are you kidding me? Why would I come to the Joseon Dynasty?” Cherry shouted in surprise, almost fainting.
But the shaman pretended not to hear and just continued talking.
“I hereby declare to you the will of Heaven: Follow that person, but do not reveal to anyone that you are from the future kingdom.” Cherry’s hair stood on end.
I pinched my cheek, wondering if it was a dream.
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
So it wasn't a dream, but I couldn't understand the situation at all.
“Stop talking nonsense and let me go!” “Oh my! How can you raise your voice in the sacred Seongsu-cheong! You came to Joseon of your own free will, and don’t you know it even after seeing this?” The shaman scolded loudly and opened a small, square green case.
'Hey, that's it!'

After a while, I went into the princess's room and sat down opposite her. The princess carefully picked the cherries.
Moving your gaze from the forehead to the eyes, from the eyes to the nose, from the nose to the lips, from the lips to the cheek… … .
Then, Lady Yoon put a brush in Princess Hyoyeon's hand and said.
“Princess, please give whatever order to Lady Kang.” As if on cue, the princess suddenly burst into tears.
Court Lady Yun wiped the princess's tears with a muslin towel with a pitiful look in her eyes.
Only then did the princess stop crying and begin to write on the paper.
After painstakingly writing each letter, I turned the paper over so Cherry could see it.
The paper read:
Cherry, who is as beautiful as you and as pale as me, was bewildered.
The princess pointed to the words, “A beautiful woman like you,” and then pointed to the cherry with her finger. Then she pointed to the words, “A beautiful woman like me,” and then pointed to herself.
"I'm the most beautiful in the world, and the princess is the most beautiful in the world? Who are you kidding?" Cherry said with a laugh.
“What are you talking about? The princess is a beautiful woman.
“I am the most beautiful person in the world… ….” Then the princess glared at Cherry fiercely and turned around.
--- p.54~55
Cherry straightened the princess's back and shoulders and made her walk with long strides, one step at a time.
The princess seemed to have finally noticed, and walked with a more confident gait and a much more stable posture.
“Wow! Princess Mama, you’re the best! You’re doing it right now. You look so cool and confident.”
“You look energetic.” “Really? Did I do well?” “I told you so.
“If you keep doing this, it’s only a matter of time before our princess becomes the best singer in Joseon.” The princess smiled brightly as Cherry showered her with compliments.
“What about Cain?
It doesn't have to be that bad.
Thanks to Kang Gyu-su, I gained weight, my face became prettier, and I gained confidence.
This alone makes me happy.
“I was dying, but I survived thanks to Kang Gyu-su.” “No, I am the one who should be thankful to Princess Mama.
“No matter how hard I tried on my own, it would have been impossible if Mama hadn’t been there for me.” The past month has truly been a very important time for the two of them.
The princess began to trust Cherry even more as the semi-contour makeup technique surprisingly suited her well.
Cherry, with her own strength, worked with Jang Na-in to create more cosmetics and study makeup techniques more diligently.
--- p.101~102
“Is this the Joseon Gain Salon?” “Yes, but what are you doing here?” “We are the gisaengs of Cheongpungnu.
“I came to see Mr. Kang Gyu-su.” Cherry tilted her head.
Cherry sighed as Yeonhwa looked at her with a questioning look in her eyes.
“What can I do?
“Tell them to come in.” Soon Yeonhwa unlocked the door and opened it wide.
As soon as that happened, about six or seven gisaengs came pouring in.
But the gisaengs of Cheongpungnu were not the end.
The Joseon Gain Salon was always crowded with women.
Okyeongjeong, which is on par with Cheongpungnu, was visited by all the famous gisaengs in the capital, and from the gatherings of the wives of the noble families to the gatherings of the noble ladies, they were anxious to meet Cherry.
Although they sent letters or people in advance to politely ask for their intentions, there were also many cases where they visited without warning, like the gisaengs at Cheongpungnu.
Of course, all the cherries were sent back.
Of course, if I had to live in Joseon forever, it would be worthwhile to grow the Joseon Gain Salon and become Joseon's best makeup artist.
But in just a few months, we'll be back in the 21st century, so how can we possibly start teaching beauty and poetry classes?
But one day the princess said this.
"If so many women are seeking out Kang Gyu-su after hearing my rumors, why not use the Hongik Ingan spirit to save the women of Joseon? Of course, it will take effort."
--- p.158
Suddenly, a noise was heard in the hallway, and a man wearing a black mask suddenly appeared.
When Cherry was startled, the black mask pretended to cover its mouth and said, "Shhh."
Then he hurriedly opened the door and came in, took out the large sword, and grabbed Cherry's hand and dragged her.
“Who are you?” Cherry asked in surprise, and the black masked man spoke in a low voice.
“It’s true.
Before the Grand Prince was imprisoned, he ordered me to rescue Gyu-su Kang.
“Let’s get out of here.” The keeper guarding the jade gate at the end of the hallway had his head bowed, his chest covered in blood, as if he had been attacked by Jinmu.
The two walked through the hallway and backyard toward the fence.
“I will lift you up, so jump over the wall.” The moment Jinmu spoke, suddenly a group of guards holding torches came running out and shouted.
“Stay right there!” Cherry clung to Jinmu’s back, and Jinmu and the guards engaged in a fierce fight.
Jinmu defeated several guards in an instant, but he was unable to handle the guards who continued to swarm him with his body alone.
In the end, Cherry was locked in the prison again and Jinmu was also captured.
As he was being dragged away by the guards, Jinmu spoke to Cherry in a hurry.
“I’m sorry things turned out this way.
But you must never lose hope.
“The Grand Princess told me to tell you that I will be cleared of my charges and that we will meet again soon.”
“Listen carefully.
“If we are to speak of this place, it is the sacred Seongsu-cheong that protects the Joseon royal family, and if we are to speak of me, I am the head shaman of Seongsu-cheong, and if we are to speak of you, I came to Joseon from the future nation of the Republic of Korea.” “What, Seongsu-cheong shaman?

Publisher's Review
Open the mouth of Princess Hyoyeon, who suffers from aphasia.
You must complete the mission to return to the 21st century!
Kang Cherry, a middle school student nicknamed 'Joseon Beauty', hides her round, flat nose, double eyelids-less eyes, and chubby cheeks with makeup.
I even participated in the 'Teen Self-Esteem UP Camp' at the urging of my mother, but I still had no confidence in my appearance and only improved day by day with the plastic surgery techniques I learned through YouTube.
Then one day, Cherry stops by a cosmetics store on her way home from school. As she looks at the mirror on the new cosmetics case, she is suddenly sucked into a place like a black hole.
When I suddenly came to my senses, the scenery around me and my clothes had changed awkwardly. Was this Joseon?
Princess Hyoyeon has the looks that would make her world-famous if she lived in the 21st century.
But to the eyes of the Joseon people, she just looks ugly.
Even young children on the streets sing songs teasing Princess Hyoyeon by calling her ugly.
As such, Princess Hyoyeon attempted an extreme measure due to her appearance complex, and as a result suffered from aphasia.
So, one day, Cherry, a Joseon-style beauty of the same age who suddenly appeared before his eyes, could not possibly look pretty.
Cherry must complete the mission to open Princess Hyoyeon's tightly shut mouth and return home.
Princess Hyoyeon feels like Cherry, who constantly tries to get closer to her, is just making fun of her ugly appearance.
The relationship between the two people is not getting any closer and is only creaking.
But as they get to know each other's true feelings, they gradually open their hearts and realize that there is more to beauty than appearance.
"Joseon Gain Salon" depicts the journey of two girls who have lost confidence in the midst of the different beauty standards demanded by society, comforting and consoling each other's pain and finding their true selves.
The author portrayed the growth of a 21st century girl and a Joseon Dynasty girl through the process of recovering their self-esteem.
The story of characters breaking down society's prejudices and standards regarding appearance and creating their own unique beauty is an engaging exploration of the concerns of teenagers: "Who am I, and what am I truly good at?"
If there is lookism in Korea,
Joseon had a system of physiognomy!
The individualism of a 21st-century girl who turned the world upside down
Will striving to change my appearance to fit the standards others consider "pretty" make me happy? If so, how pretty do I need to be to be happy? Appearance issues are a common concern among teenagers.
Adolescent girls look at their faces in the mirror several times a day and think about how they want to be prettier than they are now.
Unlike the celebrities on TV and the glamorous social media stars, my appearance feels beyond ordinary and ugly, which makes me feel unnecessarily dissatisfied with my current appearance.
Makeup has become a basic necessity for teenagers these days, and even plastic surgery is an option if they want it.
『Joseon Gain Salon』 pointed out that appearance issues are not something that only exist in modern times.
The social phenomenon of the Joseon Dynasty, which placed importance on physiognomy, is not much different from today, when people are evaluated based on their appearance.
The author conveys her message through the extraordinary experiences of an ordinary 21st century middle school girl who is insecure about her appearance and accidentally travels to the Joseon Dynasty.
Cherry and Princess Hyoyeon, who seem to have been born in the wrong era, represent the appearance complex that teenagers feel.
At the center of the process of two people growing in their own ways is ‘self-identity.’
By looking at myself from a new perspective of individuality, I find my own light, having been unable to grow because I was oppressed by other people's standards.
This work encourages us to step away from the gaze of others and look a little more deeply at ourselves through our own eyes.
The synergy created by Cherry and Princess Hyoyeon will be a time to let go of the stereotypes about appearance that have been confining us so far and find our own uniqueness.
Author's Note
There seems to be no time when anyone is as sensitive about their appearance as adolescence.
As I was thinking about how I could free young people from appearance issues, my thoughts reached back to the Joseon Dynasty.
I came to think that today's lookism is not much different from the Joseon Dynasty's emphasis on physiognomy.
And I even began to imagine that even during the Joseon Dynasty, there must have been young people who suffered from the so-called 'physiognomy' and appearance complex.
I hope that young people will find some solace in the fact that, although the degree may vary, a similar mindset to lookism has existed in every era.
Furthermore, I would be even happier if we realized that the way to cultivate true beauty is to cultivate our own innate individuality, increase our self-esteem, and find things we enjoy and are good at, rather than following uniform standards of beauty.
