She said, "Lately I'm into nude lips that still look lively. I start with a lip balm to hydrate, then layer other lip products." She also mentioned she always carries a lip pencil because she likes to overline, which helps her make the upper lip appear fuller.

"I wish my upper lip looked a little fuller," she admitted. "Philtrum reduction would help, but it's not an easy procedure."

"Wouldn't I have to take a break from YouTube after surgery?" she asked. "I heal slowly—just one procedure can take a long time, so I'd probably need about a year and a half off." Her frank estimate drew attention.

For now, she said she's addressing the look with makeup rather than surgery, a practical choice given her schedule.

Meanwhile, Go Jun-hee continues to engage fans on her YouTube channel with fashion, beauty, and daily-life content.
