XIUMIN – 1st Mini Album: Brand New (Photobook Ver.)

Korean buyers on the brand's official store mostly say this low-sugar sauce tastes close to regular Korean seasoned-chicken sauce and pairs well with chicken breast. Opinions on sweetness differ: some find it moderate, others clearly sweet, and a few call the flavour mild or a little thin.

Korean readers say volume 2 is an easy, film-like read that centres on Sejong's lonely struggle with his ministers to create Hangul, and many find it moving. A few felt it was flatter than volume 1, wanted a quicker pace or more aftermath, or found the author's themes familiar.

Korean readers mostly describe volume 1 as a quick, absorbing read that plays out like a period drama about the creation of Hangul. The opening leans heavily on romance, which some find welcoming and others slow, and several note that the main story only takes shape in volume 2.

Korean readers of this revised edition are mostly people returning to a novel they loved years ago, and they say it remains gripping and fast to read. Newcomers describe the mix of history and mystery as engaging enough to move straight to volume 2. One reader had reservations about the restrained resolution.

Korean buyers describe a creamy, moist contour stick in grey tones without yellow or red that gives a soft, natural shadow and covers the jawline quickly with its wide tip. The same softness draws criticism: the stick dents or squashes easily, pigment is sheer and can fade, and several users found it shifts base makeup or needs powder to set.

Korean buyers on the brand's official store describe this low-sugar chipotle sauce as mildly spicy, rich and versatile for sandwiches, wraps, salads and chicken breast, and several say it does not taste like a diet product. A minority found it sweeter or more intense than expected, or questioned the calories.

Korean reviewers describe a very soft, clear sun stick with a powdery, non-sticky, shine-free finish that is easy to reapply on the face, neck and arms, and several parents and sensitive-skinned users called it mild. The softness cuts both ways: many said the stick smears or crumbles under pressure and can pill, and dry skin may find it drying.

Korean buyers describe a mild everyday foam cleanser that lathers richly from a small amount and rinses clean without much tightness. Dry, oily and combination skin users all report a comfortable finish, and several are repeat buyers. The scent is faint and natural. Reviewers agree it is not a makeup remover: heavy or waterproof makeup needs a first cleanser.

Korean buyers describe a thin, mousse-like blur tint that sets to a soft matte finish, smooths lip lines and gives a cooling, tingling plumping sensation. Nude shades such as Bare Lock and Misty Lock are often used as a base lip. Reservations are about shade accuracy for Misty Lock and Plum Lock, a slippery feel for some, and weak staining for one buyer.

Korean buyers describe this as a light, nearly unscented cream that spreads easily, absorbs fast and stays non-sticky, and many with sensitive or breakout-prone skin report no irritation. The main reservation is moisturising power: several drier or mature-skin users found it not rich enough alone and layered an oil or second cream.

Korean buyers of shade 103 Happy Peony describe a moist liquid blush that blends easily, does not lift base makeup and builds from a soft daily flush to deeper colour. The built-in sponge tip makes amount control and on-the-go use simple. Opinions on the shade vary: some found it redder or more pigmented than expected, one found it sheer.

Korean buyers describe JSOOP Calming Cera Hair Tonic as a light, water-type scalp spray that feels cool and brings quick relief from an itchy, dry scalp without greasiness or flat roots. Several say itching and flaking eased over days of use. Cooling strength is described differently by users, and some had issues with the pump or leaking.

Korean users value this leave-in spray for convenience: sprayed on towel-dried or dry hair, it softens and calms hair without a rinse step. The sweet scent is widely liked, though a few find it too strong.

Korean buyers, mostly men or partners buying for them, describe a lotion-like tinted cream that evens redness and dull tone without looking like makeup and replaces lotion and sunscreen in one step. Coverage is light, and several users said it fades or turns whitish with sweat, can transfer, and leaves a white cast if over-applied.

Recent Korean buyers describe a mild gel that turns into a soft, fine lather and leaves skin moist rather than tight or squeaky, and most use it as a morning cleanser or as a second cleanse. Opinions differ on lather and strength: several said it foams only moderately and a few wanted more cleansing power, and one disliked the scent.
