TRUE BEAUTY – SEASON 2 (2026)
The story of love, self-acceptance, and second chances continues.
Three years after graduation, life has taken Ju-kyung far from the insecure girl she once was. Now a rising webtoon artist, she has gained recognition for a romantic series inspired by her own first love—though the truth behind those pages remains carefully hidden. Fame brings validation, but it also reopens wounds she thought had healed.
Seo-jun, once a rebellious student chasing his dreams, has returned as a global superstar. Success, however, comes at a heavy cost. A major scandal threatens to destroy his carefully built image, forcing him to confront both public judgment and private regrets. When fate brings him back into Ju-kyung’s life, emotions long buried resurface with painful clarity.
Their reunion takes place under intense scrutiny on the set of a popular beauty reality show. Ju-kyung joins as a makeup mentor, guiding contestants through transformations that reflect her own journey of self-confidence. Seo-jun appears as a celebrity judge, charming on the surface but deeply conflicted beneath. With cameras rolling and social media dissecting every glance and word, their unresolved history becomes impossible to ignore.
As old rumors resurface and online speculation spirals out of control, Ju-kyung struggles with a familiar fear—being truly seen. Seo-jun, caught between his public persona and his real emotions, must decide whether love is worth risking everything he has built. The pressure of fame, the weight of misunderstandings, and the fear of heartbreak test them both.
Season 2 dives deeper into themes of identity, self-worth, and the difference between how we present ourselves to the world and who we truly are inside. It explores whether love can survive when it is constantly observed, judged, and distorted by public opinion.
In a world where beauty is curated and emotions are broadcast, one question remains:
Can Ju-kyung and Seo-jun finally be honest—with the world, and with each other?
True Beauty Season 2 promises heartfelt romance, emotional growth, and a powerful reminder that the bravest thing anyone can do is to love without hiding.
