Kim Jangmi, who appeared on Heartsignal 2, and Yang Hyunji, who appeared as Youngsook in the 22nd season of I Solo, performed a mini-show.
After receiving so much public attention through the show, the two were living a “celebrity life,” and the constant scrutiny naturally made them think about their smiles and image. They eventually came to the same conclusion: a way to smile confidently.
💍 Jangmi Kim “I wanted to be the prettiest version of myself for my wedding shoot.”
Kim, who has become a beloved influencer since appearing on The Voice, recently celebrated another life event when he got married. While preparing for his wedding, he said he had been interested in Minish for a long time.
But while it was always a “maybe someday” kind of thing, when the day of the wedding and standing in front of a crowd of guests came around, the weight of the decision became much more pressing.
“Wedding photos last a lifetime, and I can’t retouch the ones with my guests, so I wanted to be able to smile confidently in any moment.”
For her, the minish was a crucial choice for the most beautiful day of her life. The biggest change she noticed after the minish was feeling “natural”.
“I was relieved to have very few teeth removed, and they didn’t look too different from my natural teeth because they weren’t artificial. Every time I smile, I think, ‘Oh, they did a great job.'”
She also said she’s gotten a lot of compliments on how she looks softer and “nicer” when she meets adults, especially from her husband, who was against it.
“My husband, who initially asked me why I was doing it, looked at the wedding photos and said one thing: ‘You did a great job.’ I think that says it all.”
When asked if he would recommend it to people getting married, he was adamant.
“I can say this with real confidence, my biggest concern was the amount of teeth I had removed and whether it would look artificial, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out, and it doesn’t look too different from my original teeth. I think it’s a great option for anyone who’s about to have a big moment in their life.”
“The camera was so good… it made my complexes stand out more.”
He made a splash as the 22nd season of “I’m a Solo,” and since then, he has continued to pursue various activities. However, as his schedule became more demanding, from frequent close-ups on screen to acting, which he is currently studying, he said that his teeth began to bother him at some point.
His dental problems were more than just aesthetic. A history of having his lower teeth shaved off as a child due to malocclusion treatment, tooth fractures from strong bruxism, grinding, eating habits, and small impacts had caused his molars to chip and erode over time.
“When I smile, my molars look hollow when I take a sideways shot, and I don’t know if anyone pointed it out to me, but it’s very visible.”
But as the camera captured the details, even the smallest imperfections started to become more noticeable, and as I became more active outside, I realized, “If I don’t fix it now, it’s going to continue to stress me out,” which led me to Minish.
“I liked the fact that Minish can be used without having to remove a lot of teeth, and it’s actually stronger than my existing teeth, and it can be done on molars. I didn’t want to do anything that would require removing a lot of teeth.”
The biggest change after Minish wasn’t just the shape or appearance of her teeth. The biggest change was “the confidence to smile with confidence.
“You made my small teeth a little bigger, and they look so pretty on the screen, and they don’t bother me at all when I sing or laugh out loud, and the chattering is gone.”
He had one last candid comment.
“I only have one regret: I wish I hadn’t.”
