In December 2023, the female idol surprised K-pop fans by revealing her piercings, which were a stark contrast to her usual image of vibrant and polished visuals.

In regards to this, Joy proceeded to explain the motivation behind her decision to get piercings, recounting:

“I’m actually scared of piercings because I’m a very timid person. Other than the two on my earlobes, I don’t have any. But when I filmed the music video for ‘Chill Kill,’ my makeup artist suggested that I get piercings.”

Afterwards, Joy expressed her emotions and ideas from that moment, stating:

“Piercings make me have that languid and decadent look for no reason. I developed that kind of attitude and thought, ‘I’m doing this for the fun of it,’ but I don’t plan on getting piercings or tattoos in the future anymore because it’s painful.”

Afterwards, Joy responded:

“10 years ago, I didn’t take care of it at all. Now I’m working hard. I try to drink water, don’t eat processed foods, and eat a lot of vegetables and fruits.”Since I have dry skin, moisture is really important, so I only use products containing hyaluronic acid.”

Furthermore, she also disclosed her current scent preference, stating:

“Just as clothes change with the seasons, my taste for perfume also changes with the seasons. Now that it’s spring, I’m drawn to citrus colors.”

Joy’s distinctive approach to using perfume involves spraying it all over her body, starting at the crown of her head and finishing with a light mist on the tips of her hair.

The celebrity shared a helpful tip that spraying perfume on your hair will leave it smelling delightful when it is in motion or when a breeze blows through it.
