reading assumptions about me (modeling, dating life, plastic surgery, etc)

Kelly Kim’s Personal Updates

While getting ready, Kelly Kim responds to viewers’ assumptions and shares personal updates rather than giving a makeup tutorial.

Personality and Home

Kelly describes herself as more Type B than Type A. She can be disorganized, leave food loosely covered in the fridge, and forget to charge things, but generally trusts that she’ll find a solution. She also likes making her home smell like a wellness spa, especially with a candle inspired by a wooden sauna.

She identifies as an INFJ. When advising friends, she sees herself as direct and practical; when traveling or socializing, she tends to be more flexible. For work, she likes making lists and plans.

Dating

Kelly wants to be selective about relationships and is looking for someone who makes her feel safe and stable. She prefers long-term relationships, says she rarely falls for someone but can fall quickly when she does, and doesn’t want to repeat past patterns involving public arguments or jealousy.

She has interviewed for dating shows, including Single’s Inferno, but wasn’t cast. She says the other shows she considered didn’t seem like a good fit.

Modeling and Work

Kelly has been modeling for about three years and is weighing whether to continue. She enjoys working on set, but finds that the industry’s expectation of constant availability can limit her ability to travel and take on social-media work.

Independence and Family

Kelly says she supports herself and has never received an allowance from her parents. She bought her own car in college despite their objections, and now likes helping cover expenses when she travels or eats out with her family. She credits her parents’ careful budgeting with giving her and her sister a comfortable upbringing.

Food and Body Image

Kelly loves eating, especially while traveling, and would rather enjoy meals with other people than restrict food to stay very lean. She says she has experienced both extremes: restricting food and prioritizing feeling skinny, and indulging. Now, she aims to make enjoyable, balanced meals part of her regular lifestyle rather than treating them as a rare exception.

She discourages promoting rapid weight-loss routines based on not eating.

Cosmetic Treatments

Kelly says she hasn’t had major plastic surgery, though she has considered procedures such as a nose job, lip filler, and eyelid surgery. She has tried Juvelook, a collagen-stimulating treatment, and trap Botox, and found both painful. She is also trying Rejuran serum for skin hydration and lines. She notes that makeup can provide alternatives to some cosmetic procedures.

Makeup Products

Kelly praises Dior foundation and a Dior highlighting palette, and especially likes Makeup by Mario’s Smoky Pink lip liner. She also tries a no-glue lash and a Rhode pimple patch.

Other notable references include Los Angeles and Orange County, ENHYPEN (she says she has no personal relationship with its members, though she filmed at their set), and Olive Young’s new Los Angeles store.
