However, her eyeliner is not as thick as before. The same year, she debuted in a duo with former member of B2ST Jang Hyunseung called Trouble Maker. For every performance with Trouble Maker, she wore quite a heavy makeup in contrast to her makeup for “Bubble Pop.” We can see in the photo below that she has put on a bright red lipstick and painted her nails in black. At the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards, their performance brought quite a surprise because even though they had a choreography where they almost kissed, at the award event they really did it in the end.
