Fact check: Is True Beauty Season 2 confirmed? Inside the viral claims about Moon Ga Young and Cha Eun Woo's hit drama

True Beauty Season 2: True Beauty remains one of the most beloved K-dramas even four years after its release. Starring Moon Ga Young, ASTRO¡¯s Cha Eun Woo, and Hwang In Youp, the show still holds a special place in the hearts of global fans. Recently, a new report has been going viral on social media, especially TikTok, claiming that True Beauty has officially been confirmed for Season 2. But is there any truth to it? Let¡¯s break it down.

What True Beauty is all about

The story follows Lim Ju Kyung (Moon Ga Young), a high school girl who has long struggled with insecurities about her appearance. After relentless bullying, she learns the power of makeup and reinvents herself at a new school, where she crosses paths with Lee Su Ho (Cha Eun Woo) and Han Seo Jun (Hwang In Yeop). The drama explores her journey through friendship, romance, and self-acceptance as she learns to embrace who she is, makeup or not.

True Beauty wasn¡¯t a huge hit in Korea, but a global fan favourite

Though the drama didn¡¯t pull record-breaking numbers in South Korea, it became a massive international success. Released during the peak of the pandemic, True Beauty gave viewers a lighthearted escape and quickly gained a cult following across the globe. Its webtoon origin, strong character arcs, and heartfelt storytelling struck a chord, especially with younger audiences.

TikTok sparked a wave of True Beauty Season 2 hype

The current True Beauty Season 2 buzz can be traced back to a viral TikTok posted by @kdrama_flex, which claimed that a second season had been confirmed. The video used scenes from Season 1 and repackaged them as a ¡°trailer,¡± even listing a fake release date of December. Despite getting hundreds of thousands of views, the video offered no real source or production updates.

Some reports say it¡¯s possible¡ªbut nothing¡¯s official

Over the years, scattered reports have suggested that production for a second season was in discussion. Some speculated it could follow the completed Webtoon storyline. But so far, no official announcement has been made by tvN, the production team, or any of the lead actors. No casting, scripts, or filming updates have surfaced either.

Since the end of the drama in 2021, none of the lead actors nor the network have hinted at revisiting the series. Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Hwang In Youp have moved on to other major projects, and there¡¯s been no buzz from industry insiders to suggest True Beauty Season 2 is in active development.

Fact-check verdict: Is True Beauty Season 2 on the cards?

Despite what¡¯s trending on TikTok, True Beauty Season 2 has not been confirmed. The rumours are based on fan edits and misleading videos. The only official continuation is an anime adaptation, which has no ties to the original K-drama cast.
