They were supposed to have minimal makeup put for a 'natural' look, but he was made to wear plenty of eyeliner nonetheless.
Because he looked glum, Haneul skid to him on his swiveling chair. "It's okay," he said, "It's guyliner."
Lain had to smile at that, even though it was old. Then he saw his nails were being painted black, for some sort of goth rocker look, and his smile faded.
"It's malepolish."
Lain grinned, giving Haneul a noogie. "Thanks."
Haneul ducked away. "Hey, they just did my hair!"
When they took their places on the set, they introduced themselves, and were asked about the concept of the album. "We debuted with a sweet image, now with this album we're having a change of image," said Ju-Kan. "Into something more... fierce and cool."
"More manly?" said the MC.
"More manly," agreed Ju-Kan.
"Lain showed that image quite... suddenly and thoroughly in last night's concert in Daejeon."
Lain cast his eyes down, his neck burning. How was he supposed to respond to that? That's when he realized they were playing a clip. He stared, horrified, as his part of the tension escalator was replayed. The MC was going "OH!", enjoying it, Haneul and Ju-Kan echoing him. With effort, Lain controlled himself from covering his face with his hands.
"We'll hope for PeterPan to become even more popular since they are so good at fanservice," said the MC. Turning to Lain, he continued, "Ah, but we're not so ready to let go of your previous image. You'll dance to girl group songs!"
Haneul cheered. Lain's nervous system was electronically communicating threats to himself, Haneul, and the MC.
"But first, we'll have a random dance! We'll play bits of your songs and you'll have to dance correctly to those parts!"
Well, his doom was delayed, at least.

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.
