Hyun-a, a member of girl group 4 Minute, caused stir among TV viewers and netizens with her impromptu lipstick makeup on television show Tuesday night.

The incident happened on cable channel Mnet’s talk show program Beetles Code 3D.

The seemingly innocent makeup had hilarious a zing to it because she for a second appeared confused as to whether she was in a washroom or recording a television program.

The misdeed’s highlight came when the program’s co-host Shin Dong promptly parodied the lipstick makeup as he talked, which apparently embarrassed Hyun-a.

What led to the whole kerfuffle in the first place was Shin’s interest in members of the group if they ever go out on dates.

Hyun-a replied that the president of her agency welcomes the idea as it serves up to tabloids involving her group.

It was at this very moment when she began to put on the lipstick, as if her sexy lip speaks for itself when dating becomes a subject of a conversation.
