Better known as the “Seohyun Station Brush,” from when the CEO used to sell the brushes at a kiosk outside the subway station, these “hidden gem” cosmetic brushes are one of the biggest “IYKYK”-type products among Korean MUAs and makeup fans.

So when, out of nowhere, the Hollywood star Zendaya appeared in Ancci’s Instagram stories…

…Koreans could not hide their confusion!
The stories, claiming that the store was “blessed” by Zendaya’s visit, showed the DUNE movie star posing in a selfie with the two employees who were attending the store.

Based on Zendaya’s previous interviews and other content, capturing her passion for doing her own makeup, Koreans guessed that she must have heard about the brush store when it went viral on different social media platforms—and decided to pick some up for herself while she was visiting Korea to promote her new blockbuster movie!
Not much has been disclosed about what goodies Zendaya picked up on the day of her visit…

Who told her about them?!” “What the frick?! How does she know about Ancci???” “Whoa, how does she know about this place?! LOL. But then again, this store is actually pretty popular. My friends from Japan are also into makeup and they always stop by to grab brushes. Haha.” “The store is in Hongdae. LOL. Is Zendaya still in Korea, though? It looks like she’s getting the most out of her sightseeing time here.” “I wonder if she has friends in Korea.” “WTF? How does she know about the Seohyun Station brushes…?” “What?!” “WTF.” “Huh??? Wait, is Zendaya a makeup girly???”
