Pros
1. Coverage 5/5: Only the T-zone has a few blemishes and is slightly oily on my dry skin. I've never had any breakouts, so my face is free of any marks. While it may vary from person to person, the coverage was amazing for me. I truly don't think I need any better coverage than this. 2. Longevity 4.5/5: Incredibly long-lasting. However, it doesn't look great when it starts to break down. 3. This is not a hydrating foundation. It's not very dewy, so you need to prep the skin well to prevent it from looking cakey. 4. The shade is beautiful~ It got a bit darker in the summer, but the medium tone is just perfect. 5. The case is quite nice.
Cons
1. The remaining product volume is not visible. 2. It doesn't look great when it starts to break down. 3. Dryness. 4. The accompanying concealer is too matte.

Pros
It's nice when first applied, with good spreadability and a calm color.
Cons
It's not good when it breaks down. There's a floating, cracking feeling to it.

Pros
I have a complex (but dry) skin type, and when my skin gets dry, my nose produces a lot of oil. So I think any foundation would look nice and not break down on my skin that needs good moisture management. The first time I used it was with a sample I got from a department store, and I found that it didn't feel too heavy and my skin didn't feel tight either. It also had decent coverage, so I switched from the Missha Essence Cushion. Lately, I've been applying it with a foundation brush and then patting it in with a puff to help it adhere better. The wear is decent, and my skin looks really natural.
Cons
The downside is that it's not amazingly good, but more like 'this is decent'. While it doesn't happen on my cheeks, the area around my nose can emphasize some flakiness a bit when it starts to break down. Just something to keep in mind.
Tip
I use the Make Up For Ever HD Powder with this, and any foundation I apply immediately mattifies and adheres really well. Of course, it will still move and come off if you rub it with your hands. I really understood why I should use the Make Up For Ever Powder after buying and trying it this time. It makes my skin look amazing! I'd recommend using them together. It's a great combo!

Pros
I tried it based on a friend's recommendation, and the foundation is in a cushion container, so it's good for portability. The lasting power was also decent in the winter.
Cons
In the summer, the lasting power was only 6 hours, and it became messy and crumbled. And the concealer that comes with it, it's better to mix it with the foundation rather than using it alone.

Pros
The makeup looked natural, not too thick, and had decent adhesion.
Cons
The coverage was not as good as expected, and the makeup tended to break down over time.
Tip
Using a third-party puff instead of the included one improved the adhesion.

Pros
I tried the medium foundation sample that came and then bought the full-size (Fairlight) product. It applies a bit matte and the pore coverage is quite good, so I think it will be nice to use as a secondary foundation in the summer. The medium coverage was most impressive - it had less of the thick, stuffy feeling compared to Estée Lauder.
Cons
However, the color is a bit dark, which is why the coverage felt good. I bought the Fairlight shade because the medium was too dark for me. (Normally I mix 21 and 17, or a touch of 13. There's no visible line at the jawline.) The Fairlight coverage is so-so. The color is also not as bright as I'd like by my standards - it's similar to what I normally use. And the longevity and breakdown could be better... I'm not sure it breaks down beautifully. But it's not bad either. And the included puff is not great - it absorbs too much foundation and doesn't give a nice skin finish. The concealer also seems overly abundant compared to the foundation. I don't use concealer much.
Tip
I apply it with a brush, not a liquid type, but a dense, well-structured brush. The hand swatch photo shows Giorgio Armani 2 on top and Jungsaemmool Fairlight foundation on the bottom. The Armani has a bit more of an ivory tone. The brightness is similar, but the Armani is a bit more dewy and luminous, while the Jungsaemmool is more velvety and matte, which might be nice for summer.

Pros
Having a concealer makes it easy to choose colors and cover up troublesome skin. The coverage is excellent, so it's great for troubled skin.
Cons
If you have oily skin, the T-zone can become a bit messy and darkened. With the high coverage, it can look a bit thick when applied.

Pros
The coverage is sufficient to cover the reddish acne scars on my face well. Especially when used in combination with a concealer, it covers them almost completely, which I am very satisfied with. The adhesion is also satisfactory. It adheres well to the skin without peeling or lifting, making the skin look much better. Depending on the application method, it also covers the pores, which is even better. The application is smooth and soft. Some reviews mentioned that it is too yellow, but when I applied it, it was not as yellow or dark as I expected, and it blended naturally with my skin tone (I usually use shades 21-23. My skin is a pinkish white, but it's more of a slightly yellowish white). Except for the breakouts caused by hormonal changes or disrupted life rhythm, there were no breakouts caused by this foundation. I prefer a foundation that is slightly matte on the surface without feeling tight, and this Jungsaemmool foundation fits that preference perfectly. I haven't repurchased it yet because I want to try other foundations, but if I can't find a foundation that suits my skin, I'm considering going back to this Jungsaemmool one.
Cons
The handle of the built-in puff broke too quickly, which was disappointing. So I switched to the Aritaum puff in the middle, and the Aritaum puff was actually more satisfactory. Sometimes, when my skin condition is very poor, it can feel a bit lifted. Especially when I have acne, the affected area can even peel off. (But I think this would be the case with any cosmetic product.) Even though the adhesion and coverage are good, it's important to do regular exfoliation, and it will be even better if you apply it after that. Also, when layered multiple times, it feels a bit heavy, which is a bit disappointing (however, since a thin application provides sufficient coverage, this drawback is somewhat compensated). Additionally, the amount of concealer is very small, which is very disappointing. Since they sell the concealer separately, I'm considering repurchasing the concealer alone.

Pros
I was wondering if I should try the foundation, and I ended up buying a beginner-friendly foundation product. And the challenge was a success!! It's a perfect match for my skin tone, and it even comes with a concealer (and I think there was a blush and cream when I bought it, but I can't remember for sure) - it's such a great value for the price, I'm so happy with it!! No more blemishes either! If you're just starting out with foundation like me, I'd really recommend giving the Jaseumul one a try! Oh, and this one doesn't have any shine, it's matte, and it's good for oily skin!
Cons
The only downside is that it does tend to break down a bit...?? And the built-in puff, the part where you put your fingers, fell off for me haha ㅠㅠㅠ so sad about that
Tip
It really opened my eyes to how little foundation you actually need to use!
