            Chapters

            • 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction The chapter titled 'Introduction' discusses the possibility of achieving a significant personal transformation, or 'glow-up,' in just seven days, akin to Sunjin Wu's transformation. The narrator claims to have personal experience with such a transformation, despite previously resembling a dedicated 'Valerant tryhard.' The common belief is that this kind of change requires months, but the narrator insists it can be done in a week by following a specific 7-day plan. This plan is designed to help individuals transition from being socially awkward or less confident, likened to a 'sweaty anime nerd,' to becoming more confident and attractive.
            • 00:30 - 01:30: Day One: Haircut The chapter titled 'Day One: Haircut' discusses the transformative power of changing one's hairstyle as part of a personal 'glow up.' It emphasizes the importance of adopting a stronger mindset, shifting from feelings of inadequacy to confidence. The text suggests starting the transformation strongly by focusing on the hairstyle, citing Sunjun Wu's dramatic change from a shaggy haircut to an impressive tube as an example.
            • 01:30 - 03:00: Day Two: Aesthetic On the second day, the focus is on aesthetics, specifically, choosing the right haircut to enhance your look. The key to a successful haircut is selecting one that complements your face shape and counteracts distinct facial features. For instance, a textured fringe could cover a larger forehead, longer hair can add width to a long face, and a buzz cut might be suitable for those experiencing balding. The central principle is to enhance your appearance by making thoughtful style choices, with more advice promised in future content.
            • 03:00 - 04:30: Day Three: Skincare The chapter discusses finding the right hairstyle, emphasizing the importance of consulting with your barber to choose one suitable for you. It humorously dismisses the blowout taper style as undesirable. A good haircut is likened to finding a rare treasure, significantly improving one's appearance and confidence. The chapter also mentions the role of quality hair products in enhancing one's look.
            • 04:30 - 05:30: Day Four: Jawline and Hydration The chapter 'Day Four: Jawline and Hydration' focuses on enhancing one's appearance and style as a part of a 'glow up' journey.
            • 05:30 - 07:00: Day Five: Grooming and Cologne The chapter titled 'Day Five: Grooming and Cologne' focuses on enhancing personal style by drawing inspiration from favorite characters. It suggests observing the attire and overall vibe of admired personalities, especially those from anime, to curate a desired aesthetic. This includes considering accessories, hairstyles, and specific fashion elements such as black dress shirts or jewelry, akin to the dark and edgy style of Sunjun Woo. Platforms like Pinterest are recommended for visualizing and refining one's style choices, aligning clothing and grooming to create a unique and cool personal vibe.
            • 07:00 - 09:00: Day Six: Personality Glow-Up Chapter 'Day Six: Personality Glow-Up' focuses on the journey of self-realization and the boost in confidence that comes with discovering one's personal style and aesthetic. It encourages readers to experiment with different clothing styles to express their personality, using simple, stylish outfit suggestions like black chinos and a white tee. The chapter emphasizes the impact of personal style on confidence, urging readers not to conform to trends (e.g., avoiding brand obsession like Supreme) but to find what personally suits them to achieve a 'personality glow-up.'
            • 09:00 - 13:30: Day Seven: Socializing The chapter 'Day Seven: Socializing' discusses how to level up your style using simple layering techniques, complementary colors, and accessories such as silver jewelry. The speaker suggests combinations like a black top, dress shirt, or jacket over basic wear to create an appealing look. A personal favorite mentioned is the Venom Fang pendant from Nani America, the video sponsor.
            • 13:30 - 14:30: Conclusion: Mental Glow-Up In this concluding chapter titled 'Mental Glow-Up', the focus shifts to fashion accessories, particularly pendants that make a statement in everyday wear. The narrator emphasizes the significance of these pendants in enhancing personal style, highlighting the intricate design and high-quality material of a specific pendant inspired by the 'Solo Leveling' series. This pendant, known as the Venom Fang, captures attention with its detailed craftsmanship and durability, making it a staple accessory that doesn't compromise on style or quality. The narrative underscores the transformation these pieces bring to one's attire, symbolizing a 'mental glow-up' through personal expression and fashion innovation.

            How To Become The Main Character in 7 Days (follow this plan) Transcription

            • 00:00 - 00:30 It only takes 7 days to achieve an S-rank glow-up just like Sunjin Wu. You heard me right. With just one week of hard work, you can level up in real life and emerge a completely different person. And as somebody who used to look like a Valerant tryard, I think I know what I'm talking about. See, a lot of people believe that a glow up like this would take months to achieve. But in reality, it doesn't have to take that long. So, even if you are a complete noob, if you just follow the steps laid out in the 7-day plan, you'll go from sweaty anime nerd to a more confident, more attractive or a farming anime nerd,
            • 00:30 - 01:00 just like some jibl. Of course, without the cold, unfeilling killer mindset, which forces you to become stronger than you are because you feel you are inadequate and can never satisfy the need to be strong and you will never live up to anyone's expectations. No promises, though. So, to kick day one off strong, let's tackle the part of the glow up that's going to make the most significant changes to your overall look. Part of the reason Sunjun Wu glowed up so much was because he went from like a shaggy haircut to a gorgeous tube. God damn.
            • 01:00 - 01:30 Which is why on day one, you're going to want to get a fresh cut. But what haircut should you actually get if you want to glow up? Generally, you want to pick a haircut that complements your face shape and contrasts any of your stronger facial features. So, if you have a big forehead, you might want to cover that up with a textured fringe or a tub look. Got a long face? Grow your hair out. Add some width to it. Are you balding? That sucks. Go for a buzz cut. I can go on and on about hair, but I'll probably save that for another video. And if you're still not sure, you can
            • 01:30 - 02:00 always just go for one of the trendy hairstyles and ask your barber which one they think would suit you the best. I'll put a list of some of them on screen, except the blowout taper. I hate the blowout taper. Dumbass Tik Tok boy here. Get that get that hell in my face. Finding the right haircut for you is like finding a rare piece of Lutin of dungeon. It feels amazing. You instantly look better and you get a new level of confidence. And with a high quality shampoo and conditioner, plus a little bit of styling product, you're going to be looking better in no time. So, now that you have a hairstyle that actually suits you, your appearance is going to
            • 02:00 - 02:30 be dramatically better. But now, we need to give the rest of your looks and personality and start glowing up your style, which is what day two is all about. So, one of the first things you'll need to do is pick an aesthetic. But why? How do you think Sunjin Wu went from a dorky weak loser to a sexy Korean gigachen? By changing his aesthetic and creating a more dark, mysterious vibe, Jyn Wu was able to take his glow up to a whole new level by just changing what he wears. But the question is, how do you pick the right aesthetic? Well, believe it or not, you probably already have. You, an anime nerd, have probably looked
            • 02:30 - 03:00 at some of your favorite characters and thought, "Damn, I like this guy's vibe. He's so cool. I want to be just like him." So, take your favorite anime character and just look at what does he wear? What vibe does he give off? Does he wear any accessories? You can even use this to pick a haircut you like. And to make things easier, you can go to sites like Pinterest to give examples of what you would wear for your desired aesthetic. Just as an example, I like Sunjun Woo's dark and edgy aesthetic. So, I'll probably go for darker clothes, like a black dress shirt or even a well- fitted long sleeve with some nice jewelry. And when your look and style
            • 03:00 - 03:30 just click together like that, that's the moment you realize, damn, I'm a pretty cool guy. You achieve a whole new level of confidence and everyone notices. But let's say you have no clue what aesthetic to go with. You don't know what clothes to wear and you have no idea what vibe you want to be. So here is a simple outfit idea that will turn you from Sun Jin Woo to Sun Drip. You don't have to buy Supreme though. Don't don't bother with Supreme. Go for a nice pair of black chinos, straight cut, not too tight. And then put on a nice white tea. This could be loose or fitted, textured or untextured, whatever
            • 03:30 - 04:00 you want. And over that, layer some form of black top. This could be a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up or just some sort of jacket. And to round it all off, add some nice silver jewelry and boom, you got a simple but pretty good looking outfit. With just some simple layering, some complimentary colors, you can easily level up your style, especially if you add some nice jewelry. One of my personal favorites is this Venom Fang pendant from Nani America, which is the sponsor of today's video. This is legit one of the coolest
            • 04:00 - 04:30 pendants that I've ever seen or ever worn. And I pretty much wear these pendants every single day because they're so cool and they level up every single outfit that I wear. And this Venom Fang one from Solo Leveling is super detailed. You can legit see all of the intricate patterns and it's got the spikes, the blade. It's just like an exact replica from the show, only of course smaller and put on a necklace. Plus, the material is super high quality, so you're not going to worry about it bending, breaking, or turning your neck green. That's not going to
            • 04:30 - 05:00 happen. But it's not just a pendant. You can also get Venom Fang themed earrings or even rings, bracelets, and pendants from other anime. But wait, there's more.

It's only been two days, but on day three, we need to start fixing that mess you call a face.
            • 05:30 - 06:00 Just kidding. I know you're not that ugly. Now, the first step to cleaning up that face is to actually cleaning up that face with some form of skincare routine. But unlike everyone else you see on the internet with a 10, 20step skincare routine, I keep mine very simple with just three steps. Step one, wash off the dirt, sweat, and dead skin from your face with some form of facial cleanser. Step two, full restore your face with a moisturizer of some sort. And step three, bolster your face's defense by wearing some form of
            • 06:00 - 06:30 sunscreen to defend against sun damage. And that's literally it. It may seem simple, but just doing these three things is going to have a lot more of an impact on your appearance than you think. But you might be asking, how did I get my skincare to be so simple? Well, everyone else has this stupid 100step routine. See, one of the reasons I have good skin, if I do say so myself, without buying any expensive serums, applying a boatload of cream, or doing whatever Passion Hall does every morning, is because I'm more focused on what goes in my body rather than on my
            • 06:30 - 07:00 body. So, simply cleaning up your diet and getting rid of all of the junk is the best way to dramatically increase the quality of your skin. And just keep it simple. Stick to whole foods and avoid all the processed junk like refined sugar, flour, and of course, fast food. And once you do this for a week, you're going to start seeing significant changes. You're going to be a lot less bloated, revealing that gorgeous solo leveling chin. Your face is going to look a lot less red, and you'll actually stop getting pimples and breakouts. Such witchcraft. No more pimples for you. So, don't bother investing in these expensive skincare
            • 07:00 - 07:30 products. Start investing in the quality of your food, and you're going to start seeing a big dramatic change. But to really improve that face overnight, there's an even simpler thing you can do, and that's getting proper sleep. It's the equivalent of Sunjin Wu getting a full recovery or replenishing his stamina. With proper sleep, the bags under your eyes are going to slowly disappear and the quality of your skin, the wrinkles, the thinness, the palenness is all going to go away. So, stop late night doom scrolling. Stop playing League until 2:00 a.m. And if you're in bed right now watching this video, stop. And I promise that once you
            • 07:30 - 08:00 start getting 7 hours of sleep every night for a week, you're going to see a huge difference. So, now your face is starting to look pretty good, but we still need to improve the overall facial structure. And that's what day four is all about. So, if you want to start mogging the haters, showing off that incredible jawline, you need to think about tongue posture. The correct tongue posture involves keeping the tongue glued to the roof of your mouth with your teeth lightly clutched. By doing this, you'll be tightening the chin, instantly, giving you a much sharper jawline. And if you can keep this up for a week, a month, or even years, it's
            • 08:00 - 08:30 actually going to restructure your face to make it look a lot more aesthetic. But having an amazing jawline is useless if your face is bloated like this. Simply put, if you're holding on to extra water, your face is going to look more puffy and you're not going to be able to show off that amazing jawline. There are tons of ways to solve this, but my favorite, because it's stupidly simple, is just to drink more water. By staying properly hydrated, your body's water retention is going to go down. So, you're going to not be holding as much water in your face, which will result in your face looking a lot leaner and your jawline sharper. But, you can have the most handsome, gorgeous face in the
            • 08:30 - 09:00 world. It's all useless if you either have too much fat around your face or your body is as skinny as he ranks on Denmoon. which is why it's just as important to start hopping on a good workout routine, obviously, right? It goes without saying that having a good workout routine is going to help you look so much better. You're losing fat. You're building muscle. It's all good. You probably already know why working out is really good for a glow up. So, I'm not going to go into too much detail about it. But, if you'd like to learn how you can achieve an anime level physique at home without any weights, then check out the link in the description. There you'll discover a
            • 09:00 - 09:30 specific way of training that over 500 plus guys are using right now to achieve their sunglow. Guys who are skinny, guys who are overweight, and guys with no training experience are all putting on strength and muscle faster than ever before with this method. And some of them are doing it in as little as 2 days a week. So there's no reason why you can't do it, too. So if you want to go beyond the quick glow up that you're going to get from this video and get a truly massive glow up that makes you unrecognizable, then check it out below. Now everything's starting to come together and you're starting to look like the anime character you've always
            • 09:30 - 10:00 wanted to be. And honestly, you could stop here and be okay. But if you want to take your glow up from C rank all the way to Srank, you'll want to pay attention to day five because here is where we tackled the smaller changes that can make a huge impact. First of all, clean up those damn nails. Cut them down short, remove all the gunk, and file them smooth. Next, take some Vaseline. Did he chill? And use it on your cuticles to manage those hang nails. You can even use them on your lips so that they're not so cracked and dry. And you can use them on your eyebrows to make them thicker. I don't do that because my eyebrows are pretty much caterpillars over my eyes. And last
            • 10:00 - 10:30 but not least, wear some form of deodorant or try not to smell bad because if you've got body odor, it's going to ruin everything. None of all this work is going to be going to waste. But if you want to do better than just not smelling bad, I do this a lot. I need to stop. But if you want to do better than not smelling bad, then it's worth considering getting some form of clone. Now, I think it's optional. It's honestly worth more effort to smell clean rather than to smell like spices and whatever flowers. But for those who do want to take their glow up to the next level, finding the right cologne could be the next best step. I recommend just getting two types. A nice warm
            • 10:30 - 11:00 spicy one for the cold weather and a nice citrusy light one for warm weather. And it doesn't have to be that expensive either. Smelling good just tells people, "Hey, I'm a put together guy." And it tells their monkey brain, "Ooh, he smell good. He healthy guy. He very breachable." Again, it's 100% optional, but if you choose to wear cologne, it's just going to make your glow up a whole lot better. Lastly, you want to manage the hair that's not on top of your head, if you know what I mean. Pluck the unwanted hairs between your eyebrows. Clean up that facial hair, whether that's clean shaven or you're trying to grow out a beard. Please don't ask me
            • 11:00 - 11:30 about beards. I I cannot grow one. I have a soup strainer for a mustache and basically long whiskers for a beard. And guys, start manscaping. Nobody likes a full bush. Maybe some of you like a full bush. It may seem small, the steps, not your full bush, but these minor changes can really make or break your blow up. Just imagine some Jane with a unibrow. Oh, hell no. Not good. It's day six and you're already starting to look much better than you did day one. But we still have a problem. It's not enough just to have a physical glow up. You need a personality glow up, too. Like,
            • 11:30 - 12:00 could you imagine Sunjin Wu? He looks amazing. He's super sexy guy. But imagine he was still E- rank, had basically none of his strength, and he didn't do dungeons all day. He just sat around playing League of Legends. He'd be boring as hell, and it would ruin his glow-up. Luckily, this can easily be remedied by just starting an interesting copy. But you might be asking, what hobbies are interesting? Well, the answer is simple. The most interesting hobby to take up is one you actually find a genuine interest in. Seriously, if you just take up a hobby that you
            • 12:00 - 12:30 personally find awesome and you express that passion to other people, it's going to reflect in the way you speak and it's going to reflect in the way you talk to people. and consider things like art, sports, music, cooking, baking, pottery, modeling, nude modeling, gas station sushi. Uh-oh. It could be any of those things. And if it's League of Legends, let it be League of Legends. If it's watching anime, you guys do that. Let it be that. That's totally fine. When others can see how interested you are in
            • 12:30 - 13:00 something, they will become a lot more interested in you, and you automatically just become more charismatic. And if you really want to level up that personality glow up, start reading some books, start getting into podcasts, become an educated member of society, and you are going to be the greatest, most interesting person in the room. Because charisma plays a really big part in the overall glowup. If you glow up, but you're the guy who stands in the middle of the room like, "Ah, they don't know. I manscaped before coming to this party," you're going to look a little weird. So, you need to learn how to socialize before you go out there and strut your stuff. And that's what day
            • 13:00 - 13:30 seven is going to be about. And the easiest way to get out there and socialize is to actually just get out there and socialize. Yes, I dare suggest you go out and touch grass. Practice makes perfect. So, just go walk outside and start talking to random people you see. If you're strolling on the sidewalk, you see someone walking by, just say, "Hi, how are you?" If you're in a coffee shop or you're at a McDonald's, if you want to go to a McDonald's, just strike up a conversation with the guy at the counter or the girl at the counter. Even if it's just like a hi, how you doing? Oh, I'm good. How are you? I'm good. That's
            • 13:30 - 14:00 fine. That works. Look, this may seem daunting to do, but if you did everything right leading up to day seven, you're going to have a confidence that you've never had before, and that's going to help you go out there and start talking to people and start socializing. And if you do all this in just one week, you're going to look better than you ever have, walking around with confidence you probably never had, all because you are an anime fan and you watched this video. However, there's one more part we need to glow up if you truly want to become the protagonist of your own story, and that's the mental
            • 14:00 - 14:30 glow up. And the best way to start glowing up mentally is becoming more cool, more calm, and a lot more stoic. Basically, become Gojo. And in case you do want to be more like Gojo and adopt his chill guy persona, you can check out this video right
