Episode 6 of Beauty Newbie begins with Guy’s struggle to find a new apartment in Liu’s building. He struggles as his rival, Saint, who is also trying to woo Liu, happens to live in the same accommodation. The episode then shows Liu as she returns to the university after a short break due to her old photos leaking previously.

After discussing the perfume she gave him, the two come across Ann, who offers to go on a trip as the university fair comes around.
Ann then shows Guy and Liu the chemistry department’s tradition for the fair. The three seem uncomfortable after looking at the Lab Bar photos from previous years and their inappropriate ‘hot servers’ concept. Guy then asks Liu not to help with the fair and says, “If someone asks you to help, it means that person has ill intentions.” Right after his warning, Faye approaches the group and asks for Liu’s help. She turns down her request and shows how revealing the outfits are.
Faye then appears to seem lost during their class. She hurts her hand when Liu tries to hand her a beaker, but Faye drops it. Liu and Mimi ask Faye what’s bothering her. She shares that she promised to help find servers for their booth for the fair. Seeing their friend in such a troubled state, Liu and Mimi decide to help her.
Beauty Newbie episode 6 recap: What happened with Liu at the university fair?
Liu and Mimi agree to help Faye at the Lab Bar if they change their outfits. The three then join the meeting for the fair. The team ends up feeling uncomfortable after their senior Third’s inappropriate comments on the girls’ appearances.
Liu, Faye, and Mimi then give their measurements in the hopes that their outfit design is going to be changed. However, Faye has had a different plan all along. She told the seniors that nobody wanted to volunteer at Lab Bar if they didn’t change their outfits. Faye then shows them an alternative, and surprisingly, they agree.
Then comes the day of the fair, and the girls are shocked to see that their outfits are still revealing. Lab Bar attracts more customers after Third shares photos of Liu, Faye, and Mimi as hot servers on social media. Then comes Faye’s plan in action. She tells Third that the boys at the table are being inappropriate towards her. He sends Liu to serve those boys and says, “She’s all plastic. A bit of staring and touching wouldn’t tarnish her.”
Liu is caught in a distressing situation as she is forced to serve the “perverted customers.” She tells Third that the boys “stared at her legs” and secretly took her photographs. However, Third disregards her discomfort and tells Liu, “The more photos they take, the higher sales they’ll get.”
The images then quickly spread on social media. Ann then calls Guy and tells him what is happening with Liu at the fair. Guy, who is about to sign the apartment contract in Liu’s building, drops everything and rushes to the university. When the customers start to hold Liu’s hand inappropriately, he gets there and protects her.
Liu is shocked when she comes across the disgusting comments about her appearance on social media after the fair. Guy tries to stay by her side, but she storms out of the cafe. Liu breaks down in tears when she gets home.
