Kim Tae Hee Considered to be one of South Korea’s most
beautiful women with her classic and elegant beauty, Kim Tae Hee had made notable appearances
in widely popular dramas, including ‘Stairway to Heaven’, ‘Love Story in Harvard’,
‘Iris’, and most recently, ‘Hi Bye, Mama!’.
To the Koreans, Kim Tae Hee’s beauty is basically unmatched, and yet, the actress
isn’t too fond of her own look.
In an promotional interview for the Japanese series ‘99 Days With the Star’, the actress
said: “Compared to the past, I had become less beautiful because of wrinkles.”
She also dismissed her natural beauty, claiming that it’s cosmetics that makes her beautiful.
Previously, while filming the Kdrama series ‘IRIS’, the actress also expressed concern
for her mouth shape.
She shared that she had a complex about pouting her mouth too much or not closing it all the
way, adding that she was worried about “not looking pretty enough”.
Thankfully, as time passes, Kim Tae Hee has grown more confident about herself.
“Aging is such a natural thing.
Even if I become less attractive, I want to be more natural and comfortable in acting
and otherwise”, she said in an interview with the fashion magazine ‘Elle’.
Lee Min Ho It has been over a decade since Lee Min Ho
had his breakthrough with the massive hit ‘Boys Over Flowers’, and the Hallyu star
had never decreased in popularity ever since.
He’s still voted to be one of the most handsome Korean actors to date, and with works like
City Hunter, The Heirs, and Legend of the Blue Sea under his belt, it’s impossible
to not know of the actor.
However, despite the stunning visuals that had created a Hallyu sensation, Lee Min Ho
isn’t too proud of his face.
In particular, when promoting on the SBS show ‘One Night of TV Entertainment’, the actor
denied when asked if he thinks of himself as good-looking.
“I don’t think I’m handsome.
My really defined double eyelids and face is my insecurity”, the actor said.
He also added that his ideal look is that of actors Kim Woo Bin and Park Hyung Sik,
claiming that Hyung Sik is cute, while Kim Woo Bin “has fair skin but still manages
to be masculine”.
In response though, Kim Woo Bin thinks that Lee Min Ho has the better face, but he has
the better body.
But, honestly, why compare when they’re both a sight?
Lee Sung Kyung Starting out as a runaway model, actress Lee
Sung Kyung is just downright gorgeous with her amber, cat-like eyes, her full lips, and
a perfect physique.
She also managed to steal our hearts in all of her works, going from the cunning villainous
Cha In Ha in ‘Cheese In The Trap’ to the cute bubbly Bok Joo in ‘Weightlifting Fairy
Kim Bok Joo’.
Still, the actress had basically called herself a “squid’ - showing just how insecure
she is about her looks.
“I have a lot of flaws: my face is round, my nose is flat, my eyes are small, and my
forehead is too large.
Even with makeup, I don’t look nice” - Sung Kyung once said in an interview for Weightlifting
Fairy Kim Bok Joo.
In the same year, the actress also compared herself with other colleagues while promoting
for ‘The Doctors’.
“I appeared on Running Man with Park Shin Hye and had to be next to Park Shin Hye and
Song Ji Hyo, both of whom have matchless beauty.
I have a complex about my face”, Sung Kyung said on Unnies’ Radio.
Well, Sung Kyung, you look like a goddess!
Park Seo Joon Being an extremely talented actor, Park Seo
Joon had driven us through a wide range of emotions, from admiring and crying over his
ambition in Itaewon Class to laughing at his wild antics in What’s Wrong With Secretary
Kim.
Honestly, who can disagree when our favorite vice-chairman admires his own visuals in the
mentioned drama?
He may be narcissistic but he’s pretty legit.
Apparently, the actor himself can, as Park Seo Joon consider his face “nothing spectacular”.
In fact, he was shocked to know that international fans think of him as handsome, speculating
that it might have been the different taste between Korean and foreign people.
“Anyone can outshine me, my face is pretty boring”, he said, to the shock of us fans.
Son Ye Jin The popular actress Son Ye Jin was once titled
the nation’s first love, for her innocent, soft, and ethereal visuals.
She basically had the heart of all Koreans in her hands, looking like a goddess descended
in cinematic films ‘A Moment to Remember’ and ‘The Classic’, as well as in the hit
drama series ‘Summer Scent’.
Even now, at 39 years old, the actress continues to woo the audience with her mature yet unreal
beauty in recent Kdramas like ‘Something in the Rain’ and ‘Crash Landing on You’.
And yet, Son Ye Jin condemns her own looks, going as far as to say she has an ordinary
face as an actress while promoting the movie Spellbound.
She also criticizes herself for having similar expressions while acting, and expresses her
wish for improvements.
In a previous interview while filming ‘Summer Scent’, the actress also said that her eyes
are the only part she likes about her looks, and that she thinks her head size is way too
big.
Which greatly confuses us, because Son Ye Jin, have you ever looked in a mirror?
Park Hae Jin Debuted way back in 2006 with the family series
‘Famous Chil Princesses’, Park Hae Jin had since played numerous works of different
genres, never ceasing to switch up with a variety of roles from dark to bright.
The actor is particularly famous for his brilliant acting, consistent hard work, and of course,
a manly, gangly look with an ideal physique.
However, he never once considered himself an attractive man.
In an interview after the hit series ‘My Love From The Stars’, Park Hae Jin admitted
while he felt attracted to Do Min Joon - the male protagonist character at first, he was
not confident to play a “handsome alien”.
The actor also added: “My face is not symmetrical - I look completely different on my left and
right side.
I was made to appear the best on screen - still, I can’t call myself handsome’.
Such insecurity doesn’t hinder the actor though, and he even expressed that he wants
to drop the handsome guy image to try new and different roles.
Park Bo Young Born in 1990, yet Park Bo Young can pass as
a highschool student with her cute, youthful looks and her tiny physique.
Her career and popularity was also something many people look up to, with multiple prizes
and successful works, namely series like Oh My Ghost, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and award-winning
movies like Scandal Makers, On Your Wedding Day, and A Werewolf Boy.
Despite her small body, Park Bo Young never let herself be limited in her genres, and
her expressive eyes were such a strong charm that the audience can’t help but be drawn
in.
Nevertheless, the actress wasn’t into her own looks.
When asked about her visuals during her early acting days, Bo Young had said: “I think
my face is pretty uncouth.
My chin is large, so my face also looks large”.
Thankfully, she has since learned to disregard hateful standards, even directly speaking
up to them in a Vlive in 2017.
“Honestly, Korean beauty standards are harsh.
People are even putting pressure on non-celebrities to be super skinny, and the standards of thinness
are getting out of control”, she said.
“My little sister is fine just the way she is, but she calls herself chubby, which makes
me really sad.
As long as you’re healthy, I don’t think weight matters”, the actress concluded.
Yoo Ah In Yoo Ah In is considered a gemstone of the
Korean acting world, with numerous awards and successes on both the small and large
screen.
It is just impossible to deny his talents, and even without a single line, the actor
can show us a world of emotions.
Swoon by talents and visuals, Ah In stans cannot help but call him a dreamboat, which
the actor finds funny.
In his interview with Elle Man Hong Kong, he calls himself an average guy, with no outstanding
features.
Instead of being insecure about his look, though, the actor shared that “unattractiveness”
is his strength.
“My face is overall not very symmetrical.
For example, my eyes are different sizes, my smile is not symmetrical..,” he said.
“However, they make me multidimensional.
There are different feelings generated from different angles, which I think is my strength.”.
The actor also wrote directly on his Twitter: “I am really ugly, but I like that about
myself”.
Well, I strongly disagree about the ugly part, but love his confidence!
. Sadly, beauty standards have made people unable
to feel good about themselves, and Korean actors and actresses are no exception.
Luckily, many, like Yoo Ah In, had recognized their own charms, and we love that for them!
