Korean star Lee Young-ae became famous throughout Asia thanks to the classic historical drama 'Dae Jang Geum'. After many years, she has once again brought back fond memories for her fans. On the 16th, she surprised everyone by sharing several photos of herself returning to the filming location. Now 55 years old, she remains ageless, and her elegant demeanor and firm skin amazed netizens, who exclaimed, 'She looks exactly the same as 20 years ago!'
Lee Young-ae recently visited the filming site of 'Dae Jang Geum', and emotionally commented in front of an old still photo, 'Jang Geum! It's been so long since we've met,' even moved to tears at one point. From the footage revealed, she tenderly strokes a photo of herself as a court lady, playfully closes her eyes and makes a big heart with her hands in the photo area, and takes pictures everywhere as mementos, fully displaying her friendly and approachable side. After the photos were shared, a large number of netizens flocked to leave comments such as 'she hasn’t aged at all,' 'her condition is unbelievable,' and 'time has basically stopped,' sparking another wave of nostalgic memories and prompting new discussions about the enduring appeal of 'Dae Jang Geum.'
In fact, 'Dae Jang Geum' not only propelled Lee Young-ae to the peak of her career, but also brought immense pressure. She previously admitted on a show that, during her peak years, she filmed more than 240 commercials over 17 years. Maintaining such a high level of exposure for so long left her physically and mentally exhausted—she even once didn’t want to see herself on television. Precisely because she felt worn out by overexposure, she purposefully reduced her commercial work and chose to slow down and return to a quieter life.
