Kim Tae-hee, 'the original face genius,' mentioned that her peak appearance was during 'Iris.'
On the 20th, actress Kim Tae-hee appeared on the tvN entertainment program 'You Quiz on the Block' and shared her story.
On that day, Kim Tae-hee referred to a story from her school days when she was famous for her looks, saying, "This shouldn't be the case, but during my college days, I had someone attend class for me. I asked a friend, and when the professor said 'Kim Tae-hee,' my friend raised their hand and answered. At that moment, there was a commotion with people saying, 'Is that Kim Tae-hee?' My friend felt very embarrassed, so I apologized."
Kim Tae-hee said that the time she felt best about her appearance was at the age of 30, stating, "I think I was the prettiest then. I was filming the drama 'Iris,' and I liked that period the most."
She continued, "Now that I am getting older, parts of me that I don't like are gradually appearing. I have to accept it eventually," adding, "I hope the wrinkles that come from smiling a lot are viewed positively as beautiful."
Earlier, Kim Tae-hee also revealed that she experienced anxiety about her appearance during an interview with a local media outlet in Taiwan last June.
At that time, Kim Tae-hee said, "I began feeling anxious after turning 35. I got married and gave birth, and I was busy with parenting. When I turned 30, aging started, and my skin elasticity was not the same as before. As I entered my late 30s, I started to feel a sense of anxiety."
Kim Tae-hee mentioned, "I tried to learn how to accept myself. Before turning 40, I started to accept to some extent that 'there are parts of me that I cannot change.' I have to manage often, but due to parenting, I have no time. So, I regularly receive laser treatments."
Kim Tae-hee added, "As I tried my best, I naturally began to discover different charms. I want to maintain my other charms and beauty in the future, without going overboard, but naturally."
Meanwhile, 'Butterfly,' which Kim Tae-hee stars in, is an original American drama from Amazon Prime Video and will air on tvN starting the 22nd.
