Actors who had long been called 'mysterious icons' have recently appeared before the public in a noticeably more relaxed and candid manner, drawing great interest from fans.
First, actress Lee Young-ae appeared on the YouTube channel "Yojung Jaehyung" and said, "My daughter is now 15, and she was so happy when I said I would appear on 'Yojung Table'," revealing her daily life with her family. When Jeong Jae-hyung asked, "Is your daughter a little scary?", he laughed and said, "She does some nitpicking. She opens and closes doors and crosses the line; that's the age she's at." He went on to joke, "When she goes out with me, she says she wants to see celebrities. Even though they're right here."
Lee Young-ae also said, "I am extremely introverted, but when I became a parent I suddenly had 50 people at my house," and added, "People around me said, 'Weren't you into secrecy?' Now I've just given up," candidly conveying the realistic side of being a mother.
Actress Shin Mina also took a step closer to fans through a new channel of communication. She recently said on a Netflix Korea channel video, "I started a blog earlier this year," and noted, "It's not many posts, but I wanted to leave records like travel photos or a diary." She added, "If Instagram is a public stage, the blog feels like guests visiting my home. The comments are warm and friendly, so it's fun," revealing a more personal side.
And actress Jun Ji-hyun made headlines by officially appearing on a YouTube variety show for the first time in 28 years since her debut. Appearing on her close friend Hong Jin Kyung's channel "Gongbu Wang Jjincheonjae," she candidly revealed everything from behind-the-scenes of her marriage to her exercise routine. She shyly laughed, "My husband's nickname is 'Euljiro Jang Dong-gun.' I saw him in person and fell in love at first sight," and shared her self-care philosophy, saying, "I get up at 6 a.m., exercise and start the day fasting."
Stars who in the past existed only as a veiled 'perfect image' are now sharing small everyday stories and human sides, communicating authentically with fans. The public expressed delight, saying, "It feels somehow a level closer, it's fascinating," and, "Humanity is more attractive than mystique."
