Actor Lee Sung-min, Lee Ji-ah, and Jang Dongkeon. The surprising recent lives of veteran actors who look unrecognizable are drawing astonishment.
Recently, the transformations of well-known actors have been a daily topic of conversation. Including Lee Sung-min, who lost 10kg for a project, Lee Ji-ah, who at a film premiere created a changed atmosphere apart from her still-youthful beauty, and Jang Dongkeon, who in a recent video sparked suspicions of procedures because of a taut face. We looked into the roster of actors whose appearance changes became a topic of conversation.
First, on the 13th a fashion magazine's official SNS captured behind-the-scenes footage of Lee Sung-min's pictorial shoot. In the video Lee Sung-min created a sharper atmosphere with a denim shirt and jeans, the so-called "double denim" look, messy hair that stuck up like a brush, and a roaring "Teach You a Lesson" bellow aimed at the camera.
He is known to have lost about 10kg for filming the movie Ode to My Father 2. As a result, when he appeared as a guest on the web variety show Pinggyego last April, even broadcaster Yu Jae-seok was reportedly astonished. In addition, Lee Sung-min's dramatic transformation, clearly visible in the pictorial shoot, added to the surprise.
On the same day, Lee Ji-ah was invited to the VIP premiere of the movie Hope held at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul. Wearing dark navy wide pants and a white sleeveless top and carrying a black mini bag, she revealed her characteristically unadorned styling with long hair in natural waves.
Her youthful beauty at age 47, which was hard to believe, drew admiration. In addition, Lee Ji-ah's seemingly changed aura and expression compared with before became a topic of conversation. Because Lee Ji-ah has regularly shared natural daily life on SNS, subtle changes such as a slightly thicker nasal bridge and fuller cheeks sparked heated debate among internet users.
Meanwhile, earlier Jang Dongkeon was also spotted at a fashion event, drawing attention. Dressed in a neat suit and sweeping back his now-longer hair, Jang Dongkeon evoked a pictorial-like atmosphere even in black-and-white footage. Perhaps from a gap in activity, he appeared a bit heavier than in his previous works, which added a human touch.
At the same time, in a recent video Jang Dongkeon drew attention for a face without a single wrinkle, taut cheeks and a rounded jawline. While some raised suspicions of procedures, others, seeing his flushed cheeks, even suggested he might have been drinking naturally at a launch event.
Such changes in stars, which draw attention down to the smallest details, circulate not only among fans but also among most internet users, leading to renewed interest in their works and current lives. It is the entertainment world's fate that you cannot let your guard down for even a moment. <
