Photos taken in the early days of these actresses’ careers surprised netizens because of their visuals.
Song Hye Kyo
Not many viewers know that Song Hye Kyo started out as a model. In 1996, when she was only 14 years old and a high school student, Song Hye Kyo excellently won the first prize when she participated in the SunKyung Smart Model Contest. She then became a model for the company that organized the competition.
Song Hye Kyo when joining the SunKyung Smart Model Contest (1996) was only a 14-year-old girl with short hair. From an early age, her bare face already exuded grace and helped her stand out with big round eyes, high nose and signature plump lips.
As a photo model for the school uniform company, Song Hye Kyo impressed with her natural beauty that gives off playful vibes. Her innocence and energetic charisma continued to help her win the Uniform Model Contest.
Jeon Ji Hyun
Jeon Ji-hyun was chosen as the cover model for a fashion magazine in 1997, when she was 17 years old. She then debuted as an actress in Take My Heart. However, her acting ability at that time was not appreciated. Her career started to flourish when she continued to act as a model with a TVC for Samsung MyJet printer company.
First appearing on the cover of École magazine in 1997, Jeon Ji-hyun was young and elegant with a cool hairdo, trendy eyebrows and plump lips with red/orange lip gloss.
In the TVC for Samsung MyJet, with a graceful dance showing off her extremely hot body, she smashed the pure image on the cover of École magazine, and left her mark with a bold and sexy image.
Compared to the images at her 17s, now Jeon Ji Hyun is much more beautiful and attractive.
Han Ye Seul
Once caught up in rumors of slapping Jennie because of Teddy, Han Ye Seul is famous not only as an actress but also because of the scandals surrounding her. Few people know, she once debuted as a model. Participating in the Miss Korea 2001 contest with the number 39, she made a strong impression on the audience.
However, it was the photos taken in this contest that accidentally revealed that she had undergone plastic surgery to have the appearance she is now. It is hard to deny, at the time of the contest, despite the simple makeup with plum lipstick, she still looked luxurious and haughty. The bodycon dress accentuated her seductive curves.
Han Ye Seul was also known as a beautiful female MC of SBS’ program Night of TV Entertainment before officially appearing as “Typical Korean Actress”.
