42-year-old Song Hye Kyo and 45-year-old Lee Hyo Ri are still at the top, who cares about wrinkles?
Once a top star, forever a top star. These two stars are always the hottest names despite the sign of aging.
On Jan 26th, the magazine Elle Korea released Song Hye Kyo‘s pictorial and interview. Song Hye Kyo, who is enjoying her third heyday with Netflix’s “The Glory,” aimed to show her barest and most natural face with the lightest makeup. Song said, “Dong Eun had a hard time throughout her life, and I don’t think it makes sense if she appeared with a perfectly managed image.”
“I’ve heard people saying that Song Hye Kyo suddenly got old, but of course I age,” she said.
Song Hye Kyo said, “I’ve always played roles similar to my real age. Dong Eun is also in her late 30s.”
In fact, Dong Eun’s appearance in “The Glory” was quite different from Song Hye Kyo, the “representative standard beauty” we usually knew. Her wrinkles looked deep and her skin was dry. As she revealed herself, she even lost a lot of weight to look sickly and skinny. Song Hye Kyo, who has always been the center of attention for her beauty in all of her previous works, has put everything down in “The Glory.”
It was something she had never shown before. However, this challenge was successful. Song Hye Kyo, playing Moon Dong Eun, who planned to revenge after being seriously bullied at school, melted the emotion development of her character without any spoken lines. Sometimes she is creepy, sometimes she is sad, and sometimes she is calm.
There is another star whose wrinkles are also considered dazzlingly beautiful. Lee Hyo Ri has been enjoying the heyday of “a sexy star” for more than 20 years.
Lee Hyo Ri‘s appearance has always been a hot issue. Even when her nasal polyps under her eyes went viral more than a decade ago, she responded coolly, “My nasal polyps are on the hottest search keyword today. These have been with me for 30 years after I inherited them from my mother.“
Last year, when Lee Hyo Ri did a wolf cut, some said she might have had a failed haircut. However, soon, the online public opinion turned around, saying, “It’s a hairstyle that only Lee Hyo Ri can digest.” She spends most of her time without makeup on after moving to Jeju Island, which shows her wrinkles, but she nevertheless did not cover anything up with thick makeup.
Lee Hyo Ri talked about her wrinkles, “These were forced to form becaue I laugh too much. How about calling this a happy face type? These are wrinkles from making money,” she continued to laugh.
Wrinkles, nasal polyps, and ruined hairstyles cannot affect Lee Hyo Ri. She is one of the stars who can explain her influence in the industry just by saying the three letters of her name.
This is why the public is always enthusiastic about Song Hye Kyo and Lee Hyo Ri. They had the most splendid heyday as an actress and a female singer representing Korea, but now they are focusing more deeply on their works and sometimes enjoying a leisurely life. Viewers are looking forward to the next 20 years of these two honest and confident stars.
