On the afternoon of December 18, Lee Na‑eun attended the VIP screening of the film Once We Were Us at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Seoul. Stepping onto the photo wall with ease, she showcased a calm and self‑assured presence that reflected her renewed momentum in the entertainment industry.

For the event, Lee Na‑eun opted for a clean, understated look, wearing an oversized gray long coat paired with flowing pants and a shirt that created a soft yet polished silhouette. She completed the outfit with a brown tote bag for a subtle accent and black leather shoes that added a refined finish. Her softly waved hair and natural, muted makeup complemented the winter atmosphere, enhancing her composed and elegant charm.

Despite the flurry of camera flashes, Lee Na‑eun maintained a gentle smile and confidently struck poses including the playful “cheek‑poke” gesture finishing the photo session with a relaxed and confident demeanor.

This appearance comes as part of her steady return to public activities. Lee Na‑eun previously resumed acting through the ENA drama The Defects, which concluded in August, and later attended the production press conference for the short‑form drama My Little Chef in October. These marked her first official public appearances in six years.

Originally debuting as a member of the girl group APRIL, Lee Na‑eun expanded her career into acting with roles in popular dramas such as A‑Teen, A‑Teen 2, and Extraordinary You. However, in 2021, she became embroiled in a bullying controversy involving a former group member, leading her to suspend activities for over two years.

After making special appearances in dramas like Flex X Cop and Crash last year, Lee Na‑eun officially returned to regular projects in 2025. Notably, the My Little Chef press event marked her first time facing reporters directly since her appearance in Extraordinary You in 2019.

At the time, she shared, “It’s been a very long time since I’ve been at an event like this. Since it’s my first production presentation in six years, I was nervous, but I’m grateful to have an opportunity to show a new side of myself.”

As Lee Na‑eun continues to appear at various events and rebuild her career step by step, public interest remains focused on her journey watching closely to see how she establishes her place once again in the industry with confidence and composure.
