This most mysterious Korean actress recently flaunts her unbelievable visuals through a surprising return at the age of 44.
“One Day Off” is a new Korean drama released on the OTT platform Wavve. However, despite featuring Korea’s “legendary beauty”, actress Lee Na Young, the drama did not receive much attention from the audience.
In “One Day Off”, the 44-year-old beauty assumes the role of Park Ha Kyung, a literature teacher at a high school. To escape from her ordinary and boring days, Park Ha Kyung decides to embark on a special trip every Saturday, where she’d stroll around, try different foods, and meet various people. These special trips bring Ha Kyung a lot of comfort and allow her to discover many interesting things in everyday life.
As Park Ha Kyung, the 44-year-old Lee Na Young surprises the audience with a unique image, deviating from her usual allure and beauty. In fact, many people didn’t even recognize Lee Na Young, who was once hailed by the media as “the most beautiful actress on the screen”.
Enviable career and beauty
Lee Na Young, born in 1979, was once chosen as the “golden ratio face for plastic surgery” in Korea. Before entering the entertainment industry and when she was a first year college student, Lee Na Young unintentionally caused a sensation in various newspapers. At the time, the actress appeared on the screen for 2 seconds as an audience member on a live program, and immediately went viral for her beauty. As a result, she became a model just one year later.
After working as a model for a while, Lee Na Young ventured into acting by appearing in a few music videos and short films. In 2001, Lee Na Young had her first leading role in the film “Dream Of A Warrior”, and skyrocketed to fame in the following year with the drama “Ruler of Your Own World.”
In 2004, Lee Na Young gained even more attention from the audience, insiders, and critics alike when she won Best Actress at the prestigious Blue Dragon Film Awards. At the time, industry officials were all amazed to see a model succeed so quickly in the acting field, and shower the actress in heaps of praise. In the following years, Lee Na Young worked diligently and achieved success both on television and the big screen.
“The most mysterious Korean actress” who live happily with her super famous husband
In addition to her beauty and acting career, Lee Na Young also earned the nickname “luckiest beauty in the Korean entertainment industry”, as she started a relationship and eventually married super famous actor Won Bin.
However, since dating Won Bin, Lee Na Young also started to make fewer appearances, both on the screen and in public, rather opting for a low-profile life. In fact, the couple are so quiet, that the audience only knows that they are happy, and not much else. They also rarely has interviews, leading to Lee Na Young being called “the most mysterious Korean actress”.
Since their marriage in 2015, Lee Na Young has only appeared on the small screen twice. The first time was in the drama “Romance is a Bonus Book” in 2018, where she played the lead role alongside Lee Jong Suk. The drama gained relative success in terms of reputation, but it did not make Lee Na Young any more prolific in acting. In fact, the actress has kept quiet since then until “One Day Off” – a just as quiet drama, which doesn’t even air on TV, and thus, is relatively unknown.
It seems that Lee Na Young’s fulfilling life leaves little for her to desire, and now, instead of chasing popularity and success, the actress is taking the time to select projects that she truly enjoys.
