But we haven't forgotten the lovely ladies of K-drama — some of whom were big stars back in the day — so let's take a look at how our favourite South Korean actresses have aged over the years.
When she started, Ye-jin found great success in cinema with her roles in Chi-hwa-seon, Lovers' Concerto, and The Classic. However, she cemented her status as a Hallyu star when she scored the lead role in the 2003 TV series Summer Scent, opposite K-drama hunk Song Seung-heon.
In her last TV project, Ye-jin reunited with a famous actor that she has worked with before — Hyun Bin. She played a South Korean heiress who, while paragliding, crash landed in North Korea and has a fateful encounter with Captain Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin). Fun fact, the pair are currently dating in real life.

Ye-jin is also set to make her Hollywood debut opposite Australian actor Sam Worthington in the upcoming film The Cross, and will begin work on her new K-drama titled Thirty Nine next month.
Na-ra may have started her showbiz career as a singer, but she gained fame on television for her cute image. She starred as the lead in the 2002 romantic comedy Successful Story of a Bright Girl. The success of the show and her hit song Sweet Dream only drove her star power up and the latter was used in My Love Patzzi, another romantic comedy she starred in.
She still looks youthful after all this time but she has definitely shed her cutesy image for a more mature look in her most recent project, Sell Your Haunted House. In this 2021 South Korean television series, Na-ra plays an exorcist and the CEO of a real estate company that only deals in haunted properties.
