On the August 20 episode of tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, Kim Tae-hee opened up about how she viewed her appearance over the years. “I think I liked my looks the most when I was around 30, during the filming of the drama Iris,” she shared honestly.
Now 45, the actress reflected on the changes that come with age, embracing them with grace:
“As I age, there are parts of myself that I may not be fully satisfied with, but I think I need to accept them. Wrinkles that come from smiling a lot—I hope people will see them as something beautiful.”
Her heartfelt reflections struck a chord with fans online. A post on theqoo, a popular Korean forum, quickly gained traction after compiling stunning photos from her Iris days, captioned with the simple but powerful statement: “She’s beautiful forever… ”
The post set off a ripple of nostalgia and admiration, with netizens pouring in to share their thoughts:
- “She’s an all-time legend ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ.”
- “She’s always beautiful.”
- “Rather than fighting aging out of fear, accepting yourself is the most natural thing. She’s someone who just makes you feel good.”
- “Unnie, what are you saying ㅠㅠㅠ You’ve always been beautiful ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.”
- “Her looks in LG Cyon CF and in the drama The Secret Battle of the Nine Tails were also legendary.”
- “Honestly, when I first saw her on TV as a kid, I thought she was the most beautiful person in the world.”
Although Kim Tae-hee humbly pointed to her Iris era as her visual peak, fans continue to champion her enduring allure, both on and off the screen. Her gentle and honest perspective on aging has only deepened public admiration, proving once again why she remains one of Korea’s most beloved actresses.
