Sibling love
Lee Yeon Hee (right) and sis
Fans are always curious to note family resemblances between celebrities and their lesser-known siblings; every now and then you’ll catch wind of another star’s sibling being identified. Their pictures circulate on the internet, engendering audience response that generally falls into the “What great genetics!” category.
Young actress Lee Yeon Hee and her older sister are the latest such example. Go News and Newsen have put up the pictures and provided comparison shots, noting that her older sister, who operates an online clothing store for which she also models, is just as attractive as her younger sister.
Take a look at some other sibling pairings after the jump.

Wee! First! Well some I see it some I don’t, the Uhm siblings I do see it.
Kim Tae Hee and her brother I don’t. I didn’t even realize they were related!
With Kim Jung Eun and her sister, it’s the eyes.
can see the resemblances.. but when celebrities in korea find a cure for the plastic epidemic… pigs will fly… sorry… it’s just for once i’d like to see a natural beauty o_O
Interesting to look at celebs’ siblings’ photos. Jo Insung and his brother share the same lower half of the face. And even though I didn’t immediately connect Kim Tae Hui and Lee Wan, when I found out they were related, I could see the resemblance. Especially when they smile. Their older sister looks pretty as well. Really great genes in that family…
I see the resemblance btw jo in sung and his lil bro, but i think the lil bro looks a lot more like joon ji hoon?(goong guy)
Kim Tae Hee & Lee wan, also Jo In Sung and his younger brother all look great. Beside them, the rest of the other pair of siblings aren’t that outstanding.
yeah, after some plastic surgeries, the actors and their sibling somehow still look that they’re really related..:P
I agree Jo In Sung’s bro, Jo Woo Sung, is equally hot as his hyung. And the pictures that Popseoul posted show more resemblances between these brothers. The younger one should also pursue a career as model! ( I bet he’s also tall like JIS )
Anyway, your choice of Jo Insung’s pic is quite odd…:D The expression!
lee wan’a family has good genes…those are some good looking siblings…including the older sister…
Jung Ryeo Won and her sister have the same smile and dimples.
I, too, didn’t see the resemblance between Kim Tae Hee and Lee Wan until after I found out they were related. They do have the same smile (and older sister, too) and facial expressions.
I don’t know, something about that picture of Jo In Sung creeps me out. And it may be the proportion & angle of the picture, but doesn’t his brother look really short?
marcel wrote, “when celebrities in korea find a cure for the plastic epidemic… pigs will fly” LOL!! Yeah, seeing their siblings makes one wonder what they looked like pre-plastic surgery. It’s like looking at Before and After pictures, especially Kim Jung Eun.
wow it looks like the only natural beauties (besides the guys) are lee yeon hee and her unni ~ they look gorgeous and not plasticky so.
It’s true about the plastic surgery thing but everyone keeps forgetting that Kim Tae Hee is natural too.. [also of course her brother Lee Wan], she’s FAMOUS for being a natural beauty so why does everyone always forget when they start to talk about plastic surgeries @_@;;
Note: I’m not a big fan [or a fan at all] of KTH, just pointing it out.
Lee Wan looks so cute in that pic <3
These days its all about the sibling love among k-entertainment isnt it.
When I go to Naver or Daum and even Cyworld the headline is about this actor’s bro, this actress` sis.. LOL.
But I’m surprised you didnt include Kim Hyesoo`s brother, he’s hot. =]
It was cool seeing some of those resemblances. Thanks for posting this
I like Lee Yeon Hee. She’s so pretty. I think her sister and yeon hee look the most similiar.
uh…what resemblance?? none of the stars look like their siblings…not even tae hee, the “natural” beauty.
Lee Yeon Hee and her sister looks alike.
I agree with whoever said Jo In Sung’s brother looking like Joo Ji Hoon. XD Maybe it’s just the odd beard and hair?
Kim Tae Hee and her sister I can SORT OF see, but the resemblance is very little as Kim Tae Hee is obviously a lot prettier than her sister. Lee Wan I see no resemblance to her, except maybe in the nose/eyes area…Random blurb: Lee Wan is HOT~~! (I’m drawn to pretty boys….)
Kim Jung Eun’s sister and her look a LOT alike, though of course, her sister is a lot more natural-not so alienlike-as she is. ^^ She looked really pretty before! Why’d she get plastic surgery anyway?
Do you guys all have inside information on who has and who hasn’t had plastic surgery, or do we just automatically assume that all the hot looking women are fake? Was it just me, or didn’t everyone go to school with at least a dozen sets of siblings where one was a beauty queen and one was just average? I have four brothers and one sister, and none of us look a bit alike. I can’t account for all of mom’s comings and goings, but I’m certain that we’re all at least related to her. Different hair, nose, teeth…hmmmmmm, Maybe I’d better get that background check done on mom….
I love this post! This was really nice to see.
i wouldnt totally say they had surgery or what not.. i think its easy to see who did and didnt..
wow LYW’s sister is pretty too. i def see the resemblence.
lee wan
maybe this is irrelevant
do you happen to know the online store url lee yeon hee sister sell her collection?
the checkerd/polkadots looks adorable! ah maybe its because she’s adorable as well
i think kim jung eun is the most obvious, she even looked like a different person when i first saw her on all about eve,
but nevermind, the most important thing is she can act
funny that Kim Jung Eun is always bashed for her surgery when there are other actresses out there who obviously changed from their pre-surgery look. i.e. Kim Ah Joong and han Ye Seul, also add to that Kim Nam Joo.
i, being a Kim Jung Eun fan(hardcore fan at that), felt also bad she had resorted to surgery. she was really cute when she was little and people are using her very old photo which was her middle school photo as the basis how much she changed her look. they didn’t give attention to her high school photo by which she was starting to bloom. it was also the feeling of her insecurity to her younger sister. she admitted that her sister is the prettier one even when they little, plus the fact that her mother and her aunt were Miss Korea 1971 and 1969 respectively. she said in Ya Shim Man Man that her mother would feed her a lot so she would look chubby to compensate for her not so pretty appearance, so she would look cute. she hated the fact she got more her father’s genes rather than the beauty queen genes of her mother. her sister looks more like her mother side. her aunt who was 1969 Miss Korea Universe looked more like Song Hye Gyo and that was the time when plastic surgery was not yet popular.
here is her aunt:
