Lee Da-hae, in 2001 and more recently
Lee Da-hae (East of Eden, Hello Miss) has been attracting some attention for recently discovered photos of her earlier days, given how different they look from her current appearance.
These photos capture Lee Da-hae from a “Miss Chun-hyang” beauty pageant she had won back in 2001. The images were shown when actress Jang Shin-young appeared on the KBS variety show Happy Together on the 21st, and was asked about her participation in the Miss Chun-hyang pageant. She explained that she had come in sixth, but that in the same competition, Lee Da-hae had won first place.
Although Jang looks pretty much the same, many fans are wondering at the noted change to Lee Da-hae’s appearance, leading to inevitable plastic-surgery suspicions.

i like her so much
very well , be confidence !
that`s not true
i had see many korea stars done plastic surgery . i hate that because it is not real .
yep! she did change from an older person to a younger one. Thanks to plastic surgery!
Lee Dae Hae definitely had a nose job. Just compare how she looks in My Girl with that of East of Eden.
what a face LEE DA HAE!!
Lee Dae Hee!Eow!!You think you have fans in the Philippines?Who are you?I don’t even know you!You tried to mimic Southeast Asian accent?Are you not Asian?Come on!Look at yourself before you insult someone.You insulted yourself!Pabo!!!How pity you are Lee Dae Hee!You’re awful in and out.Without plastic surgery,where do you think you are,who do you think you are?beggar!slut!moron!RIP!!!!!
I don’t like her anymore because she insulted Filipino teachers’ accent.
Can’t control myself…..shiiiittt…..!!!back off!!you suck!!!!
Lee Da Hae is a BITCH… for insulting Filipinos.
this girl definitely doesnt know what is she talking about… just be reminded that koreans come here in the philippines to learn ENGLISH, please tell this girl about that fact.
I was just guessing about her “surgical issue”
her NOSE, JAW, EYES, EYE BROWS..and whatsoever.
other parts of her body we don’t know. there is no possible when you have money. But, I’m very confused when I saw her old photos. Although, she’s still beautiful before, but not like today. I thought she had natural beauty. Lot’s of Koreans I mean not even Koreans, but the majority of people in showbiz, undergo to this operation. In order for them to become more beautiful to our eyes. In short their fake.
Pwee. I don’t want to hurt lot’s of people it was just my opinion.
BTW. I like her.
before, but now I don’t know. Not because of her operation but because of what she said before about the language of Filipino in terms of Speaking in English. It insult my Nationality. Yes, I am a Filipino but please. Let’s respect each other. If you feel that you can offend others. Please just zip your mouth.I understand that she was just doing her job. To laugh people? or insulted people?
Oh, common’
She’s a fake. i dont like her. so rude!
She’s a racist bitch!How dare her mocking Filipino accent.There’s a lot of Korean national that are studying in the Phil. just go learn English….pheeww!!she sucks!
honestly i don’t like her, for insulting Filipninos, i hate her more for she denies what she said about the Filipino teachers accents…during her interview in Kbs…I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU LEE DA- HAE………………
well..for me she[‘s not that person….
I think that the two pictures are pictures of two different people.
I dont trust this humor..she is beautiful!! lee da hae..i love her..ppl jz jealous of her..huh..that cant b her!!
i think her jaw,eyes and nose …
but hey! let us not make this a big iddue anymore plastic surgery is common in korea nowadays…
i’m not against it.. lee dae hee is talented and she’s good in acting that gained her popularity…
let’s just deal with it…
*”issue i mean
My niece, a Plastic Surgeon elected to do her internship at a well known hospital in Seoul, and she confirms not only most film & TV stars have plastic surgery, every other Korean (as young as 13 have had some plastic surgery done).
Members of the Korean Parliament frequent her surgery & apparently cost is covered by the “Medicare System”.
I wonder if koreans have to declare about their physical assets before marrying. The problem will occur when a couple has children & they will not resemble neither of the parents !!!
So…starts the chain reaction…”Cosmetic Surgery” to maintain status quo…..
Absolutely Hilarious
I think its just natural having surgeries or whatever for all the actresses and celebrities, since maintaining their career is on top of it. and besides, I guess almost all of celebrities do that. am i right? and Speaking of whatever, whatever is all done, she is pretty right from the start. Perhaps you’ll not find it that gorgeous because the picture in her pageant, she looks so simple. That’s it. Let’s not curse Lee instead let’s just love her. You’ll be blessed.
btw, it’s tessa from philippines <3
I know for sure she has her boobs and nose done but i didn’t think she would have her eyes and lips too.
shaven jaw? no, don’t think so, probably lost weight. definitely a nose job. her eyebrows are more natural now than in the older picture. can’t tell if she had eyelid surgery or not. nowadays, just by using makeup cleverly can give you an eye lift and a double eyelid. still had a bit of baby fat on the face in My Girl.
YOU GOT A TOTALLY WRONG PICTURE OF LEE DA HAE. THAT WAS DEFINITELY NOT HER. COME ON, BE REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geez. They can’t be the same person, can it? The jaws are being reshaped.
She was a pretty pageant and very traditional Korean face. But now she looks flawless. Still can believe the shock that I have received today.
Also found her childhood photo which shows her jaws were much bigger than now (if that kid was really her).

Oh, well. She is a good actress with a beautiful skill and beautiful face now.
oh my goSh she’s creepy—–she’s unconfident and totally uncontented with how she looks ..how sad.
Her cheek bones look more defined but it can be due to weight loss, but there’s definitely smth about her eyelids and her nose, that’s not too much plastic surgery if you consider many other stars, but I’m also quite certain that it’s also due to make up and lighting . but haha, it’s was a job well done
It’s rare weight loss makes a big difference within your cheek bones and jaw lines.
Lee Da Hae surely had plastic surgery. Thinner face, thinner nose, bigger eyes, fuller lips, toner face overall. Jang Shin Young has always been pretty.
TOO many celebrities, especially KOREAN celebs, are getting too much plastic surgery. We don’t even know who and who are natural or fake. But hey, the world doesn’t revolve around anything else but appearance and beauty! SUCKS but what the fudge, what can we do about it. The world is chaotic.
OMG ! It’s totally a big different ! I thought that it wasn’t her at first !
I knew fom the start that something is wrong with her looking like that without a tinge of caucasian genes. I don’t want to soud racist but she looks like she had a jaw reduction aside from all the other stuff. Definitely none of her children will like that but the before face..Now she will have to work hard so they can have plastic surgery too. They will be a family of plastic.. Plus I rea that she continues to have more surgery soon her face will just fall off.
