Lee Da-hae in Marie Claire
by | January 18, 2010 | 78 Comments

Guess it must already be that time of the month again, by which I mean that time when all the fashion mags put out teasers of their star-studded upcoming issues. This time it’s Marie Claire featuring Chuno‘s runaway bride, Lee Da-hae, whose spread will be in the February issue.

Lee’s shoot takes a so-called “bold concept,” departing from her usual image and showing off her figure. (The pink, according to an editor, was chosen to suit the upcoming Valentine’s Day.)

Aside from looking beautiful in the shoot, Lee Da-hae’s got a lot to be happy about these days; Chuno is kicking major butt in the ratings, and it’s only just begun. It airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays on KBS.

  1. "PIG-RABBIT"

    OMG she looks HOTTTTTT. and am a girl hu isnt into other girls in that way….
    wow-zer i thought she was pretty but WOW! 0.0

  2. Amy

    Before the preview image loaded, I thought “bold” was gonna mean Tyra-Banks-fierce, but nope, just boy briefs.

  3. jm126

    The first picture’s sexy in a I-just-got-out-of-bed kind of way.
    Less fond of the second picture, too banal?

  4. javabeans

    @Amy, that’s why it’s in quotation marks. heh.

  5. Tictoc

    Gosh! She’s so skinny!

  6. questions987

    umm…not digging either picture, but it might be because I never did like her, which would explain my aversion to Chuno.

  7. Poncho

    She looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LDH fighting!

  8. Gems

    The girl’s got some killer curves despite being slender. I’m jealous!

    I wonder what brand is her underwear? I really like the color/shape/style and would like to buy some if they’re available in the U.S.

  9. Alyssia

    She’s defnitely showing off her sexy now that she’s at the rightful age. Back in “my girl”, she was still sporting a cute image. Defnitely nice change over the years.

    I came across someone’s comments on Da Hae before which i liked so much. “she’s as pretty as you can get”. Defnitely true!

    Lately, Lee Da Hae is looking a little plastic. By that I mean, there’s something different about her like she doesn’t look like she used to before. A while back there was a story about her that she had double-eyelid surgery because it was revealed that another actress had competed in a pageant that she was in.

  11. 11 sukispop

    The first picture showcases her lovely figure…but it’s her beautiful face that I find I’m drawn to. Very pretty girl and an excellent actress. I’m glad that she’s in this blockbuster hit drama. I’ll definitely watch it when it comes available subbed.

  12. 12 dee

    so skinny! but nice butt :D

  13. 13 mak

    Cute, sexy and beautiful and most importantly she’s smart -that’s why i’m her fan.

  14. 14 an on imus

    she’ s one beautiful lady. whether she’s plastic or not doesn’t really matter to me. what matters is that she’s beautiful!!! there are some people who after having plastic surgery looked worse than before they had the surgery.
    go LDH!!!

  15. 15 Amy

    Pretty but boring.

  16. 16 Molly

    So pretty! She’s looking really skinny though, almost to the point where it’s unhealthy…

    In that second picture though, it looks almost as if her hand is in the flower. Maybe it’s an intentional illusion? I love it though; such a cool effect.

  17. 17 Anonymous

    i’m seeing her in an entirely new light here. i didn’t really consider her pretty before. even in my girl. but she is here. she looks like a doll in the second pic. barbie to be exact..

  18. 18 tara

    Plastic fantastic

  19. 19 matakaw

    i like LDH but i don’t like these pics, too barbie-like, especially the 2nd one. she doesn’t look real. and way too skinny!

  20. 20 michikoal

    I don’t like them if the concpet is sexy I don’t find anything sexy about the first pic, maybe it’s her expression or the way her body is angled that I find weird.

    2 pic is meh a forgettable photo shoot for me LDH can do better.

  21. 21 Quidam

    Gorgeous. Beautiful. Amazing. Baby got back!

    Weight wise she looks fine, especially with a butt like that. Plastic? Who cares?

    I have the biggest girl-crush on her right now. ..hehe.

  22. 22 Eve

    she looks boring.
    and yes plastic doll

  23. 23 Gems

    I don’t think she’s plastic…just lost weight, grew more mature, and of course…the wonders of Photoshop.

    But even if she did go under the knife, there’s no need to be judgmental. Live and let live <3

  24. 24 isabella

    @15 Amy:

    Me think so, too. She’s really pretty but nothing more (just my opinion, sorry to her fans). No aura/charisma which a celebrity should have. I watched My Girl long ago and it helped me achieve a record of “fastest-watched drama” thanks to the FFW button (T_T)

    However, I like the lingerie piece. it looks lovely! :D

  25. 25 Molly

    While plastic surgery is common in the entertainment industry, I don’t think it’s okay for people to look at celebs who’ve gone under the knife and think it’s acceptable. It seems like it’s a necessity in the industry, so I’m not condemning it or anything, but I still think that celebs should advocate natural beauty more, for the girls (and guys, I suppose) who look up to them. Because plastic surgery seems to be spreading way too fast in the general public. That said, I do think she’s looking great in these pictures (although, again, she looks so skinny in the second!)

  26. 26 mucho

    I miss her look in MY GIRL-she got a face/cheeks that make me want to pinch her-such an excellent actress despite her young age i.e her previous works.

  27. 27 Anonymous

    Am I the only one who thinks that she has a boring face? she is pretty but the kind that the more you look at her, the uglier she gets. I guess she is just not my type.
    She has a nice curve but way too skinny.

  28. 28 asianromance

    i feel like she was heavily photoshopped in the 2nd pic!

  29. 29 jacq

    She is one gorgeous lady. To me, she is the most beautiful korean actress there is. Not to mention talented too.

  30. 30 lilac

    Never been impress with LDH poses or expressions in any magazine spread, including this. She’s suppose to have a sexy/”bold” pic here but somehow she doesn’t give that vibe. She’s pretty but in boring kind (yes I repeat what other posters said). I prefer someone who’s not have to be really pretty/handsome but always exudes charisma/charm.

  31. 31 Linwe

    Is it me or Korean high-fashion mags aren’t as adventurous as their western counterparts in their editorials? Do celebrities get the cover shots and models do the fashion shots?

    Perhaps it’s because I’ve always been exposed to the western Vogues and Marie Claires (and that I’m a graphic designer) that I see these shots by LDH and countless stars in past shoots and go “Oh they look nice, but how boring is the spread.”

    G-Dragon’s and 2NE1′s mag shoots a couple of months were probably the only ones I can remember off the top of my head that could be classified as a high-fashion editorial.

  32. 32 Qwenli

    Love the colour! Not hot pink, just kinda of warm peachy pink.

    I am female, but I must say, those are delectable butts!

  33. 33 nora

    Lee Da Hae Shii, I love you.

    love the pose there and what a nice small butt.
    Previuosly I’m so in love with your character in MY GIRL and also your partner on/off screen Lee Dong Wook, BUT after 4 eps of Chuno, now I want you with OJH. I know both of you can make sexy couple.

  34. 34 Cheddar

    She makes me want to put a bag over my head…….LOL…….but still…..-__-

  35. 35 Anonymous

    she’s pretty but gawd! she’s skinny! Don’t know what to wish for, for me to be as skinny as her or her to be as plump as me.. Nah! I’m sure it was the latter :)

  36. 36 sweetydoodle

    @questions987

    i feel the same way towards her. i can’t get myself to watch it no
    matter how much i want to watch it, LDH is stopping me.
    i can’t get to like her.

    *-*

  37. 37 ditto

    LOVE LEE DA HAE :]

  38. 38 Agent Darwin

    “…Chuno is kicking major butt in the ratings…”, her proportion does not look quite right, the butt is too big!! ^^

  39. 39 omo

    I like LDH enough to follow all her projects. Now, comparing the LDH in dramas with her pix here, I definitely agree with @ 28 asianromance; waayyyy too much photoshopping. Nothing looks like her natural self.

  40. 40 rainey

    girl is pretty.

  41. 41 lilly

    She has curves

  42. 42 Lenrasoon

    she’s looking gorgeous ^_^ I love her!

  43. 43 miss_procrastination

    She has a ‘ trunk’ despite being so skinny.

    2 odd years ago, she was criticised for being anorexic-like while hosting an KBS drama awards show. Then, she looked like she had no trunk at all. I still dun think she does but she could have arched in such way she shows it in the first pic

  44. 44 reality

    meh, the only drama i watched her in was My Girl , other than i have not been able to sit and fully watch her other dramas…one hit wonder?? well at least for me…and there’s something about her that i don’t like either…and not to mention some of the things she wears are quite revealing…feels like she wants to be known as a sex idol?

  45. 45 xiahkixiri

    She’s too pretty but I liked her best in My Girl, that kind of pretty that came from effervescence and character. When she looks like this she looks too much the melo princess wilting. Her personality IRL is great though, she’s teasing and funny and smart and fun, and she has guts. Not the best actress out there but talented and pretty cool. Her bod is amazing but a more creative shoot would be nice, my eyes just flick to the underwear/flower and then that’s it.

  46. 46 e sonne

    she’s pretty.. but somehow she always has this vain aura ever since after hello miss which makes me dislike her in almost anything she do. just dislike, not hate.
    u know right, there’s some actresses/actors who arent really good at acting but u just can’t hate them, and also some who are good at acting but u just can’t like them.

  47. 47 cranky

    somehow, like some other posters here, she has always seemed boring to me. It’s probably just me and perhaps a few others, but for me, she lacks a certain ‘spark’ that makes me want to watch her films or dramas.

  48. 48 Ladymoonstone143

    I love LDH in My Girl and Green Rose. I hope she can have another project with Go Soo…:)))

  49. 49 nobody

    Well done MY GIRL, hope she can come to China for fans meeting-lots of fans waiting for her over there-saw her advertisment with BBK product couple of months before-love it, just wish to hv a skin like her.

  50. 50 Joanne

    Lee Da Hae is gorgeous–it’s undeniable really. LDH is fairly tall i think? So to be honest she’s not “too skinny”…I’m quite envious of her butt curve yet slim waist/arms in the first pic. Some asian girls are skinny and flat, you know?

    She’s not my fave actress but have a soft spot for her b/c of My Girl….so always a part of me is rooting for her success!
