Lee Da-hae’s old pageant photos

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

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.

Meanwhile, Lee Da-hae is newly repped by J Tune Entertainment, and will be joining its CEO Rain on the runway as she walks for his line’s 2009 Fall-Winter collection. They’ll both model items from Rain’s own clothing brand, Six to Five, at a June 6 show in Hong Kong.

I doubt she's gotten plastic surgery. It looks to me like she just decided to revamp her image :/

You actually DOUBT plastic surgery in this case?

[carrotsandroses.livejournal.com]

I'm an eternal optimist.

Plastic surgery shouldn't lessen an artist. Think of something like a hair treatment or a facial, only more intensive. It's enhancing oneself unless it goes beyond limitations.

You can clearly see a crease was put into her eyes.

Wow Jang Shin-young was and is still gorgeous!!
Lee DaHee was gorgeous too...looks like she had a little eye work done but so what? many in S. Korea have eye surgery...i think it's the makeup that's making her look so different...in 2001 she would have only been 17...and the pageant makes her look 25-30.

It looks more like a much-needed makeover than plastic surgery. And she grew out her eyebrows.

WOW!
She looks like she got younger. LOL at 90s makeup.

Oh my, I did not recognize her at all. Her before pictures look like that could be her mom.

Did she ever officially admit she did surgery? (because we all know she did)

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

i think the lips are different now.
and yeah, she looks a lot younger....

how about her jawline anyway?
