Failed plastic surgery yet this Korean actress leds a dream life after marrying rich and quitting her mediocre career

After many challenges, this Korean actress finally managed to find her happily ever after. 

Back during the 2010s, plastic surgery was considered to be a life-altering event for many Korean actresses. However, it didn’t work out for everyone, and many ended up ruining their natural beauty. For this particular actress, her beauty procedure failed, but her life has been a great success.

An unrecognized talent

Born in 1971, Lee Hye Young entered the Korean entertainment industry in 1992 as a member of the girl group 1730. However, the group disbanded 2 years later, and Lee Hye Young joined the duo “Coco”, which once again failed.

Hye Young’s first acting opportunity came in 1995 with the K-drama “Sons of the Wind”, followed by various projects including “First Love”, “The Boss”, and “Save the Last Dance for Me”. Her role as “Crow” in “The Boss” earned the actress a certain amount of popularity across Asia.

Unfortunately, despite her talent, Lee Hye Young’s acting career was mostly limited to minor roles. Her last K-dramas like “Save the Last Dance for Me”, “Dal-ja’s Spring”, and “My Husband Got a Family” all earned notable successes, but the actress’s appearances were so brief, she never made any lasting impression. As a result, in 2012, Lee Hye Young stopped acting altogether to get married.

Failed plastic surgery and dream marriage life

At the time, people believed that the actress decided to leave the acting scene due to her lack of popularity, but many others pointed out that her failed plastic surgery might also play an important role. In particular, in future photos, netizens detected that Lee Hye Yong’s visuals drastically changed for the worse, and none of her natural beauty were retained. However, she was actually a fortunate case. 

After a brief but deep affair with singer Lee Sang Min in 2005, Lee Hye Young found happiness with the wealthy financial export Boo Jae Hoon. The actress even warned her then-boyfriend that she used to be married, betrayed, and scammed, but he still stayed with her, and eventually married her in the early 2010s.

Happily ever after in her 50s 

After marriage, Lee Hye Young became an extremely wealthy woman. She moved to the US with her husband, and only returned to Korea for important events. The former actress also seems extremely close with her step-daughter Seo Hyun, and would often bring her along to Korea. Now in her 50s, Lee Hye Young no longer sought after the limelight, but rather feels content with her family, which owns a 3 million USD complex at the luxurious residence of UN Village.
