Lee Da-hae addresses rumors regarding changed appearance

South Korean actress Lee Da-hae has addressed recent online speculation regarding her changing appearance and rumors of plastic surgery. Following public comments about her adopting a ‘Chinese-style’ look, Lee clarified on social media that her recent aesthetic is the result of working with local stylists, hair, and makeup artists while active in China.

She explained that the images shared online often undergo professional retouching by local staff, which can result in looks that feel unfamiliar even to her. Lee expressed that she is now enjoying the process of collaborating with new professionals and embracing different styles, asking fans to view her evolving image as a form of diverse expression rather than focusing on specific national styles.

Lee, who married singer Se7en in 2023, is currently pregnant and expecting to give birth in November. She has maintained an active professional presence in China, recently participating in a live commerce broadcast that achieved significant sales success.
