How talented and dedicated an actress do you have to be to convince people you’re a weightlifter when you’re 5’9” and called the “Gigi Hadid of South Korea”? Gaining about 5 kg. for her role in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (2016-17) — and even stretch marks along the way — Lee Sung-kyung declared in that show that she’s way more than a pretty face who can sell millions of sleeping masks and two-tone lip bars.

In fact, behind her hazel eyes and plump lips is a bundle of sheer talent and infectious energy. Her years of piano training and angelic singing voice were put to good use playing a musical actress in the 2018 drama About Time. Her palpable energy was what convinced producers to cast the 2014 Best Female Fashion Model of the Year in her debut drama It’s Okay, That’s Love (2014). And she has received acting awards for four of her shows, including Flower of the Queen (2015) and Dr. Romantic 2 (2020).
If being tall, gorgeous, and talented were not enough, the naturally outgoing actress is also one of the friendliest in the industry, known to be close to other celebrities like Lee Jong-suk, Park Shin-hye, and — of course — Nam Joo-hyuk.
Turning just 34 years old today, Lee Sung-kyung has so much more in store for her — and for us as her fans. After playing a PR professional in 2022’s rom-com Sh**ting Stars and an intern in last year's romance series Call it Love, she will star opposite Lee Dong-wook in The Good Man.
