Recently, Park Shin Hye's beauty has become a hot topic on the social network Weibo (China).
Chinese netizens are surprised by the aging rate of Korean beauties. Many people say that they cannot recognize "national goddess" Park Shin Hye after 3 years of marriage and motherhood.
The debate originated from Park Shin Hye's new role in the TV series "Undercover Miss Hong" (Investigator Hong) just aired on tvN.
In a series of photos spreading online, Park Shin Hye wore short curly hair, although posing in a youthful trend, her face appeared many wrinkles, sometimes revealing a tired, lifeless look.
Audiences expressed regret for Park Shin Hye's once beauty. Many people are nostalgic for her image as a goddess in the TV series "The Heirs", "Pinocchio" and believe that after getting married and having children, the actress has aging too quickly, too old compared to her real age (Park Shin Hye was born in 1990).
At that time, Park Shin Hye was once called the "male god harvesting machine of Korean films".
In "The Heirs", she paired with Lee Min Ho; in "Pinocchio" she collaborated with Lee Jong Suk; before that, there was a collaboration with Jang Geun Suk, Jung Yong Hwa in "The Handsome Girl" - Park Shin Hye's list of all top handsome actors.
But Park Shin Hye did not develop feelings for those male gods, but fell in love with actor Choi Tae Joon - a senior in the same Department of Theater and Cinema at Chung-Ang University.
Their love story was made public in 2018. Three years later, Park Shin Hye was revealed to be pregnant. In 2022, the two officially married and in the same year, she gave birth to her first son.
When Park Shin Hye announced her pregnancy and marriage, on social networks, many fans exclaimed "my youth is over", regretting that she was so young but married early.
After getting married, Park Shin Hye's focus of life shifted to family, and it was not until 2024 that she officially returned to the screen. For audiences who love Park Shin Hye's works, that is a pity, but for herself, this is a happy choice.
Because very early on, Park Shin Hye said her dream was to get married, like her parents, to build a warm and happy family.
In the controversial images in the movie "Investigator Hong", a part of the audience explained that the reason Park Shin Hye looks lifeless is because she is too thin, plus her hairstyle affects her appearance quite a lot.
In everyday life, when caught on vacation with her husband, her condition was still quite stable.
Fans defend Park Shin Hye, saying that it is impossible to demand a 35-year-old actress who is married and has children, to be as youthful as 10 years ago.
