Accordingly, Lee Young Ae had a short conversation with fans when appearing on the streets of New York before Gucci's show.
While talking about young Chinese artists, the actress suddenly asked: "Zhang Linghe is very famous, isn't he?". Fans then replied that the actor currently has a large fan base in China. According to a post spreading on social networks, the conversation lasted about 5 minutes and the topic related to Zhang Linghe alone took up nearly a minute.
Although it was just a curious question, Lee Young Ae's statement quickly attracted attention on entertainment forums. Many netizens believe that this is an interesting moment when a symbol of the first generation Hallyu wave learns about the rising young star of Chinese cinema.
The incident became even more widespread when in the evening of the same day, Lee Young Ae and Truong Lang Hach were suddenly arranged to sit next to each other at the Gucci show in New York. The two artists not only shook hands and chatted but also happily took pictures together.
In the series of photos shared, Truong Lang Hach appeared in an elegant dark-toned leather suit, while Lee Young Ae chose outfits of the same color with her familiar elegant style. The moment they stood next to each other quickly created a wave of discussion on both Chinese and Korean social networks.
Many humorous viewers commented that this is a "frame of beautiful sister - wealthy younger brother", while some people commented that the interaction between two generations of artists shows the interesting intersection of the Asian entertainment industry today.
Lee Young Ae was born in 1971, is one of the iconic actresses of Korea. She became famous throughout Asia after the success of the TV series Dae Jang Geum in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, Truong Lang Hach belongs to the prominent young generation of actors in China, is noticed through many historical dramas and has a large fan base in the young audience group.
Some opinions suggest that it is understandable that Lee Young Ae has not really grasped the coverage of Truong Lang Hach in the international market, because the influence of the male actor is still mainly concentrated in online movies, fashion and the young fan community in Asia.
However, many viewers also commented that Truong Lang Hach's appearance at this Gucci show shows his increasing position in the international fashion field. According to spreading posts, the male actor is the only Chinese artist attending this brand show.
