As a huge fan of Korean dramas, Kim Hee-Ae (김희애) has a special place in my heart and I can’t believe she’s now 56. Hey, don’t take it the wrong way, she still looks great (Asian genes baby!) but I’ve been wanting to see what the younger version of her looks like.
Today is the day.
Check it out.
Innocent Bangs
Here’s a picture of Kim Hee-ae during her high school years. She looked so innocent back then, especially with those Korean bangs. Too cute!
Teen with ponytails
So glad we found this teenage Kim because I doubt we’ll ever see her with ponytails again.
Modeling for magazine
Kim started modeling in 1982. Guess which one is her?
Too easy, right???
First Debut Film
She made her debut in the film “The First Day of the Twentieth Year”. This was back in 1983.
Big Red Umbrella
What was Kim doing with that ugly big red umbrella? Ok, she was young and pretty…which means she can get away with anything.
University Sweetheart
Did you know that Kim Hee Ae studied Theater and Film major at the Chung Ang University? She was clearly a sweetheart then. I wonder how many hearts she has stolen?
Beauty at the park
Yup, I see one right there.
Winning her first award
This is Kim in 1986, the same year which she won the KBS Drama Awards for Best New Actress!
Tying the knot
Kim got married in 1996 with Lee Chan-jin, the CEO of DreamWiz. I dare say she was the most beautiful bride of that year!
Undeniable acting talent
I’ll finish off with a scene in 2003 where Kim is about to cry. You see those tears hanging on her eyes? Well, that’s talent right there. I’ve been to acting classes and that’s very hard to do!
Well, that’s it for me guys.
I hope these throwback pictures of Kim Hee-ae have satisfied you as much as it has for me. And if you haven’t seen her latest series, Queenmaker, I strongly urge you to watch it. It’s on Netflix and it is brilliant!
