What did Lee Da-hae say about her look?

Actress Lee Da-hae responded on her social media on October 24 to plastic surgery rumors. She said that when working in China she is styled by local stylists and hair and makeup artists, and that the photo crew is also local. According to her, the photos are often delivered already retouched, which is why she said she sometimes finds her own look unfamiliar.

Why did the photos draw attention?

Her recent photos from China, featuring heavy makeup and strongly defined features, led some online users to describe them as a 'Chinese-style' look. Some also raised plastic surgery suspicions. Lee said she now enjoys working with new teams and wants her looks to be seen as varied expressions rather than a single national style.

What was the China event?

On October 18, Lee appeared as a guest on a live commerce broadcast in Hangzhou, China, held for Singles' Day. She was about one month from giving birth. The broadcast reportedly recorded about 20 billion won in sales within roughly two hours.
