Actor Lee Young-ae mentioned why she was not swayed by fake news and rumors directed at her.

Fashion magazine 'Harpers Bazaar' unveiled the cover of the August issue with actors Lee Young-ae and Ralph Lauren Collection.

This shoot is the first encounter between Lee Young-ae and Ralph Lauren collection, drawing attention. The title of the pictorial is 'The Shadowy Stranger'. Warm and cool, elegant and grim. It features the colorful face of actor Lee Young-ae, who coexists with a stark difference in temperature. As an irreplaceable icon, he showed his unrivaled presence in his eyes and fingertips throughout the filming, drawing cheers from the staff.

Even in the yet-to-be-released pictorial, Ralph Lauren Collection's 2024 pre-fall season look was colorful, revealing its icon-like appearance to the fullest.

In an interview that followed after the shooting, Lee Young-ae said that childbirth and parenting influenced the reasons for choosing increasingly challenging works after returning to 'Sightseeing' and 'Find Me'Maestra', which recently ended. "Getting married and giving birth gave me confidence to try new things. After becoming a mother and encountering new emotions, should I say that I deepened as an actor? The understanding of people has expanded. I think that's why I want to challenge more and more diverse characters."

As a wife, mother, and actor, he also expressed his belief. "Of course, the 20s were a period of stormy old age. I worked really hard on my back and forth. I was able to run like that because my work was good, and in my 30s, I met good works based on that experience. In other words, I didn't lie still and wait for the fruit of the work to fall, and I kept digging and plowing the fields to qualify for the opportunity." "I worked so hard that I didn't have any regrets until I got married, so I was able to have children and focus on parenting. That was such a precious time for me. If I go back to acting later, I don't think I'll regret it even if my place is reduced a little. I saw an interview with Kim Hye-ja recently, and she mentioned the four-character idiom 'equivalent exchange'. If you gain something, you lose something, and the world is fair. That's for sure. You can't have everything."

Lee Young-ae attributed the secret of being able to protect herself as an actor to 'Distancing'. "It's a job where you meet someone you learn and you have to approach people eventually. To study one person, live as another, and get out of it again, you need time to look back on yourself, think about yourself, take root, and solidify your roots. In my case, I filled that time with a kind of distance. Since I was young, I've been told countless times that I'm good at this job and I'm pretty. 'Am I really pretty? Are you really good?' I want to, but when people poke me with nothing fake news or ridiculous rumors, I'll burst into a balloon that's bloated by myself. This job sometimes smokes smoky chimneys. Someone else comes to my chimney and makes a fire. In this world, you need something of your own to build your inner strength. If someone asked me what was the basis for getting this far, I think I would answer like this. It was thanks to your own distance."
