Rhee Min-jung reveals secret to her beauty with 70-year-old mother

Actress Rhee Min-jung has prepared a birthday meal for her mother for the first time since her debut. More eye-catching than the lavish food and cake were the faces of the mother and daughter standing side-by-side before the camera. Fans' attention was drawn as her mother's youthful appearance, which makes it hard to believe she is 70 years old, and her facial features, which closely resemble Rhee, were revealed.

On the 8th, Rhee posted several photos on her social media with the caption, “Preparing Mom's birthday meal for the first time. I will do this often from now on.”

In the photos, Rhee is sitting affectionately next to her mother to celebrate the birthday. The table was set with dishes including braised short ribs, and the addition of a beautifully decorated birthday cake created a simple yet sincere atmosphere of family celebration.

In particular, the photo of the mother and daughter together highlighted their similar looks. Her mother appeared so young that it was hard to believe she is 70 this year, and by showing similar eyes and facial lines to Rhee, she made the expression 'like mother, like daughter' feel real.

The photos were of a kind that could trigger reactions suggesting that Rhee's sophisticated image, which she usually shows to the public, might have been inherited from her mother. However, the core of this post lies more in the fact that the daughter personally prepared a meal for her mother's birthday rather than her appearance.

In Rhee's expression, "prepared for the first time," one can read a sense of belated gratitude toward her mother, who has prepared food for the family for a long time. In particular, her addition of "I will do this often from now on" conveys the daughter's heart to take care of her parents more frequently in the future rather than it being a one-time event.

As an actress, after debuting in the 2003 film "Wishing Stairs," Rhee built her presence in dramas such as "Boys Over Flowers," "Smile, You," "Midas," "Come Back Mister," and "Once Again." While she has mainly portrayed sophisticated and confident characters in her works, she shows a friendly image in her private life by sharing daily moments with her family.

Recently, she has not stayed only within the profession of an actress but has also revealed her unique honest and cheerful side in variety shows. In early 2026, she drew attention by revealing an anecdote where her husband, Lee Byung-hun, called her the "female Shin Dong-yup" regarding her playful nature and variety sense.

Rhee's daily life surrounding her family has also garnered public interest. Rhee and Lee Byung-hun married in 2013, and after having a son in 2015, they became a family with one son and one daughter after giving birth to a daughter in 2023.

Even after marriage, Rhee has balanced her acting career with parenting. Last year, she showed herself taking a moment to step away from her roles as a 'mother and wife' to spend time for herself by revealing that she went on a trip alone, leaving her husband and two children behind for a while.

This time, the opposite side of her daily life was revealed. It is not the image of actress Rhee having her own time, but the image of daughter Rhee preparing a birthday meal directly in front of her mother.

While celebrity family photos are usually topics of conversation due to glamorous appearances or famous family members, the impression left by these photos is somewhat different. This is because, in the sight of Rhee sitting across from her 70-year-old mother, her natural position as a daughter within a family was seen before the star's glamour.

Ultimately, the reason this post gained attention is difficult to explain solely through interest in her appearance, such as 'who she resembles.' It remains a warmer scene in that a single photo perfectly captures the relationship of a mother and daughter who share similar faces even after time has passed, and the time of a relationship where the daughter now prepares a birthday meal directly for her mother.
