59-year-old Kim Hee-ae "How are the wrinkles?" Confronts aging criticisms head-on

59-year-old Kim Hee-ae did not hide her bare face once again. After her natural face was revealed at the recent Paris Fashion Week, leading to criticisms regarding "aging," Kim Hee-ae remains unbothered and has once again revealed her unadorned appearance.

On the 5th, Kim Hee-ae released several photos on her SNS with the message, "Arrived in South Korea!! I am so moved that you came to the airport and even prepared precious gifts." The photos captured the gifts received from fans and the autumn scenery after returning to South Korea following her Paris Fashion Week schedule.

What drew attention was, as expected, Kim Hee-ae's face. Although she was covering part of her face with large glasses and a mask, her makeup-free appearance was naturally revealed, and she did not go out of her way to hide the wrinkles around her eyes and forehead.

Previously, after a video filmed at the Paris Fashion Week site was released, some reactions pointed out "aging" regarding Kim Hee-ae's face. As she has been loved for her smooth and glowing image while working as a model for cosmetic brands for a long time, her natural appearance in the video without post-processing became even more of a hot topic.

However, Kim Hee-ae continues to reveal her face exactly as it is. Whether in Paris or Seoul, she is making the choice to naturally reveal even the traces of time rather than only showing a perfectly groomed appearance.

In particular, these photos draw even more attention as they are daily life photos recording the moment she was moved by the fans' hospitality. Rather than the gaze of "wrinkles are visible," Kim Hee-ae's reaction, expressing that she was "so moved" by the gifts and warm hearts sent by fans, left an even stronger impression.

Kim Hee-ae, who married in 1996, has two sons. She is scheduled to meet viewers again through the new JTBC drama "Gold Digger," which is set to be released in the second half of this year.

Kim Hee-ae, who has maintained her position as a top actress for so long that her age of 59 seems irrelevant. Her appearance of confidently revealing not just a perfectly refined face, but a natural face, is creating another wave of discussion.
