Actress Lee Yo-won appears at fashion show with eldest daughter, a RISD graduate
Actress Lee Yo-won made a notable appearance at a fashion show alongside her eldest daughter, a graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).

Actress Lee Yo-won has drawn significant attention after appearing at a fashion show with her eldest daughter, who graduated from a prestigious art university in the United States. The daughter's visuals, boasting a tall and slender physique comparable to Lee Yo-won, who stands 173cm tall, captured the spotlight. The unexpected mother-daughter appearance also sparked interest by recalling Lee Yo-won's past as a mother who married early.
On the 4th, a video was released on the YouTube channel 'Real Actresses' featuring actresses Kim Young-ran, Lee Kyeong-jin, and So-Young Ahn attending a fashion show. At the venue, Kim Young-ran happened to encounter Lee Yo-won and greeted her first out of joy.
When Kim Young-ran asked, "Do you remember the drama we did together long ago?" and Lee Yo-won did not immediately remember, Kim mentioned the drama 'Kkokji' which aired in 2000. Upon Kim explaining, "I was Won Bin's mother," Lee Yo-won finally recalled the connection, saying, "Right, right."
The conversation between the two led to discussions regarding Lee Yo-won's marriage. Kim Young-ran reminisced, "When I saw you back then, I wondered why you were getting married so early." In response, Lee Yo-won drew laughter by pointing to her daughter standing beside her and replying, "That's why I had her." It was a moment where Lee Yo-won's family story was naturally revealed alongside the unexpected appearance of her daughter.
Lee Yo-won's eldest daughter was particularly eye-catching that day. Standing next to her mother, the daughter concentrated attention with her tall stature and slender build. Her appearance, seemingly taller than Lee Yo-won, who is 173cm, immediately made the mother-daughter duo's superior proportions a topic of conversation. Her atmosphere, appearing to resemble her mother not just in face but also in physique, was impressive.
Kim Young-ran expressed both regret and surprise while recalling Lee Yo-won's early days in the entertainment industry. "She got married at an age when she should have been expanding as a lead actress after 'Kkokji' ended," she said, adding, "I noticed her immediately when she was a rookie. I thought she would become a great actress, so I was surprised when she suddenly said she was getting married." She explained that her early marriage was especially unexpected given how highly she valued Lee Yo-won's potential as an actress at the time.
Jokes regarding the daughter continued. When the production team asked Kim Young-ran if she should give Lee Yo-won's daughter some pocket money, Kim quipped, "She earns more than I do. I heard her husband is wealthy," which turned the scene into a sea of laughter. While it was a witty joke regarding the daughter's economic capability, it drew even more attention as her background as a graduate of a prestigious American art university was revealed.
Lee Yo-won married a businessman, a former golfer, in 2003 and has one son and two daughters. Her eldest daughter is known to have graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the United States. As Lee Yo-won, who has maintained steady activities as an actress, appeared at a fashion show with her now fully grown daughter, it simultaneously recalled the actress's younger days and drew attention to the striking visuals of her adult daughter.
