Parasite’s Cho Yeo-jeong, Song Hye-kyo, Crash Landing on You’s Son Ye-jin and 4 more Korean beauty icons close to 40 reveal their age-defying skincare secrets
It’s hard to believe that these gorgeous Hallyu actresses are closing in on 40 – although some have already entered that era, according to the Korean age system
Did you know that age is calculated differently in South Korea? Everyone is considered a one-year-old the day they are born, and they get older every New Year’s Day.
That’s why, in 2020, a few gorgeous Hallyu actresses have technically entered their forties or are just one or two years shy from being a forty-something. It’s hard to believe that based on their looks. Maybe the fountain of youth flows through the Han River? Or perhaps South Korea is just that good when it comes to beauty (and preserving it over decades).
Going by their international ages, we’ve listed some of the most beautiful Korean actresses who are unbelievably almost 40. Find out what their beauty secrets are to looking fresh and youthful.
Son Ye-jin, 38 (Born January 11, 1982)
The actress has been making headlines lately because of her hit drama, Crash Landing on You . In the series, we see her use several skincare products that she swears by in real life. Her dewy complexion is to die for, so you’ll wonder what she uses to get that glow.

Vanav UP6 Galvanic Ion Massager, 288,000 won (US$244)
Aside from these beauty tools, daily facial masks are part of her skincare regimen. She also makes sure to hydrate and sleep a lot, wear sunscreen, and cleanse her face day and night.
