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.
