It's hard to believe but there are quite a few kdrama actors who don't like the way they look. Both Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye were recently quoted as saying they did not like their looks.
Park Shin Hye, who stars in "The Heirs" with Lee Min Ho, does not think she is attractive and in the past considered getting plastic surgery on her nose.
"As the tip of my nose is slightly crooked, I got comments from people saying that I looked ugly, or that the end of my nose looked like it was split in the middle," she said.
But she decided that although she did not consider herself attractive, she would learn to love her nose and the way she looked.
"I now consider it unique," she said. And so do her fans.
In not liking herself she has something in common with her co-star Lee Min Ho.
Accused of always looking in the mirror, he explained that he was concerned about his sideburns. But he admits to also being insecure about his looks. He does not think he is handsome.
"My face and my defined double eyelids cause me some insecurity," said Lee Min Ho.
He thinks that he is not as good looking as his male co-stars Kim Woo Bin or Park Hyung Sik. He envies Kim Woo Bin's fair skin and Park Hyung Sik's cute features.
Meanwhile Infnite's L, who was cute enough to play the young So Ji Sub on "The Master's Sun" and an indie rocker with idol potential in "Shut Up Flower Boy Band" does not like his looks.
When asked how he felt about his face, he said, "I'm not satisfied with it. I always wished my face had more character to it."
And Yeo Jin Goo, who appeared as the young Park Yoo Chun in "Missing You" and appears as a boy with five criminal fathers in the film "Hwai," does not think much of his looks either.
"Honestly, I don't think I am a good looking actor," said the 17-year-old. Fans would disagree.
And more actresses these days admit to having surgery when they don't like their looks. Lee Si Young, who appeared in "Boys Over Flowers" thought that her face was too plump so she had surgery at age 23. Lee Da Hae admitted to having work done and Kim Yoon Hye, known as Woori, was so unhappy with her looks that she made some changes.
"My eyes, nose and mouth are all mine but because people did not like the line underneath, I changed it," said Woori. "Now I am more confident."
Hopefully, Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye will never be persuaded to have plastic surgery.
