With the leaves turning orange and red, a new trend has emerged in online discussions: flight attendants revealing what celebrities are like in the air.
In a recent video, Kkiuyu—a former flight attendant at Korean Air—ranked the top three "real gangster" actresses based on their encounters.
Interestingly, the list not only defines beauty but also showcases the glamour and poise of these actresses in real life at a high level.
Third Place: Jeon Ji Hyun
In 3rd place is South Korean actress Jeon Ji Hyun. Jeon put a lasting impression on Kkiyu during a first-class flight, where she is traced for her beauty and appealing figure.
The flight attendant mentioned that Jeon looked simple in her clothing but was still able to carry an elegant and sophisticated air, which was described as giving off a "cool" vibe instead of pretty.
She still continues to be praised by fans and respected by co-actors even after her marriage.
Second Place: Han Ji Min
Coming in second is petite actress Han Ji Min, whose itty-bitty shape scored her the title for "ideal form." Kkiuyu remembered Han from economy class when she was dressed in hiking gear.
The no-makeup beauty of the actress was captivating and the surrounding silence seemingly softer than her delicate appearance. The cabin crew raved about her kind demeanor, which translates to aficionados and industry associates alike landing Grace with the crown of the most delightful starlet ever.
First Place: Kim Hee Sun
First on the ranking was Kim Hee Sun, who is still considered a "national beauty." The 1990s crown jewel, Kim has preserved her reign as elite screen talent.
In turn, Kkiuyu labeled her 'overpowering' in real life, saying that she looks way better IRL than what we see on TV. She was often affectionately called "Goddess Hee-sun" by those who encountered her, thanks to her striking resemblance and warm demeanor. Combined with her graciousness and charm—she really was a real knockout, all dolled up and yet down-to-earth; an elegant and indelible star in our hearts.
This brings to mind Kkiuyu's perspective on these actresses, who possess qualities that extend beyond their on-screen characters. While fans revel in stories about their favorite stars, the flight attendants provide insights into the behind-the-scenes personalities of these beloved actresses.
Although many of their rankings have been validated online, fans are eager to learn more about their favorites. As a result, passengers had the opportunity to appreciate the "real gangster" personas of these actresses just as much as their fans at home do.
