The model-turned-actress is often referred to as the "Gigi Hadid of South Korea" but she proves that she’s a fashion icon of her own right
While she’s dubbed by many as the "Gigi Hadid of South Korea", Lee Sung-kyung is a woman of her own name. The model-turned-actress started off with supporting roles but her rise to fame came in the youth sports drama, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo which was inspired by the real-life story of Olympic weightlifting legend, Jang Mi-ran.
More than her model status—a stunner thanks to her tall stature—the ulzzang (a Korean term meaning best face or good-looking) head turner showcased her acting skills for her first leading role and quickly rose on the list of actresses to watch out for, supported by the huge cult following of the drama.
The multi-talented actress also plays the piano, drums, and can sing and dance on top of modelling and acting. But throughout her colourful career, she also made a name of herself as one of the most fashionable celebrities in the Korean entertainment scene, thanks to her humble beginnings as a model.
Here, we look back at some of Lee Sung-kyung’s most stylish looks where she proved that she’s a fashion icon in her own right.
