In a recently released pictorial, Lee Il-hwa showcased a sophisticated image with wavy hair and smoky makeup, drawing attention for her beauty that defies her age.
Lee Il-hwa once addressed a playful scandal involving her and actor Park Bo-gum, who is 22 years younger than her, during an appearance on a variety show.
The two starred together in the drama “Reply 1988”. A dating rumor surfaced after photos of them together during a reward trip to Phuket were released. Lee Il-hwa explained that the photos were taken simply because they happened to walk together by chance, which led to the spread of the rumor. She also expressed her apologies to Park Bo-gum for the misunderstanding.
Lee Il-hwa, who was affectionately called the “Nation’s Mom” for her role in “Reply 1988”, shared that appearing in the drama marked a significant turning point in her acting career.
