Actress Lee Da-hae recently responded directly to the recent "Chinese-style face" and "plastic surgery speculation" that have surfaced as she prepares for childbirth in December.

On the 24th, Lee Da-hae posted a photo taken by staff accompanying her in Shanghai, China, on her personal account.

Lee Da-hae shared, "A staff member at our Shanghai office said, 'Sister, I think this is the last time we'll see you this year,' and wanted to take a photo, so I quickly posed while waiting. Thank you always to our staff who work hard and sincerely support us," revealing a photoshoot in which she wore a dress in China.

In the released photos, Lee Da-hae is seen drawing hearts on her belly, showing a happy demeanor as she awaits childbirth.

Along with this, Lee Da-hae stated, "When I work in China, I collaborate with local stylists and hair and makeup artists. The staff taking the photos are also all locals, and I often receive the photos after they have been fully retouched. As a result, I sometimes discover new aspects of myself that feel unfamiliar even to me." She added, "In the past, I thought something would go wrong if it wasn't the hair and makeup artists I usually worked with, but now I am enjoying the process of coordinating with new people and seeing my appearance change little by little. Rather than focusing on which country's style it is, I hope you will view it as a diverse expression of myself that emerges anew each time. Change has its own charm!"

This was her direct explanation regarding the so-called "Chinese-style" face controversy that recently arose.

Previously, through various online accounts and articles, it was pointed out that Lee Da-hae's face had taken on a Chinese look, leading to speculation about whether she had undergone plastic surgery. Since she is currently pregnant, such discussions have continued due to reasons such as the photos and vibe differing from those pursued in Korea.

Lee Da-hae, who has less than two months left until childbirth, responded with a candid statement rather than letting the controversy pass by.

Many members of the public are sending support to Lee Da-hae for her stance asking people to appreciate her new look rather than focusing on which country's style it is.

Meanwhile, news of Lee Da-hae's pregnancy attracted significant attention not only in Korea but also in China. In particular, the fact that Lee Da-hae's belly was small became a topic of conversation in China.

Lee Da-hae married same-age celebrity Se7en in 2023. The couple recently announced their first pregnancy after three years of marriage. They are scheduled to give birth in December, and the second child is a daughter.
