Actress Kim Hee-ae has drawn attention with an interview video released at Paris Fashion Week.
Following the release of the video on October 3, reactions continued to focus on the natural changes in her face rather than her outfit or the event.
The question of why an actress’s appearance becomes subject to evaluation is also significant in what these reactions have left behind.
3-Line Summary
1. Kim Hee-ae’s Paris video has become a topic of discussion
2. The video was posted on social media on October 3
3. Judging someone’s appearance and appreciating it are separate matters
Footage from Paris Fashion Week Released on October 3
Kim Hee-ae attended the LOEWE show at Paris Fashion Week in France. In footage from the event posted on October 3 by the official Eyes Magazine social media account, Kim Hee-ae, dressed in a black top with short hair, can be seen greeting the camera. Several reports said the video was filmed from close range, making the texture of her skin and her wrinkles clearly visible.
After the video spread, attention shifted from the fashion and interview content to changes in her face. While some people offered support for her natural aging, others responded by evaluating her wrinkles or body shape. Reactions to the same video were divided, but comments that closely judge someone’s appearance need to be viewed as a separate issue from the context of a fashion event.
Where Old Remarks Met This Latest Reaction
In a 2014 interview around the release of the film *Elegant Lies*, Kim Hee-ae calmly mentioned presbyopia, gray hair, and wrinkles. According to reports by Star News and Sports Kyunghyang, she said at the time that looking in the mirror made her feel the passage of time, and she also mentioned computer-graphics work used to erase wrinkles in an advertising video.
For that reason, this video can be read not as a new confession or announcement of a position, but as a scene that naturally connects with an attitude known since the past. However, judging whether she manages her appearance or assessing her health based on a single scene in the video is not a confirmed fact. How someone appears close to a camera and how one evaluates that person’s life are separate matters.
Reports Confirm Kim Hee-ae’s Casting in *Gold Digger* as Her Next Project
Kim Hee-ae’s next activity is reportedly JTBC’s new drama *Gold Digger*. TenAsia reported that Kim Hee-ae’s appearance had been confirmed, while Sports Donga reported that the work is scheduled to be released in the first half of next year. However, the release timing may change during the production and scheduling process, so it is difficult to treat it as a confirmed broadcast date.
What deserves closer attention in this latest topic is not the actress’s face, but how easily a short video outside of a production can spread into evaluations of someone’s appearance. The scene Kim Hee-ae left behind in Paris was a record of her attendance at Fashion Week, but the public reaction also revealed standards for viewing aging.
