[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actress Lee Cheong-ah (37) revealed her thoughts on what it means to be in her 40s.

Lee Cheong-ah appeared on the KBS2 educational program 'Dool Hakdang Suda Seung-cheol' on the 15th alongside her father, Lee Seung-chul. The topic of the day was beauty and ugliness, and Lee Cheong-ah shared her thoughts on her appearance.

Lee Cheong-ah said, "As I entered my 30s, I like my current face better," adding, "These days, when I'm tired, my face looks sunken and my double eyelids look like three or four layers." She continued, "I worry, thinking 'There are so many good technologies in the world,' but I try not to forget that the before is more beautiful."

She went on, "In my opinion, my facial features are not large," and revealed, "When I was young, the more makeup I wore, the more I felt like I was wearing a mask."

Lee Cheong-ah also shared her experience of minimizing makeup in a drama. She explained, "The role I played at the time was the head of a drama production company. The writer described the character as 'a strong juniper tree that has withstood the wind well.' I thought, would such a woman really wear beautiful makeup from the morning?"

After attending Dool's lecture, Lee Cheong-ah said, "Listening to the teacher's lecture gave me confidence. I realized that I am in the process of becoming beautiful," emphasizing, "I believe that as it accumulates, I will come to like myself."

When host Lee Seung-chul asked about marriage, Lee Cheong-ah said, "I hope it’s less intense." She added, "(A husband and children) probably won’t be part of it. In the life plan I have drawn up now, it’s a bit too early."
