Lee Young Ae attends Charity Show in Shanghai

Lee Young Ae is probably one of the biggest celebrities in Asia at the moment, mainly due to the popularity of the Kdrama Dae Jang Geum (aka The Great Jang Geum or the international title "The Jewel in the Palace").


I'm not going to do a full review of LYA, as you could probably google on her name and you will find many awesome sites out there that will give you details about her. (Not to mention all the wallpapers and vods).

This might take a bit to load, but it's well worth it. (There's a bonus at the end of the clip - you'll see LYA sing Onara).


oh my god, I wish I was in shanghai at the time when LYA came. LYA has been traveling around Asia attending and helping these charity events. In this case however, Kelly Chen (a Popular Hong Kong actress/singer) also met LYA while she was in shanghai. That's got to tell you something, even Chinese celebrities are fans of LYA. But dang, to have both of them in the same place is like heaven. Two of the most beautiful asian ladies in the world at one place. During their meeting, you could hear that they were exchanging compliments to each other. I had a friend translate some of the words that Kelly Chen had commented on LYA in mandarin, "Her skin is very smooth...and she is also very feminine..." LYA is admired by so many in East Asia and I'm sure here in the Americas as well. Only if she would come, that would really be awesome to get her autograph (I already got Kelly chens at her 2003 concert in San Francisco). Of all the comments or compliments I've heard of LYA, I think the best one came from the LG Electronics referring to LYA as Asia's Sweetheart. "Lee Young Ae is more than just a beautiful actress," said Mr. Sang kook Chung, Executive Vice President of LG Electronics, "While her image is sophisticated and upscale, Lee young Ae as Daejanggeum projects the aura of an out-of-box thinker and caring human being."
