Asian culture, lifestyle, food, travel & entertainment
Actress Lee Si-young has joined the South Korean national boxing squad after winning a tryout tournament on April 24. She can now represent Korea in international competitions, and also in contention for a spot in the 2014 Asian Games.
It’s not uncommon to see national athletes venturing into showbiz, it’s definitely rare the other way around (officially the first in South Korea). Congrats, and brava!
InStyle Korea [Kr] has published a special photo book – 100 Star Craft – featuring 100 top Korean celebrities in celebration of its 100th issue.
Among the featured stars are Daniel Henney, Lee Si-young, Han Chae-young, Song Joong-ki, f(x), TVXQ, Han Hyo-joo and Lee Minho etc. Nice photoshoot…
Daniel Henney
Korean actress Lee Si-young is featured in latest issue of Marie Claire [Kr] Magazine. The lady is a hot topic since winning a boxing tournament in 2010, and she’s pursuing her goal to get into the national team (update: she made it in 2013).
Korean Allure Magazine [Kr] is featuring an interesting segment for its February issue, titled The Moment, which showcases 14 lovely actresses making their final hour preparations for various year end award ceremonies and red carpet events.
The featured stars include Park Min-young, Song Ji-hyo, Kim Jung-eun, Jo Yoon-hee, Kim So-yeon, Han Hye-jin, Seo Woo, Min Hyo-rin, Lee Si-young, Lee Yoon-ji, Yoo Ho-jeong, Lee So-yeon, Han Eun-jung and Jung So-min…
Park Min-young
Korean actress Lee Si-young recently made headline by winning her first boxing championship, presumably in an amateur (or intermediate) tournament.
It’s not uncommon for celebrities to have a hobby like every other person, but it’s definitely unusual to see a pretty actress taking a combative sport seriously.
Most celebrities would avoid taking part in something that could leave a scar or bruise on their face. She’s cool, good luck to her future tournaments.
[Update] She made it into the South Korean national team in 2013, brava!!!
