Ji Sung must be lucky to have been the one who landed this beauty queen. She has innocent eyes that can make anyone’s heart melt. In no way would have men rested until they got her if she was single, but unfortunately, she is taken.
A corporate lady
Being a model, many would expect that Lee Bo Young is one who enjoys showing her n*dity to the world. However, this is not the case because instead of short revealing clothes, she opts for full-length clothes showing minimum skin.
This is perhaps because as a mature woman, she understands that she also has other interests beyond modeling. This makes her a role model to be looked up to by young girls.
Fashion icon
She is one of those people who will look good in whatever they wear. Given that, designers dream of having her wear and endorsing their creations. She will look good at rocking a dress, suit, pants, or anything. This establishes and cements her status as a supermodel.
Lee Bo Young is a super pretty woman who was destined for greatness as a model. She indeed made her mark in the modeling world when she became Miss Korea. This was only the beginning as she, later on, launched a career in acting where she has been successful for over a decade. Still as beautiful as when she first became known to the public, Lee Bo Young continues to touch the hearts of many through her roles on and off the television.
