Lee Young-ae Shares Photo with Kim Hye-ja, Dispelling Health Concerns

Actor Lee Young-ae put rumors about Kim Hye-ja’s health to rest with a single photo.

On October 20, Lee posted a photo on social media showing her sitting side by side and smiling with Kim. The photo was taken at the VIP premiere of the film "Still Radiant," which was held recently.

After watching the movie, Lee wrote, "It is so bitterly painful. Yet, I pray it remains radiant, brilliantly radiant forever. I strongly recommend it this autumn. Thank you for making such a warm film."

In the released photo, Kim warmed viewers' hearts with her signature bright smile. Above all, she looked healthy enough to dismiss recent rumors concerning her health.

Kim arrived at the red carpet of the 31st Busan International Film Festival on October 6 with assistance and was seen coughing. In addition, she missed the press preview of "Still Radiant" held on October 15 due to health issues, which had sparked speculation about her well-being.

"Still Radiant" tells the story of Sun-ok, who reunites with her best friend of 60 years who shared the most radiant moments of her life. Drawing attention as Kim's return to the big screen after nine years, the movie was released in theaters nationwide today (October 21).
