Scandal
Most Korean artists accept operations to beautify themselves, but Lee Min-young underwent an operation to recover after the violence she experienced. The violence itself occurred in 2007 and was carried out by her ex-husband Lee Chan who was rumored to have hit Lee Min-young and kick her.
Because of this incident, Lee Min-young suffered a nose fracture and a miscarriage of the fetus that he conceived. But, Lee Chan said that the accusation of kicking Lee Min-young’s stomach was a lie, while Lee Min-young had to undergo surgery. Because of that, Lee Min-young divorced Lee Chan.
But, it didn’t discourage this beautiful actress from her career. Lee Min-young proved that she can still play spectacularly in dramas and movies even now. Keep fighting, Lee Min-young!
