Lee Young-ae, Ha Ji-won, Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Kim Hee-sun, Jang Nara, Lee Na-young, Kim Tae-hee, and Yoon Se-ah are the actresses featured in the post.
The post has gone viral in part because even as all of these actresses have started to near their forties, their influence looms large in the South Korean entertainment industry. Any one of them can still be expected to headline a project. Though their talent is considered a crucial aspect of this, their ability to still largely resemble their younger selves has also been highlighted as paramount. Some commenters have noted that simply maintaing their youthful appearance must be a full time job.
