Lee Da-hae

Lee Da-hae (이다해) is an Australian-South Korean actress whose 2000s run turned wit, timing, and multilingual screen presence into one of the era's most recognizable drama brands. She broke wide with My Girl and Green Rose in 2005, then kept building range through The Slave Hunters, Miss Ripley, and later cross-market projects that expanded her profile in China as well as Korea.

That flexibility still defines her public image in 2026. Lee moves easily between Korean variety visibility, China-facing work, and the kind of celebrity-life updates that travel fast across entertainment media, including the May 2026 pregnancy announcement she shared with husband Se7en. Her appeal has never depended on one role. It comes from a career that balanced rom-com charm, period-drama intensity, and a durable off-screen familiarity that audiences kept following long after her first breakout cycle.

She is currently signed to KX Entertainment. Even with a lighter recent acting cadence, titles like My Girl, The Slave Hunters, and Iris 2 still anchor how Korean drama audiences place her: as a second-generation Hallyu lead who stayed legible across multiple markets without flattening her identity.
