Actress Lee Min-jung Gains Attention for Resemblance to Late Grandfather, Artist Park No-soo

Actress Lee Min-jung is making headlines for her striking resemblance to her late grandfather, renowned artist Park No-soo.

On the 26th, a video titled 'Park Won-sook's Collection Revealed' was uploaded to Park Won-sook's YouTube channel.

In the video, Park Won-sook showcased various art pieces she owns. Pointing to one artwork, she explained, "This is a painting by Park No-soo. I received it directly from his home in Buam-dong."

A photo was shared comparing the faces of Park No-soo and Lee Min-jung side by side. Their facial features, overall aura, and even the slight tilt of their heads were remarkably similar. A caption noted, 'Actress Lee Min-jung is his granddaughter.'

Park No-soo was a pioneering figure in Korean art, being one of the first graduates of Seoul National University's College of Fine Arts in 1949. He was the first artist with formal art education to become a recommended artist at the National Art Exhibition. He also served as a professor at Ewha Womans University and Seoul Women's University, contributing significantly to the development of Korean art with his unique style. He passed away in 2013 at the age of 86.

Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung married actor Lee Byung-hun in 2013, and they have a son and a daughter. She recently joined MBC's new variety show '1st Place' as a host.
