Korean Actors Who Already Marriage (Source: Various)

In the South Korean entertainment industry, real-life romantic relationships between actors and actresses often carry a negative stigma compared to Hollywood. Celebrities who are in relationships tend to lose popularity and get abandoned by fans, as the South Korean entertainment industry follows a marketing system called "Parasocial Relationships." This system markets celebrities as easily approachable figures, often seen as fantasy partners by fans.

However, there are two South Korean actresses whose careers have remained successful both before and after marriage. These top-tier stars have proven that marriage is not an obstacle to continuing what they love and even achieving greater success.

Who are they? Here are their profiles:



1. Honey Lee

Honey Lee, whose real name is Lee Ha Nee, has had a long and sustained career in the South Korean entertainment industry. Born into a wealthy family with a love for the arts, Honey Lee has achieved numerous accomplishments. She is an alumna of the prestigious Seoul National University, where she majored in traditional Korean music. Her skill in playing the Gayageum, a traditional Korean string instrument, combined with her beauty and exceptional intelligence, led her to win the Miss Korea 2006 beauty pageant.

2. Jeon Mido

Jeon Mi Do began her career as a musical theater artist in 2006. With a strong desire to become a performer, she made the bold decision to leave her hometown of Busan for Seoul to study Theater and Film at Myongji University.

Her decision paid off. Today, she has performed in dozens of theater and musical productions. Her dedication to theater for 14 years led to new opportunities. In 2020, Jeon Mi Do landed her first television drama role, which catapulted her into fame.

Breaking the Stigma: Marriage and Career Success

Honey Lee and Jeon Mi Do prove that marrying at an older age and finding the right partner can break the stigma that marriage hampers a career. After getting married, many opportunities opened up for both actresses, and by seizing those opportunities, they maximize their potential.

The same principle applies to business. If you want to maximize your business potential, don't hesitate to take opportunities, just like Kopiko, which collaborated with Linkmedia Advertising Agency to incorporate built-in/product placements (PPL) in over 20 popular Korean dramas, including Vincenzo, Marry My Husband, Hometown Cha Cha Cha, The Fiery Priest 2 and Connection. This innovation boosted Kopiko’s brand awareness and sales, not only in Indonesia but also internationally.
