Korean Actress Admits She Has Never Showed Her Bare Face To Her Actor Husband In 15 Years

A popular Korean actress has sparked scathing outrage on social media after confessing that she has never shown her bare face to her husband of 15 years!

The actress in question is Kim So Hyun, a popular musical actress, who is married to musical actor Son Jun Ho. This shocking revelation was made during the couple’s appearance on the KBS 1TV show AM Plaza.

During the episode, Son admitted he had never seen his wife without makeup, adding that he found her equally beautiful with or without it and couldn’t tell the difference.

Kim So Hyun then explained that she woke up earlier than Son to put on makeup. She admitted that she developed this habit from her mother, who always wore a full face at home. Her routine was tame compared to that, since the actress mentioned she usually only does her eyebrows and applies lip products. “It felt natural to me,” she confessed after giving the context.

Son Jun Ho also admitted that he had never seen his mother-in-law without makeup, and showed understanding for his wife’s habit of doing the same.

Though this episode was originally aired in 2025, Kim So Hyun’s confession recently resurfaced in the form of an X (formerly Twitter) post. With over 4.5 million views, the post has now become the center of heated discourse, with netizens voicing clear disapproval of such behavior.

I hope she doesn’t have a daughter.

자기 관리가 아니라 쌩얼을 보이는 순간 내 가치가 떨어지고 이 남자한테 버림받을지도 모른다는 외모 강박증때문이겠지

It’s likely not about self-care, but rather an obsession with appearance…the fear that the moment I reveal my bare face, my value will drop and this man might abandon me.

Psychopath

No this isn’t cool or impressive its downright toxic because women shouldn’t feel pressured to uphold extreme beauty standards to please men so much when they don’t even need to put in half the effort they do into their appearance
