(Video) Korean Actress Yoon Eun-Hye Recreates Her Iconic 'Princess Hours' Character After 20 Years
Yoon Eun-Hye recently shared a video on her YouTube channel where she recreated her look from 'Princess Hours'. In the drama, the actress played the lead role, a feisty teen named Shin Chae Kyung, who ends up engaged to Korea's crown prince. The character was extremely popular amongst the public and started a few trends, including wearing training pants underneath school uniform skirts.
It has been nearly 20 years since the drama was released, so many were curious to see how much 'Shin Chae Kyung' has changed. As it turns out, not much has changed because Yoon Eun-Hye looked almost identical to how she did when the drama came out. In addition to wearing the same outfit, the 40-year-old styled her hair to mimic her character and used props to complete the look.
Yoon Eun-Hye also shared photos of her recreated look on her Instagram account. Many fans were baffled at how the star didn't seem to age since 'Princess Hours' was first released. Others quipped that she can still play the role despite being almost 20 years older. Some also suggested she recreate another one of her iconic characters – Go Eun Chan from the hit 2007 K-drama, 'Coffee Prince (커피프린스 1호점)'.
Surprisingly, Yoon Eun-Hye wasn't the only Korean star who recently recreated their decades-old iconic look. Last week, T-ARA (티아라) member Ham Eun-Jung (함은정) shared a video on her YouTube channel where she recreated her signature bob during T-ARA's 'Bo Beep Bo Beep' promotions in 2009. Despite the 16-year difference, the idol-turned-actress looked the same as she used to.
Yoon Eun-Hye and Ham Eun-Jung are proof that some celebrities never age! While we wait for the next Korean star to recreate their iconic looks from years ago, check out Yoon Eun-Hye and Ham Eun-Jung's videos below:

Jerry Yan seen crying at Barbie Hsu's grave: 'Daoming Si came to see you'
Taiwanese stars Jerry Yan and Barbie Hsu became close friends after starring in the hit 2001 drama 'Meteor Garden'. Photos: China Press, Jerry Yan/Instagram Taiwanese actor Jerry Yan recently paid tribute to his Meteor Garden co-star Barbie Hsu, who passed away at the age of 48 on Feb 2 from pneumonia. On Aug 13, Yan, 48, was spotted at Chin Pao San Cemetery in Taipei, where Hsu is buried. This is his first time visiting her tomb. Taiwanese outlet Next Apple News reported that Yan arrived alone before meeting television host Chia Yeong-chieh and her husband Wang Chao-chieh, with whom he walked to the gravesite. There, Yan stood before the tombstone for a long time, seemingly speaking to Hsu, before quietly wiping away his tears. The trio stayed for about 13 minutes before leaving. It's also reported that Yan made a solo drive to Jinshan District, where he dined at a vegetarian cafe in honour of Hsu, who had long embraced a vegetarian lifestyle. Several passersby who spotted Yan at the restaurant said he was wiping his tears from time to time, while eating his meal. In an interview, Chia, 51, shared that since it was her first time at Hsu's grave, she wasn't sure what to say. 'So I told her, 'Shancai, Daoming Si came to see you,'' she said, referencing the characters Hsu and Yan famously portrayed in Meteor Garden . Hsu and Yan became friends in 2001 after starring in the hit drama, and their bond remained strong over the next 24 years. According to reports, during one of Yan's lowest moments, Hsu stayed up talking with him until dawn, offering encouragement and guidance. Following her passing, Yan took to Weibo to express his grief, saying he was grateful to have known her. 'You often said to live every day as if it were our last. I hope you will walk slowly this time. From now on, in another world, there will be no troubles and the years will be peaceful,' he wrote then.
