The veteran actress received tens of thousands of comments after posting a video on social media, where she was seen wearing a button-down shirt and jeans on a casual day out.
Frequently sharing makeup-free selfies and candid moments, Lee said she has embraced her natural appearance, including her wrinkles.
“I often joke around and stay unfazed by rumors,” she once wrote. “I enjoy my work and take life seriously. I love my face, my body, and most of all, the way I view life.”
She added that aging has brought her wisdom, allowing her to let go of insecurity and self-doubt.
The actress spends about 90 minutes at the gym daily and lifts weights at home to build endurance, saying regular exercise lifts her spirits and gives her energy to embrace new challenges.
In a March interview with National Business Daily, Lee said she is currently studying directing and hopes to produce future film or television projects.
She also said this is the right time to fully commit herself to work.
Often seen in floral dresses on weekend outings, Lee’s playful and upbeat style has captivated fans.
Thousands of social media users say they find motivation in her workout videos, praising her vitality and dedication to health.
Still single, Lee has shared that she has gone on a few blind dates arranged by friends but has not yet met the right partner. Nevertheless, she says she is content with a joyful and independent life, both physically and mentally strong.
Before stepping into show business, Lee worked as a flight attendant for Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific.
She made her acting debut in 1990, and it was her portrayal of Xiao Long Nu in the 1995 television adaptation of Jin Yong’s “The Return of the Condor Heroes” that cemented her fame. Her performance won widespread praise—including from Jin Yong himself, who once said Lee best embodied the character in his imagination.
