Actress Lee Chae-young, one of Korea’s hottest female celebrities, thinks the sex appeal of stars like herself will wither and die within three years.

She made the self-reflective comment on MBC’s Wednesday night talk show “Radio Star.”

Referring to fellow stars like Clara Lee and Lee Tae-im, she said, “Frankly, I think all the focus on us will dwindle and completely wilt in three years. Physical attractiveness is that limited.”

It is a rare remark from a sex-symbol celebrity like Lee in a cultural setting where being sexy can bring easy fame.

Lee, 28, made headlines in July when she said her bucket list included posing as a lingerie model before she turned 40.

She is also less famous for her acting than for showing her cleavage at movie festivals and on TV award shows.
