As with the gorgeous Marie Claire shoot, Kim Tae-Hee shows us what seems to be her fun and fearless side for Cosmopolitan (Korea) as well as her cutesy side as Alice in Wonderland for Instyle (Korea) in the December 2007 issue.
Yawn. We know that she’s a very pretty girl, but no need to keep inundating us with pretty pictures. A far more interesting photo shoot would have been if she had acted out her butt-kicking character from her new movie, “Fight.”
Now that would be fun and fearless.

she’s kind of pretty in a boring way.
why is she even trying to look pretty. she’s already pretty.
she’s not pretty nor she’s ugly.
just average. her look is not unique just plain.
same goes with her acting too…boring
I still think that Song Hye Kyo is the most gorgeous/prettiest of all…. Song Hye Kyo is the REAL natural beautiful. I dont think KTH’s eyes are the same as before (when she was young).
The first photo was bleh.
The rest were cute though =)
well….sometimes….all you know is how to be pretty… cheerful is the only face expression she seems to know how to portray…instead of a fierce, kickass, superwoman. lol. and that’s OKAY!
i love taehee but her teeth are so huge..are they porcelain veneers? when she smiles all i see are those gigantic things looking back at me but nonetheless she’s devastatingly gorgeous.
shes pretty!
someone is jealous? ;D
she;s alright…
Don’t blame her if she rolled out of bed every morning and looked pretty… cause she is…that’s her blessing, Jeez!
I know Popseoul was trying to be sarcastic. But what bothers me is that it seems as though every single celebrity is criticized. There are a lot of American celebrity blogs which I enjoy because they are snarky, but Popseoul just does it way too often.
If the girl isn’t pretty, then you criticize that. If she is pretty, you criticize the clothes. If the clothes are nice, then you criticize her for being boring. It never ends. And I’m tired of it.
I’m going to stop reading this blog.
ha to all people who said that kim tae hee trying to b pretty its such a bad kth beauty is natural, she is cute, sweet , dont u see her photos it such a wonderful s pls dnt say a bad word bout kim tae hee coz’ure not a perfect??
u knw guys being pretty is not the physical features of one people >>>>the important is ur good manner>>>s kim tae hee only be a truth s pls dnt b jealos coz ure not
she IS the prettiest korean girl to me. the one who is boring looking and overrated is song hye kyo…
She is pretty but song hye kyo is prettier! And who says song hye kyo is boring looking.So what if you’re the prettiest girl, if you have no acting talents whatsoever, you can only be a vase. They say kim tae hee cant act but i have no comments about that because i didnt watch her shows.
She might have taken several shots within the same angle, and magazine peeps and photographers only accept the best of the bunch. Either way, she’s still very pretty.
It’s weird. I’ve never thought she was very pretty at all. I actually think Lee Da Hae is MUCH prettier…
She always looks so beautiful ..it’s kind of boring.
Song Hye Kyo is the prettiest! I don’t think KTH is that beautiful anymore, I got tired of face, boring already…
I agree! Her beauty is not as fresh as before.
Hihihi! KTH is pretty,,,,, Song Hye kyo is GORGEOUS!
the 1st time i saw her, i’m very amazed with her pretty n lovely face. she has this ’soft’ and ‘gentle’ look.
I like Kim Tae Hee’s brain,,, I love Song Hye Kyo’s beuty!
Song Hye Kyo NATURAL BEAUTY!
KTH and SHK used to be the most beautiful for me but KTH is almost dropping on my list.
How come I dont Wow! on her pictures anymore? Is her beauty diminishing? I used to fantasize her in all of her pics, what happened?
I dont find her pretty anymore!
we can’t blame her is she’s bless with such a gorgeous face. =) like song hye-gyo. it’s not her fault if she’s always pretty & stunning in every pictures. just give her credit for that. :] i love her face & the eyes, nwei, those big eyes have made her noticeable among other korean actresses.
is it the photo quality or her face?
most of the first few pictures of her just suck. she looks old. plus the skin coloration was really bad (or maybe it’s just my computer…… -.-;;)
eh…someone’s a little bit jealous….haha
eh i dun really care for taehee….i think she has a really naturally beautiful yet extremly boring face
none of her features really pop out….so bland
She is pretty from my perspective. Like not the prettiest one, but she has the girl next door look, so I don’t mind. At least she is being herself and not revealing her body in order to be considered hot, pretty or sexy.
The first photo, not a very beautiful picture. She looks like she’s trying to make her big eyes smaller. Dont! It what makes you unique compared to other Korean actresses. Both you and SHK. (But SHK is still more gorgeous and more talented than KTH.)
And she just scared me again with her big set of teeth.
Kim Tae Hee IS pretty, ara? who blogged this?? *roll eyes*
Lol Can’t you stop BLAMINNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG KTH????What’s wrong with her..she’s just perfect……..you all makes pity…be realistics and stop being jealous of her…….and look at yourself..you’re not more beautiful compared to kth…hahahhahaha..so keep quiet and stop being jealoussssssssss..ok!!!

FAINT!! FAINT!! FAINT!!
i was a big fan of hers untill i saw her@ myeongdong.. she was with this some tv people walking/interview…

now come to the FACE part.. U’ll be Shock!! Shock!! Shock!! gals shes NOT SEXY! NOT GORGEOUS! worse NOT GLAMOROUS TYPE which are expected of a celebs criteria.. she’s NOT PRETTY but SWEET~ she’s fortunate to have a very very small face!
TV loves….this kind for every angle!
so those who said that SHK is pretty and gorgeous.. dun be disappointed like me when u happen see her…
what a disappointment!! i conldn’t stop talking about it..
i was going on and on and on.. how come she looks so diferent.. how come.. how come…????
jaeee….DUDE,I JUST WANNA ASK YOU, WHATS THE POINT OF POSTING SUCH COMMENT?????????YOU THINK FANS OF HYE GYO WOULD BELIEVE YOU???………ONLY STUCK UP IDIOTS WOULD!!! EVERYBODY SAYS SHE’S EVEN A LOT PRETTIER IN PERSON..WHEN DID YOU SEE HER AT MYEONGDONG? DUMB DUDE….IF YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT SHE WAS THERE ON THE THE VERY MOMENT THAT YOU WERE THERE AND YOU’RE CLAIMING THAT YOU SAW HER, YOU’D GET SUCKED UP…YOU ASS!!!DAMN YOU!!I HOPE OTHER FANS OF HYE GYO WILL FORGIVE YOU….CUZ ME? I DEFINITELY WON’T…the way you described her is so mean, she’s just really a natural beauty that’s why she dresses up very simple…HOW COME YOU EVEN COMPARED YOU’RE STINKING SELF TO HER?IF YOU’RE PRETTIER, THEN PROBABALY YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN THE KIND OF HALLYU STAR THATS HE IS, THE ACTRESS EVERYBODY IS LOOKING UP TO, I BET EVEN KIM TAE HEE DOES, YOU IDIOT!!!
jaee,I WANNA SEE YOUR FACE, KNUCKLEHEAD!!!!!
someone above me is a knucklehead calling people asshole..huhuhuhu! SHK was at myeomgdong, i saw her on tv KBS World channel 100 program Entertainment news..10pm monday nite.. check it out! and she was ahhhhh..plain..and that walk/interview she did..i was shocked to see looking diff.
everyone has the right to voice their opinium here..
sure. n u’re 100% responsible for ur opinion.
y the comparison? are u selecting a wife? y hate one when u can love both? kim taehee looks like kim taehee here, which means gorgeous. i’ve yet to see a pic of her that makes me go yuck
@SHK- she’s natural. google her younger pictures. i’ve researched her together with other korean actresses trying to find out who’s natural & who’s a product of plastic surgery. nah! her eyes really look like that even when she was in her childhood years. haha! she got a big cutie eyes!
@tifanny- i agree with you that well at least, she’s not trying to show off much of her skin unlike other stars trying to be hot slash sexy slash noticeable & popular. nah! i like how she carries herself, she’s such a gorgeous & elegant woman. effortless beauty.
LOL! what’s with the title, btw? uh, popseoul. we can’t blame her for being pretty all the time. haha! don’t worry, we love your posts & your blog. <3
Why can’t you leave her alone. She doesn’t need to try to be beautiful cause she already is. If you don’t have anything positive to say about her better to just leave her alone. It really is frustrating to see all these stupid bashing post about her.
LOL..I think Popseoul just like to stir up topics…so people can write all these comments down and have a debate/intense discussion…so it wouldn’t be so boring. Imagine if everyone would have same opinion, same ideas…once in awhile it is nice to have a different view.
Seems like whenever there is a topic about KTH being pretty or not…there always a comparison with SHK and vice versa.
Can’t we just say both are pretty in their own ways…hehe.
They could have pick a better pic of KTH, I guess you can’t blame Popseoul for doing their job..hehe.
O geez u guys kinda irritate me with ur craziness! Song hye gyo this Kim tae hee that! They’re actresses; of course they’re pretty cuz it’s their job! i know some people have preferences and yea can sometimes critize a bit, but that’s inevitable for any celebrity. I can’t stand people who are so obsessed with their fave celebs that if someone doesn’t like their look/ability as much they just go crazy! Soulshriek, i know the story may be a bit farfetched, but wut has Song hye gyo ever done for u that u won’t EVER forgive another person for disagreeing, besides providing u with entertainment? and have u actually seen song hye gyo in person? Geez, dun let celebrities take control of you! ALL OF U! GROW FRIGGIN UP!!
be happy girls. SHe’s short
I find her really pretty.
Is she a natural beauty?
She’s natural.
Yep! the first pic. looks photoshopped but it only enhance her natural beauty.She’s gorgeous as ever.
Both her and Hye Gyo are effortless….so natural
song hye kyo is cute, but nothing special. kim tae hee is the most gorgeous. song hye kyo has no charisma, no charm.
and @ SHK: if you think kim tae hee had surgery done, take a look at your idol, song hye kyo b/c song has definitely got a fake plastic bridge.
ok, let’s set this straight for all you who say that kth is not pretty/gorgeous. she may not, in your opinion. but can any of you seriously say that you are prettier than her? i’d say that 99%~100% of you can’t. which is why you are not a celeb like her. so there. she IS pretty.
