Why Actress Lee Joo-bin's 'Legendary ID Photo' is Gaining Attention Again

Actress Lee Joo-bin's ID photo continues to be a hot topic online, recently garnering renewed public interest after being featured on the variety show 'Running Man'. Taken in 2017, before her widespread recognition as an actress, the photo was praised for her distinct features and neat demeanor, earning it the title of an 'all-time legendary ID photo'.

Lee Joo-bin's ID photo was not taken in a typical ID photo studio but rather as a prop in a studio during a beauty model part-time job for a drama casting. The photo stood out for its natural yet refined impression. It was even misused in cases of second-hand transaction fraud and illegal gambling sites as a fake ID, leading her agency to take legal action. Yoo Jae-suk once referred to this photo as the 'textbook of ID photos'.

Bloggers note that the photo's appeal extends beyond its beauty, with its unique backstory and subsequent events adding to its intrigue. It has become one of the defining images associated with actress Lee Joo-bin, and she herself has expressed gratitude for the positive reception it has received.
