A more detailed correction on the Lee Su-Hyun post. This Vogue cover story should be about the young actress Lee Su-Hyun who co-starred with Doona Bae in the South Korean television crime drama series "Family Matters". I apologize for posting the wrong Wiki bio, I took it out from the original post above to avoid confusion. Much appreciation to @fashionsavvvvvy for letting me know.

Making her acting debut in the 2024 drama "Family Matters" (가족계획), Lee Su-Hyun balances her career while pursuing studies at Dongduk Women's University, having graduated from Chunghyeon High School."
