South Korean actress Lee Joo-young made headlines this week after she uploaded a series of holiday pictures from Bali, Indonesia, on her Instagram profile.
Lee posted some photos of herself having a relaxing holiday on September 19 on Instagram.
In the pictures, she can be seen sporting a bikini and taking a leisurely dip in an open swimming pool, even as it rains.
In addition to the photos, Lee did not provide a long caption but instead let the images speak for themselves.
The relaxed style of the photographs, which displayed her bare-faced natural face and relaxed demeanor, immediately raised engagement online.
In press articles such as in Maeil Korea, the focus in reader commentary was more on Lee's body and natural looks.

A recent story mentioned that she was "flaunting a voluptuous body with a pure look without reconnaissance," almost documenting the public's interest in her casual and effortless vibe.
The timing of the post also generated attention, coming just days ahead of the launch of her new work. Lee Joo-young will appear in the upcoming Wavve original drama "Sinnerty," launching on September 24.
According to the production team, it is a contemporary crime thriller that "portrays the reality of the next generation of cybercrime, such as voice phishing and deepfake, realistically and densely."
The series seeks to mirror increasing public concerns about digital tampering and internet fraud, with a narrative revolving around exposing cybercrime activity and the psychological burden it has on victims and investigators.
As much as Lee's specific role in the series has not yet been fully disclosed, initial promotions indicate she is a central character operating in the dark web of cybercrime.
The excitement of her fans is strong for her new drama, and even for her activities on social media.
A commenter noted "She looks so confident and stunning — can't wait to see her in Sinnerty", confirming her fans growing excitement of watching her act.
As the date of Sinnerty's release approaches, and her Bali internet post has gone viral, Lee Joo-young is starting to re-emerge as a new rising figure both online and all the television.
