Lee Young-Ae (born January 31 1971) is a Korean actress who has a great fan base in Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia and numerous other Asian countries, particularly East Asian countries which have been hit by the Korean Wave. She is best known by the sobriquets 'Oxygen Lady' and 'Asia Sweetheart' due to her cherubic beauty.
