Lee Da-hee (Korean: 이다희; born March 15, 1985) is a South Korean model and actress.[3] Her breakout role was in the 2013 SBS courtroom drama I Can Hear Your Voice.[4] She is also known for her role as Kang Sa-ra in The Beauty Inside (2018) and Cha Hyeon in Search: WWW (2019).

Career

At the age of 17, Lee Da-hee competed in the 2002 SBS Super Elite Model Contest, where she was a finalist.[4] She began her acting career by playing supporting roles in television dramas, including The Legend, Birdie Buddy, and Secret Love, and in films, including Harmony.[5][6]

Lee's breakout year was 2013, when she appeared in the hit courtroom drama I Can Hear Your Voice.[4] This was followed by her first leading role in a television drama, the 2014 revenge drama Big Man.[7] Her popularity increased further when she appeared in the 2015 drama Mrs. Cop.[8] In 2016, Lee signed with the talent agency Huayi Brothers.[6]

In 2018, Lee starred in the hit romantic comedy series The Beauty Inside.[9] In 2019, Lee was cast as one of three female leads in the romance drama Search: WWW alongside Lee Jae-wook.[10] On July 3, she was announced as a host for the girl group reality series Queendom alongside Jang Sung-kyu, and premiered in late August.[11][unreliable source?]

On March 11, 2020, she was announced as a host, alongside Jang Sung-kyu, for the upcoming Mnet boy group reality series Road to Kingdom, which is the sequel to Queendom.[12]

In November 2022, Lee signed with Ghost Studio.[13]

Personal life

Lee Da-hee has a younger brother, Lee Tae-hee (born 1994), who is also an actor and is represented by the same talent agency.[15][16] In August 2025, she posted a photograph from a movie outing with him, accompanied by the caption "I love you," which led some followers to briefly mistake him for a romantic partner.[17][18] On March 17, 2026, Lee shared photos and videos of herself with her younger brother at a self‑photo studio. The poses, including her touching his cheek and their close proximity, prompted fans to again mistake him for her boyfriend before his identity was clarified.[19][20][15]
