Actress Clara made an appearance at a domestic event after a long hiatus, captivating attention with her transformed look, which she highlighted with a daring short haircut and a bold lingerie-inspired outfit.

Clara attended the '2024 Korea Best Brand Awards - Korea Hallyu Entertainment Awards,' held today (22nd) at the National Assembly Hall in Seoul. The '2024 Korea Best Brand Awards' is a prestigious event celebrating stars, brands, and influencers admired and trusted by consumers.

At the event, Clara turned heads in a crisp white suit. Having recently cut her long hair last month, she exuded a sleek and androgynous charm with her sharp short hairstyle and tailored attire. Adding to her striking appearance, Clara layered her ensemble with a black lingerie-style top that amplified her sultry vibe, complemented by bold gold hoop earrings for an extra touch of sophistication.

What caught everyone’s attention most, however, was Clara's face, which appeared subtly different. Her fuller lips and refined features became a talking point, making her transformation all the more noticeable.

Clara has been actively working in China, starring in the Youku drama 'Chilgeunsimgan' and filming the movie 'Jipdo' since last month alongside actor Simon Yam. For her new role, she embraced a bold short haircut and is set to showcase impressive action sequences in the project.

Clara first debuted in 2004 as a CF model and went on to star in popular dramas such as 'Invisible Man Choi Jang-soo' and 'High Kick!' She rose to widespread fame in 2013 with her unforgettable ceremonial pitch for the Doosan Bears.

More recently, Clara shifted her career focus to China, appearing in dramas like 'Happy Cooperation' and the film 'Line Walker.' In 2019, she married Samuel Hwang, a Korean-American entrepreneur two years her senior, in the United States.
