Clara Lee (Korean: 클라라 리) (born Lee Sung-min (Korean: 이성민), January 15, 1986), better known by her mononym, Clara (Korean: 클라라), is a Swiss-born British-Korean actress and model.[2] She is the daughter of South Korean singer Lee Seung-kyu, a former member of the bilingual band, Koreana.[3]
Clara made her entertainment debut under her birth name in 2005 and starred in her first film in 2009, Five Senses of Eros. In January 2012, she adopted Clara as her stage name, which was announced at a press conference for the drama series, Take Care of Us, Captain. Reasons given for the name change included the fact that her birth name, Sung-min, was "male-sounding" and that her English name had always been Clara.[4]
In May 2013, Clara became an overnight sensation online after throwing a ceremonial first pitch in a professional baseball game dressed in form-fitting leggings.[5] She has since been hailed as an up-and-coming star and a sex symbol.[6][7] In September 2013, Clara drew criticism from South Korean netizens for apparently contradicting herself on television by saying she liked to eat chicken and drink beer in one program and stating the contrary in another. Consequently, she closed down her Twitter and Facebook accounts.[8][9] Afterwards, she again played supporting roles in the television series Goddess of Marriage and Emergency Couple.[10][11][12]
