Actress Lee Si-won, best known internationally for her standout role in Netflix’s The Devil’s Plan, has officially become a mother. According to an exclusive report by Edaily on May 20, the actress has given birth to a healthy baby girl.
Sources confirmed that both Lee and her newborn are in good health. After a period of postpartum recovery, Lee reportedly plans to resume her professional activities and reignite her acting career.
Celebrated as one of Korea’s “brainy beauties,” Lee Si-won boasts impressive academic credentials. She studied Business Administration at Seoul National University, one of Korea’s most prestigious institutions, and even pursued graduate studies in evolutionary psychology at the same university.
Since her debut in the 2012 KBS1 historical drama Dream of the Emperor, Lee has steadily built a diverse acting portfolio. She has starred in fan-favorite dramas such as God’s Gift: 14 Days, Misaeng, Who Are You: School 2015, Beautiful Mind, Queen of Mystery, Suits, and Memories of the Alhambra.
Outside of scripted roles, Lee Si-won has shined on variety shows such as Good People and The Ranksters, where her intelligence and humor stood out. She also appeared on the educational program The Day, History Journal, earning praise for her eloquence and depth of knowledge.
However, it was the 2023 Netflix reality series The Devil’s Plan that propelled her to global fame. Known for her composed strategy and ethical gameplay, Lee became a breakout star and was hailed as a “kingmaker” for helping fellow contestant Ha Seok-jin secure the win. The chemistry and intelligence displayed by both players were so well-received that the show was renewed for a second season.
Now entering a new chapter as a mother, Lee Si-won’s fans are eagerly anticipating her return—not just to the screen, but as a multifaceted figure balancing intellect, talent, and motherhood with grace.
