Fans of South Korean dramas will not be unfamiliar with actress Lee Si-young. But did you know that besides starring in shows such as Meet the In-Laws (2011), How To Use Guys With Secret Tips (2013) and Netflix's Sweet Home (2020), the thespian was an amateur boxer? She was set to try out for the national team for the 2015 Summer Olympics in Brazil before she had to retire due to recurring injuries.

These days, Lee Si-young has found fame on a different platform: TikTok. In fact, she was the first Korean actress to hit 10 million followers on the social media platform, all thanks to her creative and funny videos. In celebration of her birthday on April 17, here are 10 of the funniest TikToks she has put out.

The duality of humans

1/10

Truth be told, who else is like that? We feel seen.

When a hottie passes by

2/10

Don't lie, you know you have always wanted to re-enact the iconic romantic scenes from Korean dramas whenever you see a hottie pass by - just make sure you don't have a friend with you to disrupt your attempt.

Marriage proposal

3/10

Having your hand asked for marriage is likely one of the memories you'll treasure forever (unless you get a divorce...). But before you say "yes", make sure it's actually a ring you're presented with.

I'm just trying to help

4/10

"Thanks, you've been a great help."

Workplace communication

5/10

*Cues workshop on how to effectively communicate at work*

When you see a couple fight

6/10

Busybodies? Nah, we just want to know why the couple is fighting so we can avoid the same problem that they are facing.

Thank you

7/10

They say to live your life with no regrets, but why does the scene of us thanking someone who thanked us haunt us late at night?

Theory of relativity

8/10

The only thing longer than waiting for the days of dieting to pass is looking at the seconds tick when we are on the treadmill.

The eggshell problem

9/10

Removing eggshells from a cracked egg is possibly one of the most challenging tasks you'll ever encounter in your life. PS: a foolproof method is to wet your fingertips first before dipping them into the egg to remove the shell.

Long hair woes

10/10

We all want that long, lustrous and bouncy hair we see on TV commercials, until we sit down to eat at the dining table without a hairband.
