• Singer Lee Hyo Ri Express Her Support For Her LGBTQIA+ Fans Who Are Undergoing Sex Change Surgery

    Singer Lee Hyo Ri began advising fans about their concerns.

    Fashion magazine W Korea's official YouTube channel posted a video content of a counseling center hosted by Lee Hyo Ri on April 1.

    In the video, Lee Hyo Ri sympathized with fans' various concerns rather than providing clear solutions, and shared her experiences and thoughts, and received favorable responses.

    In particular, she drew attention by cheering in her style while being cautious about fans who are about to undergo sex-change surgery.

    Lee Hyo Ri said, "It's a little difficult for me to tell you this because it's a heavy story, but these days, society's eyes have become more comfortable than before, but I think there must have been a bigger difficulty for me," adding, "I hope you can finish the surgery well and meet healthily."

    "Now I'm an older sister and a younger sister. I can buy cosmetics, give gifts, and get closer. Anyway, you made a decision, so I hope you put down all your worries and come back comfortably. Only when you feel comfortable can you finish the surgery well." she added.

    Finally, the prescription presented to her in a word was "beautiful no matter what." She added, "I just want you to remember that both women and men are beautiful."

    In addition, she sincerely consulted about concerns about human relationships, anxiety about being compared to others, and concerns about getting older.

    At the same time, she said, "In fact, people think I'm deep-hearted because I'm doing 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast', but I'm not. In fact, I still have a lot of worries, mistakes, and life learning. I will try to grow together and learn and become a comfortable person like a friend."

    Lee Hyo Ri is set to release the original TVing content "Seoul Check-in" in cooperation with PD Kim Tae Ho.

    "Seoul Check-in" is a real content that Lee Hyo Ri, who finished her schedule in Seoul, started out of curiosity about "where to sleep, who to meet, and where to go." It will be released on TVing on April 8.
