Lee Hyori is once again proving that her influence goes far beyond the stage.
💌 A Connection Born on a Plane
According to Antenna, Lee Hyori has been personally keeping in touch with YouTuber A, who suffers from epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic skin condition. Their friendship began in 2023 when they sat next to each other on a flight to Jeju Island. During the trip, Hyori listened attentively to A's story of living with a rare disease.
🏥 A Surprise Hospital Visit
In a recent vlog, YouTuber A revealed that Hyori even visited her in the hospital during a period of treatment. "She stayed with me for an hour, chatting and brightening up my day," A shared. "Even though she must've been busy, she brought light into my dull hospital life."
🎶 Dancing at a Festival Together
The connection didn't end there. Lee Hyori invited A to attend the 2025 Seoul Jazz Festival together, and they were spotted enjoying a performance by Hyori's husband, musician Lee Sang Soon. In the vlog, Hyori is seen hugging A and dancing freely, showing their natural chemistry and joy.
🌟 "I'll Never Forget This"
"It was such an exciting and unforgettable memory for someone like me, who usually lives a quiet life," A said. "I'm so thankful to Hyori unnie for making it happen."
💖 Always Giving Back
Lee Hyori has a long history of quiet generosity. Just last month, she and Lee Sang Soon donated ₩200 million KRW to support youth aging out of institutional care through the Beautiful Foundation.
