The 'icon of the era' Lee Hyori revealed her hidden concerns.
Lee Hyori appeared on the special 300th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' aired on the 2nd and said, "What's on my mind these days? I'm still doing ads like before and participating in all sorts of variety shows, but I'm really concerned whether I'm making progress musically. It's been a long time since I engaged in music. While I was in Jeju, I had less interaction with friends who make music, but now that I'm in Seoul, I had a meeting with a friend from America."
She continued, "I'm friends with the composer and lyricist of 'Ten Minutes,' Maybe. We created a song based on our own stories. A photo taken during a trip to L.A. 20 years ago became a hot topic, and it felt so good to have music capturing that time come back to me," recalling the stylish photos that had garnered attention on the Internet in the past.
Having moved to Seoul last year after living in Jeju, Lee Hyori said, "These days, I'm learning to sing again. I'm in touch with Kim Bum Soo, Jung In, and Kim Dong Ryul, and they still do training. Why am I not doing anything? I heard they practice every day." She confessed this while spontaneously singing songs by Kim Yuna and Kwon Jin Ah.
Lee Hyori is known as the 'icon of the era' and 'superstar,' holding records such as being listed number 891 on the front page of newspapers, the first celebrity to receive a dedicated advertisement in the industry, and the first celebrity to win both the music award and entertainment award. Although she has not stepped down from the top for 27 years, she unexpectedly expressed her anxieties, drawing attention.
Lee Hyori confessed, "Your love has been a great motivation for me. However, I was worried that it could all fly away with a small mistake. Sometimes, I fear that this love I rely on and am grateful for could disappear in an instant. I know I need to do well, but I hope you can be a bit more generous with your love. I will also give lots of love."
She added, "For 27 years, I've always been anxious. I was always afraid that love would break. I think I've always craved love because I wanted to be loved. When it breaks, can I withstand it? I'm always anxious. So now, instead of asking you to love me more, I say I will give you lots of love. While receiving love is anxiety-inducing, giving it can be done without reservation," she said, becoming emotional.
