The daughter of actor Lee Ji-hoon and his Japanese wife Ayane, Roo-hee, celebrated her first birthday in an unusual atmosphere. Stylist Kim Woo-ri shared her experience attending Roo-hee's birthday party on the 14th through her Instagram.
Kim Woo-ri posted, "What is this innovative wedding-like birthday party? Haha, a Monday lunch party at 12:30 p.m. Haha, isn't it great? It feels like a break for lunch while working, right? Haha, even the celebratory song is by Chang-jung, with a glass of soju. Haha, I felt like I was back in the waiting room with the top candidates for the 2000 Popular Song Awards while greeting the celebrity guests here."
She added a message saying, "May our Roo-hee, daddy Roo-hee, and mommy Roo-hee be healthy and happy~ May our Roo-hee stay healthy~~~."
In the released video, there is a photo wall with messages such as 'Roo-hee's dad Lee Ji-hoon', 'Roo-hee's mom Ayane', and 'Always be happy with Roo-hee', alongside cute photos of Roo-hee and heartwarming family moments that bring smiles to the viewers. Boom, Kim Tae-woo, Lim Chang-jung, and others presented congratulatory performances.
On that day, Lee Ji-hoon was also spotted appearing on stage, holding his daughter Roo-hee, while Ayane caught attention in a bright dress. The smile captured with the caption 'Roo-hee's mom' resembled a wedding photo shoot.
Previously, Ayane garnered attention by posting a video trying on several dresses on her SNS, asking fans to help choose the outfit for the birthday party, saying, "Help me choose what to wear for the birthday party." While supportive comments like "Everything looks good," and "Pretty" poured in, some internet users expressed realistic concerns, saying, "It's too flashy," "Mom standing out when the child is the main character isn't right," and "Wearing a hanbok would be more natural."
In response to the growing controversy, Ayane stated, "It wasn't about wanting to be the center of attention. However, since I had worked hard as a mom, I wanted to look pretty and welcome our guests." She added, "The idea that mothers should dress modestly is a thing of the past. We are preparing for a birthday party that is more like a birthday bash, and my family and husband will help take care of the child."
