Singer Lee Hyori, who opened a yoga studio, politely declined gifts and sponsorships. This signifies her intention to create a space where she can focus on practice rather than be adorned with gifts and sponsorships.
On the 4th, Lee Hyori left a message on her yoga studio channel, saying, "I respectfully decline any more pots and gifts. I will only accept grateful sentiments. I aim for an empty practice space so that more people can practice." This indicated her intention to focus on the purpose of the yoga studio.

Afterward, Lee Hyori also received and acknowledged gifts from close friends. Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk first gifted her a large flower pot with the message, "Director Lee Hyori, may your business prosper." Because they showcased their "sibling chemistry" on variety shows for a long time, it was Yoo Jae-suk who first supported Lee Hyori's new start.
Following that, Lee Hyori revealed a flower pot sent by fellow singer Babylon through her yoga studio channel. Babylon wrote, "Congratulations on your yoga studio opening, Hyori noona." Additionally, former basketball player and broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon also gifted a large flower pot, saying, "I wish for your eternal success, Director Lee Hyori," to which Lee Hyori responded, "I will succeed, oppa."
Amid the congratulations from her colleagues, Lee Hyori announced that she would not accept any more opening gifts and expressed her polite refusal. This was because she needed a space that allowed for concentration on meditation and practice, due to the nature of the yoga studio. Lee Hyori made a public announcement to seek understanding from her acquaintances.
Earlier, Lee Hyori had expressed her intention to decline all sponsorship offers for the yoga studio. After opening the studio, she posted a notice stating, "Ananda Yoga Studio respectfully declines all sponsorships and proposals. We strive to create a calm environment for concentration."
Being recognized as a leading yoga enthusiast in the entertainment industry, Lee Hyori's intent was to focus on her original purpose rather than embark on a glamorous start.
