Recently the singer Lee Young-ji, who announced the comeback of the web variety show "Cha-jwi-ppul," became the center of attention with a surprise confession about plastic surgery. Her characteristic frank and unfiltered talk once again hit the mark, bringing big laughs to fans.
On the 17th Lee Young-ji asked, "Anyone remember Jachwi-ppul?" and announced the return of "Cha-jwi-ppul (I have nothing to show for what I've prepared)." She said, "Two weeks until the broadcast," and "I was gone for a year and a half but didn't leave and waited—thank you to the 4.04 million," raising fans' expectations. "Cha-jwi-ppul" is a web variety show in which Lee Young-ji drinks with guests and has frank conversations, and it was loved for its witty back-and-forth.
Amid the attention on the comeback news, an unexpected confession came at a concert. Lee Young-ji appeared as a guest at the SEVENTEEN unit Dokyum & Seungkwan's concert "DXS [Solo Melody] on stage," held on the 19th at Inspire Arena.
In particular, she heated up the venue by performing BSS's "Fighting Haeyaji" with the members, and Lee Young-ji, who took the stage wearing sunglasses, drew attention from her entrance. She opened by saying, "I didn't come to my seniors' concert rudely wearing sunglasses," which sent the audience into laughter. She then coolly revealed, "A few days ago I had under-eye fat repositioning surgery. Since this is a concert by seniors I look up to, I'm saying it in case there's any misunderstanding."
The unexpected confession turned the venue into laughter, and Seungkwan, who was with her, shot back, "Why would you talk about that!" causing uproarious laughter.
Later Lee Young-ji also said through her fan platform, "Actually I had under-eye fat done. I was going to keep quiet because I was worried it might look like I was trying to encourage it," and candidly added, "It's the first and last time in my life. I thought about it for four years before doing it." She also explained that it was a decision made after long 고민 because people always asked if she looked tired even when she wasn't.
Fans responded with enthusiastic reactions such as, "She could have hidden it but I like how honest she is," "She's delightful like Lee Young-ji," and "I'm looking forward to the Cha-jwi-ppul comeback, and her variety sense is as sharp as ever." Lee Young-ji, who has long been loved for her confident and candid charm, has once again captured public attention following the comeback news and her unreserved confession.
