Lee Hyori Admits To Facing Side Effects From Botox

Singer Lee Hyori recently talked about getting cosmetic procedures done on her face in a YouTube video.

The K-Pop icon appeared in a video with Hwang Kwanghee and candidly confessed that she had talked to him about getting a consultation for plastic surgery. She explained that since she liked natural-looking visuals, she has not done any cosmetic surgeries on her face yet. But she had a change of heart recently, with outpouring brand endorsement offers.

Despite being in the game for over 20 years and taking a long hiatus from the public eye, Lee Hyori is still one of the hottest celebrities in Korea. She is one of the idols with the highest number of brand endorsements to her name. But this great feat came with a sense of burden to the 45-year-old pop star, as she admitted that she felt like not getting her face touched up for these shoots would be “impolite.”

Lee Hyori then recalled getting Botox on her face. She confessed that she got it to reduce the wrinkles around her eyes. But unfortunately, it did come with some side effects. “After getting Botox, my eyes couldn’t smile anymore,” she explained.

The singer also mentioned getting laser lifting a few times while living in Jeju. But it didn’t suit her either. “My skin is too thin, so there was no effect,” she regretted.

The two ended up bonding over discussions about the procedures Kwanghee had done on his face. You can watch the full episode here:
