Lee Hyori's Bare Face In Livestream Gets Edited, Fans Come To Soloist's Defense
On April 2, netizens flocked to a thread that discussed the malicious edits made towards Lee Hyori's face during her newest livestream.
In the forum, the author uploaded several photos of Lee Hyori, which compared the original with the edited. The original photos showed her wearing a casual fit and flaunting her bare visuals.
However, several edited images started circulating online after the broadcast had ended, sparking outrage from Lee Hyori's fans. In the edited version, fans claimed that Lee Hyori's face was edited to make it appear as if she was older.
The author then accompanied the screenshots with the original video from the singer's livestream. OP recounted:

Edited.
'The editing was so evil. Seriously, you Lee Hyori haters are so nasty.'
Original Video
The comments section was filled with angered fans, who called out the haters for drawing hate against the singer. Read their comments below:
- "I wonder what kind of life the kids who edit this are living."
- "They really crossed the line here. This is so evil."
- "The fact that they are editing the video is so creepy. It looks way too natural."
- "No, but they just achieved the opposite effect. After seeing the edited photos, the original ones look so pretty."
The discussion was joined by international fans, who expressed frustration over the harsh remarks and stated that there was nothing wrong with aging.
- "She doesn't look old. A normal face for a 45-year-old woman. Her face just looks super tired. Especially her eyes. She needs to sleep well to get rid of those eye bags."
- "Those are obviously edited but if they were real, there wouldn't be any problem. Women are also allowed to age."
- "Whoever edited this truly did it with malicious intent, that's for sure. It's really evil."
- "Maybe if y'all can also accept women age naturally and beautifully and that there is also a beauty in aging, it wouldn't seem this newsworthy to you in the first place."
- "Even if they had been real pics, that would not have been a moral failing or human failing of her to look like that, lol."
