Lee Hyori Makes Stunning Return on “You Quiz” Amid Renewed Attention Over IVF Comments
In a teaser released on June 23 to commemorate the show’s 300th episode, Lee Hyori appeared alongside longtime friend and co-host Yoo Jae-suk, rekindling excitement among fans.
Wearing a slicked-back hairstyle and highlighting a distinct beauty mark, Lee exuded confident charisma as she joined hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho. “This is my first time appearing on a show with slicked-back hair,” she said, to which Jo Se-ho replied playfully, “You look very attractive. Did you also add that beauty mark?”
Lee laughed and revealed, “My makeup artist said it’s You Quiz, so she added one more. Normally, she does two or three.” She added with a grin, “Since I was coming on You Quiz, I even went to the dentist for a scaling yesterday.”
Yoo Jae-suk responded with a hearty laugh, “You’ve really changed a lot from before. What happened?” The moment highlighted the natural chemistry between the two stars, who previously collaborated on hit variety shows like SBS’s Family Outing and the MBC project group SSAK3 on Hangout with Yoo. Their reunion marks their first on-screen appearance together in five years.
Lee Hyori’s return to variety comes at a time when she’s also preparing to host a new makeup survival program, Top Class Makeup Survival – Just Makeup, set to premiere in the latter half of this year.
However, her reappearance in the spotlight has also brought back public discourse over past IVF-related remarks, which previously stirred online controversy. Although the You Quiz teaser focused purely on Lee’s vibrant personality and reunion with Yoo Jae-suk, discussions around her earlier statements have resurfaced in comment threads and social media, reflecting the ongoing scrutiny public figures face.
Still, fans remain eager to see her once again on screen, unapologetically stylish, refreshingly candid, and full of charm. As You Quiz gears up for its 300th episode, Lee Hyori’s presence serves as both a nostalgic nod to variety show history and a reminder of her enduring star power.
