Lee Hyori Opens Up About Embracing Her True Self on You Quiz on the Block Amid Resurfaced IVF Controversy
Lee Hyori is set to bring her signature honesty and charisma to the small screen once again in the 300th special episode of tvN’s variety show You Quiz on the Block. A preview of the episode aired at the end of the June 25 broadcast, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect from the iconic star’s appearance.
Making a bold entrance, Lee Hyori immediately captured attention with her aura and humor. She confidently asked host Yoo Jae-suk, “Are we not allowed to cross our legs here?” before turning to co-host Jo Se-ho with a playful jab: “It hasn’t been long since you got popular, has it?” — igniting laughter on set.
During the episode, the U-Go-Girl singer also offered a heartfelt reflection on her personal growth and changing mindset. “There was a time when I tried to be really nice,” she shared. “I was tired and worn out, and would just say ‘Okay, I’ll do it’ to everything. But that version of me lost all my charm. So I decided to live by my heart, speak honestly, and show my true self.”
However, her reappearance in You Quiz 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.
Known for her evolution from K-pop diva to a grounded and self-aware entertainer, Lee Hyori continues to resonate with fans by embracing vulnerability and authenticity. Her candid remarks are expected to strike a chord with viewers when the full episode airs on July 2.
