Lee Hyori’s Controversial ‘You Quiz’ Outfit Revealed to Be Luxury Designer Fashion
A trending post on Korean online community theqoo, titled “Lee Hyori’s Unique You Quiz Styling Is Dividing Opinions,” has captured massive attention, approaching 110,000 views and nearly 800 comments. The post features numerous images of Lee Hyori’s recent appearance on the hit variety show You Quiz on the Block, showcasing an outfit that has sparked intense online debate.
The original poster (OP) praised the overall vibe and age-appropriate styling, saying:
“I thought it matched the mood and her age really well. It was styled with such a strong ‘aura.’”
Despite the OP’s positive take, they expressed surprise at the volume of discussion surrounding her stylist’s choices:
“I was impressed by how well everything came together, but all the comments are just about the styling. Since it’s her first big interview after the ‘10 Minutes’ chart resurgence and on such a major show, it seems people expected something more traditionally glamorous — like other celebrities.”

The post points out that Lee Hyori’s current stylist differs notably from her past stylist, Jung Bo-yoon. Instead of sticking to conventionally flattering silhouettes, the current styling often includes bold accessories, unconventional cuts, and avant-garde concepts. The OP noted a consistent and high-quality aesthetic, especially praising the creative use of color and fabric textures.
“When you look at each outfit individually, people might be unsure. But if you view them as a whole — there’s a clear consistency and sense of completion. Personally, I love unique styles, and this stylist always puts her in such diverse and visually compelling looks.”
While her unique and bold fashion choices impressed some, others felt it missed the mark. A thread on theqoo showcases just how divided the opinions are, with a flurry of hot takes ranging from glowing praise to blunt disapproval.
Comments on theqoo:
- “It just looked hot — I wish it were sleeveless or maybe just a shorter skirt? Only Hyori could pull that off.”
- “Hyori is beautiful just by existing…”
- “The outfit is stunningly pretty though.”
- “Why is this even divisive? It’s so pretty.”
- “Her forehead and head shape are seriously… so round and cute.”
- “That outfit is just so bad. What even is that?!”
Then came the unexpected twist—online communities revealed that Lee Hyori’s entire outfit consisted of high-end luxury pieces. The dress she wore is a 6.56 million KRW ($4,700 USD) piece from the luxury brand Saint Laurent, and the oversized necklace she paired it with is also from the same brand, priced at 4.41 million KRW ($3,150 USD). Combined, the two items total around 11 million KRW (~$7,850 USD).
Once this information surfaced, netizens reacted with surprise, saying, “It was designer? Only Hyori could make that work,” “10 million won’s worth of fashion magic,” and “Now that I know, her styling actually makes sense.”
While many admire her confidence and presence, others find her stylings a bit too daring. Regardless of the mixed reviews, one thing is clear: her aura and legacy keep her at the center of public conversation — outfit after outfit.
