Lee Hyori Shuts Down All Her Social Media Accounts

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

It seems like Lee Hyori will be laying low for a while since she shut down all her social media accounts.

On May 30, the singer erased all her posts on her blog and unofficially closed it down. She has also erased her Twitter account as well. Even her cell phone number, which she has kept for a long time, has changed along with her husband’s.

Though Lee Hyori did previously say, “I will only be operating my blog for a year,” fans cannot help but worry about her since she had so actively communicated with her fans through her social media accounts. Even more curious is the fact that she did not inform anyone about closing her SNS accounts.

On May 31, an insider said, “She hasn’t been using her Twitter account in a while so it was pointless to have one.”

Meanwhile, Lee Hyori opened a blog last year on May 27 through Naver under the name “Sogildaek.” It immediately gained popularity, reaching 10 million visitors in only 70 days. It was even marked number one in the blog rankings with 220,000 friends. Though some posts also caused controversial buzz, they were the center of attention nevertheless. Her Twitter account also reached 460,000 followers after being opened in 2009 and showed her strong influence on society.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyori visited New York for three months starting from February. She has not had any public schedules since then.

the way she goes about that lifestyle rubs me the wrong way

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

What lifestyle do you mean? I've always been curious about her.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

Well, she just decided to live in Jejudo, I think she went vegetarian, and she decided to kind of... isolate herself? Put her career on hold, cultivate, yoga, ecology etc... Also she ran a blog for one year about it.
Nothing wrong with that imo, I think it's amazing. But somehow it rubs me the wrong way. I remember when Yoo Jae Suk went to see her for the Infinity Challenge special 90's stars or something, and she looked like she's changed so much (calmer or something? In tunes with her husband), and then after a while they started to get back to their old chemistry and friendship dynamic. And she was like "I wanna go with you to Seoul, I miss it! I want to go to a club!" and her husband was saying like "no, no no..." and he was separating them lol... It was a joke but still I will remember that. I'm always suspicious of ppl who build their new lives with a "I'm going to forget about the past" mindset. I'm sure she's had a lot of bad things happening to her, for example when she left Family Outing and revealed a bit what she felt like during those times in that song with Gary "Swing", and the plagiarism controversy. But, to me, like in everything there are good/bad things in your past, your present, your future, and all of this is part of you/make who you are.

Anyway, I don't know, I'd love to read an interview of hers to know how she's doing nowadays and stuff...

aaaahhhhhhhhhhh...

do u feel like her husband is separating her from her friends?

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Probably not. She always has nice things to say about him. I bet she is the one decided to leave her old lifestyle behind seeing how great the relationship between her husband and his parents.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

Yep.
Like they became clones. Lol they look like each other.. He said "She changed so much", and he was quite satisfied.
I wonder why? Why did she have to change that much?

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

where can i watch this segment that u're talking about?

i have experience with friends who have gone through the same thing and i feel like there r tell-tale signs. not seeing friends is definitely one of them.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

Basically it's in Infinity Challenge's "Special Exhibition" episode 402. It was broadcasted last year, 09/01.

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

same...there's just something that feels really off about it. i can't put my finger on it at all

[asth77.livejournal.com]

oh I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

it because she's basically saying:

here I'll teach you how to live this amazing, but probably impossible for the average Korean to copy, eco island farmer lifestyle...and then spend 3 months in NYC!

she talks the talk and walks the walk, but only up to a certain point.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

i also want to do this

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Wonder if she's pregnant, or maybe just wanting be out of the spotlight .-. It seems like everything she does gets press, I could see how that could be annoying.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

that was my first thought, maybe she's pregnant and wants to concentrate on having a healthy, calm pregnancy.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Pregnancy was my first thought as well for some reason.

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

Mte, it would probably be better for her mindset too?

[layna.livejournal.com]

Mine too. Having been a non-celebrity and pregnant, I can attest to basically not wanting to be bothered for the majority of the pregnancy. I can't imagine being under the microscope during it. It was bad enough that the little old ladies at my work played food police. About 90% of the workforce had decades on me and I am 31.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

If she doesn't have a kid by next year, she's probably never going to. But I can see her secretly giving birth in NY.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

wait her cell # was public knowledge or did i read that wrong

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

i get it now pls ignore me its late lol

[phililen3.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if she's pregnant....

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

lol bye @ this fake flop

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

I'm deep, deeeep, deep~, DEEP. LHR in a nutshell.

At least she's helping dogs, and probably balances her carbon footprint by living on Green~ farm while jetting off to overseas luxury holidays.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

more like I'm a homophobic asshole

[mikachanyo.livejournal.com]

mmmhmmm. She has always been such a phony.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

This makes me sad. I hope she is okay. I adored the photos in her blog even if they were hipsterish and sadly kinfolked. My first reaction was, " is she pregnant?" And I do know they have been traveling a bit..,,Iceland and NYC. I wonder if he still has his IG.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

She prob had a contract with naver

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

definitely. Never forget she was a vegetarian endorsing the beef industry.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Whoa. What happened that made her do that?

[revertigo.livejournal.com]

sounds refreshing to me

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

I understand shutting down the blog, but why all SNS?

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

Maybe she's sick and tired of celebrity life? I wonder if she's retiring. Out of sight, out of mind.
