Korean Singer Confesses To Feeling Of Depression Amid Backlash Over Philtrum Reduction Surgery

Singer Lee Ji Hye expressed feelings of depression.

On the 20th, Lee Ji Hye shared an update while exercising, saying, “Even if the world is annoying, death still comes. I want to lie down all the time, is this depression or menopause?”

Lee Ji Hye recently revealed that she underwent a philtrum reduction surgery. She said the length of her philtrum was a complex for her, explaining, “It was 4cm, but it got longer as I aged,” and coolly shared her post-surgery appearance. When fans worried about her unnatural look right after the surgery, Lee Ji Hye responded bittersweetly, “It will look more natural over time, so please don’t say too much.”

Later, in a YouTube video, she lightly responded to jokes about the surgery from Jo Hye Ryun. Meeting Lee Ji Hye, Jo Hye Ryun asked, “Did your philtrum rise a lot? Doesn’t the wind get in?” to which Lee Ji Hye replied, “A little bit leaks. It’s refreshing.”

Choi Yeo Jin commented, “But you look prettier now,” and Jo Hye Ryun also asked, “Did you get it done like Angelina Jolie?” Lee Ji Hye joked back, “I kind of copied her.“
