Beloved Korean Actress Reveals She Got Her Ears Done To “Avoid Losing Money”

Actress and model Lee Hyun Yi recently confessed that she got ear fillers done. She appeared on an episode of Physiognomy Theory, a show where celebrities visit a face reader (physiognomist). The other guest, comedienne Kim Ji Min, asked if one’s physiognomy, and thus fortune, can change through procedures.

Lee Hyun Yi believes it to be true. An elderly man once told her in passing that her ears would cause her to lose money.

“One time, I was walking somewhere and an elderly man said to me, ‘You’re going to keep losing money.’ I asked why, and he said it was because my ears were ‘knife ears.’ So that’s why actually, I had ear fillers done.”

Lee Hyun Yi admitted that she got ear fillers to correct her sharp-looking ears in order to prevent losing money.  Although she believes it to have worked, the physiognomist candidly advised her that despite getting procedures done, one’s fundamental traits may not change.

Physiognomy is one of the most popular branches of fortune-telling in South Korea. You can watch the full episode of Lee Hyun Yi’s face reading below.
