“Born Pretty” : The First-Generation Queen Of K-Pop Becomes A Hot Topic For Her Ageless Beauty

Netizens can’t keep calm as old pictures of Lee Hyori, one of the “OG” pop queens of South Korea, have found their way to the internet.

The singer is no stranger to being praised for her beauty, but most of it is for her popstar appearances. During her most active days as a singer, she ruled hearts with her sexy and sensual visuals. She was also dubbed the “Nation’s Fairy” for her sultry beauty, mesmerizing stage presence, and impressive vocal skills.

Even 25 years after her debut, the singer has sustained the same appealing beauty. Though some might argue that makeup and expensive treatments have aided Lee Hyori’s ageless beauty, the recent photos from her past say otherwise.

The pictures in concern were shared by the singer herself through Instagram. On August 5, she posted multiple photos from her younger days, and in the caption, she mentioned that she found the “relics” while raiding her mother’s collection.

The pictures go back to her school days, as a younger Lee Hyori is seen smiling at the camera in her uniform. Even at that young age, her face already stood out with its beautiful features.

Another photograph shows her adorable charms as a young girl as she poses in a colorful sweatshirt and a beanie, giving the camera a mischievous smile.

She also brought out a blast from the past, an old modeling photo from when she was advertising the Anycall mobile phone by Samsung. Her outfit and makeup from the early 2000 era evoke some serious nostalgia.

She also posted some photos of her young “it girl” era, which show why Lee Hyori was at the peak of popularity during that time.

However, being the unfiltered woman she is, Lee Hyori also didn’t shy away from sharing a photo from her adolescent years. The close-up snap caught her in a candid moment as she smiled, showing her adorable bunny teeth.

Netizens couldn’t get enough of the photos, and many commented that her beauty has always been one-of-its-kind.

• “Your smile is still the same.”
• “The Hyori unnie from old memories!! You’re still the same then and now!! Our never-changing Hyori unnie!!”
• “How are always so pretty?? ”
• “You’re so pretty ^^ .”
• “She’s a real beauty, born pretty.”

Meanwhile, Lee Hyori’s popularity is riding a new wave with the tvN variety show Dancing Queens On The Road, where she appears along with other K-Pop divas such as Kim Wan Sun, Uhm Jung Hwa, BoA, and MAMAMOO‘s Hwasa.
