Lee Hyori Supports YouTuber With Rare Disease

The story of how Lee Hyori supports YouTuber A, who is battling a rare genetic disease, has deeply touched the public. It’s a quiet but powerful example of empathy, showing how a K-pop icon has extended her warmth far beyond the stage.

A’s condition, epidermolysis bullosa, makes everyday life difficult. But everything changed when he met Lee Hyori by chance on a 2023 flight to Jeju. During the trip, they sat side by side, and Lee Hyori listened patiently to his personal struggles. That moment sparked the beginning of a meaningful bond.

Months later, A received an unexpected message from Lee Hyori’s team. “They said Hyori was curious about how I was doing,” he shared. At the time, A was hospitalized. In a gesture that reflects how genuinely Lee Hyori supports YouTuber A, she visited him in person, chatting with him for an hour and lifting his spirits.

But the support didn’t end there. She later invited A to attend the Seoul Jazz Festival 2025 with her. On May 30, they enjoyed Lee Sang-soon’s performance together. In the vlog, A captured heartfelt moments—Hyori dancing with him, laughing, and creating unforgettable memories. “It was an exciting and fun memory for me, who leads a quiet daily life,” he said. “I’m deeply grateful to Hyori.”

An official from Antenna confirmed the sincerity of the interaction: “As far as we know, the artist contacted him personally, separately from the company,” they told Dispatch.
