Lee Hyori wears the same outfit as her dog

A photo of singer Lee Hyori wearing the same floral-print outfit as her dog ‘Soonshim‘ has recently caught the attention of netizens everywhere.

The singer uploaded two photos via her Twitter page with the caption, “by steve j & yoni p“.


Lee Hyori has recently been called out for wearing a leather jacket, which some found hypocritical for someone who strongly defends animal rights.

On the 6th, she tweeted, “Hi everyone, I guess it’s because the weather is getting cooler lately, but I have been seeing more and more fur coats at the department stores. Sure, I used to wear them too because I thought they were fashionable. But now I realize that loving and embracing these animals is much more fulfilling and meaningful than wearing one of them on my back. How about we refrain from buying expensive fur and leather coats and buy other clothes that will keep us warm? I would like everyone to come with me to take care of these homeless animals, and then we can drink soju all night. How about it?”

Although she was probably half-joking, her genuine heart for animals and their well-being was highly evident. She has been praised by netizens for her volunteer work with animals.
