Model Lee Hyun-yi Recalls Shocking 'My Mom is a Fan' Comment During University Lecture

Model Lee Hyun-yi shared a humorous anecdote from a recent lecture at her alma mater, revealing a student's surprising comment that left her momentarily stunned.

Appearing on the MBN variety show 'Soksoori Show Dongchimi' on the 22nd, Lee Hyun-yi discussed the theme 'Is Getting Older a Sin?' as part of a segment with guests like actress Lee Yeon-soo and Jeong Han-yong.

During the show, Lee Hyun-yi recounted an experience from a lecture she recently gave at her former school. "A student told me, 'My mom is a fan,' and I was shocked for a moment hearing that," she candidly admitted.

Fellow panelist Kim Tae-hoon lightened the mood with a joke, saying, "That's not so bad. Soon they'll be saying, 'You're the same age as my mom.'" Lee Hyun-yi, born in 1983 and currently 42, took it in stride, responding, "Considering the age of current freshmen, it's understandable."

Korean netizens found the story amusing, commenting, "If the student's mom is her fan, it means Lee Hyun-yi is a legend now lol", "It's totally understandable considering how young the current freshmen are~", and "Always enjoy watching Dongchimi!".
