Lee Ji-hyun, formerly of the iconic K-pop group Jewelry, has shared an update on her new career as a professional hairstylist, sparking considerable interest among fans and netizens alike.

On October 20th, she posted on her social media, announcing that she is now accepting appointments for October. She detailed the booking process, asking interested individuals to send a direct message (DM) with their name, contact information, age, preferred date and time, and desired service.

Adding to the buzz, Lee Ji-hyun revealed that she is only charging for the cost of the materials. Payments are to be made at the academy where she is currently practicing her skills. This revelation has led to her services being remarkably affordable.

According to a price list shared, a long perm for women is priced at a mere 40,000 KRW (approximately $30 USD), an incredibly low figure that has drawn significant attention. This pricing is understood to be because she is practicing at an academy and only covers the expenses for the hair products used.

Netizens have responded with encouragement, with comments such as, 'Even charging just for supplies while practicing at an academy is amazing,' 'She's really living life diligently,' and 'I'm curious about the reviews.' Her bold career change has been met with widespread support.

Previously, Lee Ji-hyun embarked on her journey to obtain a national hairstylist certification in November 2023. She recently shared the joyous news of her passing the exam after a dedicated 1 year and 3 months of effort, marking a significant milestone in her new professional path.

Born in 1983, Lee Ji-hyun debuted with the group Jewelry in 2001, quickly becoming a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. Following her time with Jewelry, she explored acting and various other ventures. She also dedicated time to raising her two children as a mother. Now, with her newly acquired hairstylist certification, she is building a new career and inspiring fans with her positive energy.
