Recently, her yoga center, 'Ananda Yoga', opened by Lee in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul, has been sharing student testimonials on its official social media account, attracting significant attention.

Participants of the one-day classes have flooded the platform with positive feedback, describing the experience as akin to a fierce concert ticket battle to secure a spot. One male student humorously recounted forgetting to take a group photo due to being starstruck after a brief chat with Lee. Another attendee marveled at Lee's stunning beauty up close, noting the deeply rewarding yoga session that allowed them to connect with their body more profoundly.
