Former Jewelry member Lee Ji-hyun is radiating youthful energy as she embarks on a new career as a cosmetologist.

Recently, Lee Ji-hyun shared a post on her social media stating, "Being around people in their 20s makes me look a bit younger too, right? Let's not graduate. It's so enjoyable and fun, what will I do when we graduate and I miss you all?" along with a video.

The video captures Lee Ji-hyun diligently folding towels at a cosmetology academy alongside her peers. Despite the demanding nature of organizing numerous towels, a common task in a salon, Lee Ji-hyun maintained her characteristic bright smile and positive attitude, clearly enjoying the process.

With most of her classmates appearing to be in their 20s, Lee Ji-hyun demonstrated energy and passion comparable to her younger counterparts. She actively encouraged her fellow students to apply for modeling work, offering unwavering support. Furthermore, she showed her camaraderie by suggesting they continue together even after graduation.

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hyun experienced two divorces after concluding her activities with Jewelry and is currently raising one son and one daughter as a single mother.

Lee Ji-hyun debuted with the group Jewelry in 2001, achieving significant popularity. After the group disbanded, she actively pursued acting and appeared on various variety shows. Currently, she is obtaining a cosmetology license and challenging herself in a new field, spreading positive energy to her fans.
