Lee Hyo-ri posted a video of her birthday party on her YouTube channel on March 3rd, saying, “Actually, my birthday is Jan. 23, 1979 on the lunar calendar. I used May 10 on my profile because it was the birthday on my ID. Now I want to tell you my real birthday.“
After Lee Hyo-ri’s real birthday announcement, shaman YouTubers who have been earning views by tellinh fortune on Lee Hyo-ri’s profile birthday were mocked by many netizens. In fact, if you search for Lee Hyo-ri on YouTube, you can find dozens of fortune telling videos about Lee Hyo-ri. Some YouTubers even made rude fortune-telling and inducing clicks with provocative remarks about Lee wanting to have kids.
On the popular Korean forum theqoo, netizens are leaving comments such as:
“It’s so funny LOL”
“Lee Hyori is the best. LOL”
“But shaman YouTubers didn’t know anything aside from her birthday, how did they predict her fortune, are they reading fortune books…?”
“I’m a person who doesn’t believe in fortune teller, so it’s funny”
“Watching the fortune-telling YouTubers predict things, I felt like I couldn’t trust fortune-telling. LOL”
“At that time, if you were born in January, you had to go to school with people born in 1978, I guess that’s why she made it one year older”
