However, Lee Hyori stepped in to correct what she said was a misunderstanding. She clarified, “The rice cakes, tangerines and socks in the video were all donated by Ananda Yoga members. They did not come from me.” In fact, even in the video itself, Lee can be heard explaining that the items were brought by another instructor.

It appears that Lee Hyori chose to speak out to avoid false impressions that the yoga studio was officially providing or promoting freebies. Instead, they were gifts shared between teachers and students, reflecting a community and friendly environment rather than an organized promotion.

Following the viral video and Lee Hyori’s clarification, public interest in her yoga studio, which has already attracted attention since its opening, is expected to increase further.

Lee Hyori married singer Lee Sang Soon in 2013 and lived on Jeju Island for many years. In 2024, she returned to Seoul and opened a yoga studio in the Seodaemun district, where she personally teaches classes, continuing to garner admiration for her down-to-earth lifestyle and sincerity.
