Lee Hyori Connects with YouTuber Battling Rare Disease, Shares Heartwarming Moments

Singer Lee Hyori has formed a meaningful connection with a YouTuber suffering from a rare disease, going beyond hospital visits to enjoy a festival together. The YouTuber, known as ‘daily여니’, who has epidermolysis bullosa, shared a video on June 15 on her YouTube channel, showcasing their time at the 'Seoul Jazz Festival 2025'. In the footage, she is seen dancing along with Lee Hyori to the music.

With 46,000 subscribers, ‘daily여니’ suffers from a genetic condition that causes painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes from minor injuries. She previously gained attention when she revealed that she sat next to Lee Hyori on a flight in 2023, where the singer listened to her struggles and offered support.

The YouTuber recounted, "A few months after meeting Lee Hyori on the plane, I received an email from her agency asking how I was doing. I replied that I was well and mentioned I was hospitalized but would be discharged soon."

She continued, "Lee Hyori expressed a desire to visit me in the hospital, and she did come. Despite her busy schedule, she spent an hour chatting with me, brightening my hospital stay. We kept in touch occasionally to check on each other."

She added, "After reaching out to her, we ended up going to the 'Seoul Jazz Festival' together. It had been a long time since I attended a concert, and I had never been to a festival before. It was a new and enjoyable experience. I’m grateful to Lee Hyori for creating such unforgettable memories."

Netizens reacted positively, praising Lee Hyori with comments like, "She’s truly genuine" and "She doesn’t forget connections that could easily be overlooked."
