South Korean comedian Lee Chang-ho shared a humorous anecdote about his sister, Lee Seul-bi, during an appearance on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star.'
I heard I looked so much like him since I was young. I was so stressed that I even had double eyelid surgery twice.
Lee Seul-bi made a surprise appearance, prompting Lee Chang-ho to reveal that she had undergone double eyelid surgery twice in an attempt to look less like him due to frequent comparisons. Ironically, he noted, the surgery made them look even more alike, much to the amusement of the show's hosts.
Even though I had the surgery because I didn't want to look like him, I ended up looking even more alike.
Lee Seul-bi, who previously worked in a regular office job, now frequently appears in Lee Chang-ho's content. When asked about their sibling bond, Lee Chang-ho mentioned he practically raised his sister, who is seven years his junior, and even encouraged her to try out for comedy.
I'm not aiming to be a comedian, but an influencer.
However, Lee Seul-bi clarified her aspirations, stating she aims to be an influencer rather than a comedian. She expressed a desire for independence, wanting to establish herself as "Lee Seul-bi" rather than just "Lee Chang-ho's sister." This ambition led to a playful suggestion from comedian Yoo Se-yoon about her becoming a "copluencer" (comedian + influencer).
I actually have ambitions. I want to become independent as Lee Seul-bi, not as Lee Chang-ho's sister.
