Earlier today, Lee Hyori’s photos of her sagging love handles were a hot topic on the Web. It showed the pop diva with some added weight around her waist line, an image we’ve never seen during her decade-long career. Fans expressed their surprise—and disappointment—in seeing the supposed “Sexy Queen” of K-Pop lose her sexy bodyline, as she is quickly approaching her 33^rd birthday.

However, Lee Hyori didn’t seem to be deterred by the photos and rumors of her aging body. She retweeted a message by her fan that said, “Hyori unni….what happened….” and wrote, “It’s only natural to sag when you get old, no need to get too surprised~^^.”

She added, “I’m taking it as a compliment that the reporters found my love handles to be the only flaw from yesterday’s ‘You & I.’ Hehehe A girl with a flu laughing senselessly in bed.”

Netizens who saw the tweets commented, “Of course, Hyori unni always maintains her cool,” “Hope you feel better soon,” and “Best in responding through Twitter.”
