Lee Hyori confesses, “I am more glamorous than Son Dambi”

leehyori_090515

Is that so?

Well, the seasoned diva is certainly acting like one.

On the SBS “A night of Entertainment” program on May 13th,  Lee Hyori confessed, “I have a more mature type of beauty whereas Son Dambi is more fresh….but I exude more glamour…”

But she also added:

I don’t understand why men get all shy around me…..I need to change my personality into something softer so that guys will like me more…and also kill my temper so that I am more approachable.

The 30 year old pop diva can start by eating some humble pie.

    disappointingg!

  10. 10 kagero May 15, 2009 at 12:56 am

    you guys are such hypocrites…most of you guys are the ones that proclaim her as the sexy woman in Korea, and make it seem like no other female entertainer is up to her greatness~ sheesh, she’s up on this high horse simply because of her hardcore fans :-x who think that she can do no wrong~

  11. 11 aneemaxxx May 15, 2009 at 1:00 am

    read from sunwer than she was actually saying i’ve more charm instead of glamour~~

  12. 12 miki1 May 15, 2009 at 1:03 am

    She’s refreshing in terms of Korean female being outgoing and speaking her mind and is not shying away from doing so. I personally don’t find her as glamorous as she thinks she is.

  13. 13 smilecrybaby May 15, 2009 at 1:12 am

    Hahah. Not. Neither is that sombi or Zombi hahah, anyways, chick.

  14. 14 whoaxthere May 15, 2009 at 1:15 am

    confession? doesn’t it have to be true for it to be a confession?? haha jkjk

    but honestly..i think hyori is kind of old now..
    i’m not bashing but i feel like she’s trying really hard to stay in the industry :\

  15. 15 Jane. May 15, 2009 at 1:19 am

    You say Lee Hyori needs to be humble but Son Dambi is worse. She goes on shows saying “Unni i’m daesae now~” to hyori and suh inyoung who are her sunbaes by A LOT. GO HYORI!

  16. 16 Seri May 15, 2009 at 1:39 am

    Whats wrong with saying you have are more glam than someone else? I also agree Son Dam Bi excudes more of a Fresher/party style aura whilst with Hyori’s activities, her concept is more glam and sexy than Bambi’s. I love both Bambi and Hyori but whenever someone compliments themselves I always see stupid commments like “oh she’s so big-headed/not humble enough” WHAT TO THE EVER.

  17. 17 gary May 15, 2009 at 1:40 am

    It’s hard to tell the context without watching the clip. Since the screen captures don’t suggest she’s joking, then she’s probably simply comparing herself matter of factly. Like describing the niches of hers and Dambi’s.

  18. 18 Seri May 15, 2009 at 1:40 am

    However, in terms of personality. Hyori isnt glam. She’s a sexy dork haha

  19. 19 nu2you May 15, 2009 at 1:42 am

    Lee Hyori is misquoted just to keep netizens up in arms! How dense ! And sure enough we have quite a few stirring controversy.

  20. 20 suejungle May 15, 2009 at 1:45 am

    I agree with Hyori. This is disappointing.

  21. 21 passingby May 15, 2009 at 2:02 am

    Wait a minute, I read something else somewhere else.she also said that it’s time for her to pass on her title of ??? I don’t quite remember but I know it didn’t seem mean…

  22. 22 IBCanada May 15, 2009 at 2:13 am

    I actually understand where she’s coming from. She does exude more glamour and sexiness. THat’s what she made money off of.

    Dambi, and neither I nor Hyori is saying this is a bad thing, is more fresh looking, pretty. Whereas, Hyori is more ‘hot’.

  23. 23 SmlKttn May 15, 2009 at 2:35 am

    People got to remember that bragging is the name of the game. All big stars are expected to hype up themselves and say they are best. Look at all those other stars like Solbi and Seo In Young who also brag on shows. The producers will script up something for the girls to say about themselves compared to another star just to get publicity.

    There you have it:

    Star A says she better than Star B on Show C and the outcome is A, B, and C getting a lot of publicity.

  24. 24 karen May 15, 2009 at 3:09 am

    i do agree with Hyori ~

  25. 25 haha May 15, 2009 at 3:11 am

    haha..she makd me laugh .. she is not glamourous.. she’s slutty … where as son dambi is sexy+glamourous…

  26. 26 peepdius May 15, 2009 at 3:15 am

    dambi has been around like 6 months and hyori been around like 10 years already. she is more glamorous and she’s 30. people should be able to speak their minds and what hyori said is true anyways.

    dambi is a tall drink of water whereas hyori is a milk shake. and you know milkshakes brings all the boys to the yard.

  27. 27 moomoo May 15, 2009 at 3:44 am

    Hyori’s been in the business over 10 years, of course she’s built up the confidence over the years so I don’t know why people are criticising her?

    I like dambi as well as hyori, but they’re both different people so why compare? They both have their own qualities.

  28. 28 stphp May 15, 2009 at 4:04 am

    haha wow.
    i agree that she should be more humble, but she’s still pretty…but so is son dambi…ahh~!!!! cant decide

  29. 29 dbsklover May 15, 2009 at 4:06 am

    can anybody let me know in which show that son dambi say, “Unni, i’m daesae…” to seo in young and hyori? and what does daesae means? thanx in advance…

  30. 30 kibi May 15, 2009 at 4:19 am

    .. she’s olbviously saying it jokingly about the men part. and c’om , hyori’s been in the industry for over 10 years and knows a lot more . dambi is a lot more fresh and new , i actually kinda think son dam bi is going to be the next hyori .

  31. 31 byul1232 May 15, 2009 at 4:32 am

    u know i bet if watched the actual interview, it’s easier to notice that shes joking. she does it all the time, especially when son dambi came out on family outing

  32. 32 ?? May 15, 2009 at 4:32 am

    Lee Hyori isn’t even all that PERFECT.
    Son Dam Bi is BETTER!

  33. 33 awoejroiw May 15, 2009 at 4:38 am

    lol one thing i dont like is that you cant tell if shes joking or not while she said this plus there can be different kinds of translations *some literal and some not

    so yh you cant assume anything without watching the clip itself
    but either way i love the way shes so honest and no one can criticize her for it because shes just being open (something most idols cant do)

  34. 34 umm May 15, 2009 at 5:14 am

    this is old news.

    and yeah. i think it was charming not glamorous. and it’s true. son dambi, while sexy, does not have the same amount of presence as hyori. she’s still a relatively newbie. and i’m including their entire tv personas.. i mean, dambi on WGM is no means as interesting as watching hyori on ANY show.

    and when it comes to eating humble pie, i think popseoul needs a slice every now and again.

    -.-

  35. 35 FlipGirl92 May 15, 2009 at 5:25 am

    Neither of them are glamorous.

  36. 36 dwilliams May 15, 2009 at 5:47 am

    LOl at flipgirl. Yeah and Hyori quit with the guys needing to approach bull$%%, all the fellas know you are a ho in the industry so if they do approach, it won’t be for love. Also I thought she was dating the son of a rich executive.

  37. 37 vivian0304 May 15, 2009 at 5:48 am

    that’s true, Hyori seem hotter, Dam Bi is hot too but her face so fresh and innocent, lol can’t say who better, each has their own charm

  38. 38 J4red May 15, 2009 at 5:50 am

    She’s pretty overrated anyway

  39. 39 Sorah May 15, 2009 at 6:08 am

    I agree with her…
    Hyori commands more attention and presence and charm than Son Dam Bi.

  40. 40 sticker May 15, 2009 at 6:58 am

    that’s no a confession. That’s Hyori trashing Son Dambi. Meow. It’s Son Dambi’s turn now.

  41. 41 sexybabymama May 15, 2009 at 7:09 am

    it’s better to admit that she’s hot and everyone else also thinks so, what’s the point denying?? I like that she’s frank and cool enough to say what’s on her mind.

    I also think Hyori is hotter than Son Dambi—whose got a boxy upper shape with quarterback shoulders.

  42. 42 anonymous May 15, 2009 at 7:18 am

    she’s simply stating her facts.
    and plus I would too if i had son dambi going around the place telling everyone how fresh and how much better she is.
    son damn bi needs to eat a humble pie. she goes on variety shows and talks about how she’s the next top star.

    she has the right to declare it since she’s so open with the entertainment industry and because she’s been in it for so long

  43. 43 issa May 15, 2009 at 7:36 am

    change personality??for the boys…?DAMN!!!~
    look!if boys really like YOU!they’ll like u for whO you aRE!..and yeah.,HYORi..has been in the biz for 10 years…bUT she dont have to put down people like dat…she shOuld have just give advice for DAMBI..bec. she just started..and heLLO?..hyOri ur old already!!!at first i liked u wd u go girl…etc,.

    “ill THROW THE HUMBLE PIE STRAIGHT INTO HER FACE”that works*

  44. 44 Juice May 15, 2009 at 7:37 am

    It’s sorta true.

  45. 45 new2kpop May 15, 2009 at 7:42 am

    She definitely looks like she had a nose job…when you have to say that you are better than someone else you are basically trying to justify your weakness. On the contrary her comment is very unglamorous/uncharming. I’ve seen better looking Korean females.

  46. 46 Abi May 15, 2009 at 7:47 am

    Lee Hyo ri <33 for ever! :D

  47. 47 Blaznist May 15, 2009 at 7:52 am

    That’s my Hyori baby! Son Dambi just got them wide legs. hehe :D Anyway..meh you Korean women…more important things going on in the world.

  48. 48 valkyrie May 15, 2009 at 8:05 am

    FIRST of all you people don’t know what your talking about. She didn’t say she more glamorous she said she has more of a mature charm than dambi and yes I do agree with that. Ohh she doesn’t have too be humble about it if she asked during the interview and WTFF with the jealously stuff?!? Hyori doesnt have too be jealous of dambi. she isn’t even at the same level as hyori. Can you tell me what song comes to mind when you think about dambi and what comes to mind when hyori mentioned?! And yes dambi does have some talent but really she can’t sing. Her voice is weaker, have you listen too any other song from her that didnt have a tech or trance influenece?!

  49. 49 juliagulia007 May 15, 2009 at 8:26 am

    Lee Hyeori is beautiful and I love her without make-up, but the girl cannot dance to save her life. I suppose wearing the biggest high heels you can find while prancing around on stage doesn’t help…I think she can be way too over the top sometimes and I do not think she is any more glamorous than son dam bi.

    Son dam bi in my opinion is prettier than lee hyeori, but she can’t dance either. I love who son dam bi has become and I think that she is getting better and better as an artist. Perhaps, lee hyeori thinks she is more glamorous and not as fresh as son dam bi because she is not in the limelight right now, so she needs to get attention some how.

  50. 50 MkY May 15, 2009 at 8:38 am

    Love Hyori! ^^ Face it, she’s way down to Earth and WAY more interesting then Dambi. (Srry Dambi!) Dambi seems a little boring at times. But with Hyori that’s a whole different story.
