Singer Lee Hyo-ri (47), a former member of the group Fin.K.L, has suffered father's death, and anecdotes with her father are being re-examined as a "barber's house daughter" rather than a superstar.
Lee Hyo-ri's father, the late Lee Joong-kwang, passed away on the 12th. On this day, the agency's antenna said, "Lee Hyo-ri suffered father's death."
Lee Hyo-ri is the youngest of four siblings and was named Sangju along with her brothers and sisters and her husband, singer Lee Sang-soon. He is said to be guarding the mortuary in sorrow.
As Lee Hyo-ri has shown her special affection for her father in many entertainment shows, there is a wave of remembrance online. In 2008, he released an autobiographical song called "The Barber's House Daughter," which he wrote, saying, "I lived as a super star, but I was a barber's house daughter when I was young and walked for 10 years without selling a single eye."

Before such a glamorous superstar, Lee Hyo-ri also gained public sympathy by revealing realistic father-daughter relationships as someone's normal daughter.
Lee Hyo-ri said on JTBC's reality entertainment show 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast' in 2017, "When I was young, my dad ran a barber shop, and I hated it so much. Because I always had sports hair until elementary school. When my dad cut my hair, I washed my hair. It was very embarrassing when classmates came and cut their hair. So I hid and came out and swept it. Dad always asked me to step on my leg when I finished my work. It's such a bother for me. When I think about it now, I think I'll step on it very hard."

In 2022 MBC Everyone's "The Brother at Tteokbokki Restaurant", he confessed honestly about his past hurt by his father. At the time, Lee Hyo-ri was asked, "Wasn't he almost the head of the household at home?" and said, "If the will of the head of the household is a person who makes money, it is most right. But I don't think the head of the household is necessarily like that," he said calmly. He said, "My parents came to Seoul with 500 won. He borrowed money from his relatives to run a barber shop and raise us with a hard time," he said.
Lee Hyo-ri said, "When I was young, I was so scared of my father. He hit me a lot. I understand that my father did it because he had a lot of hard times living in Seoul, but he still had strong anger and hatred in his heart," he said.
Soon after, he said, "That doesn't mean I hate my dad. I like my dad, but I have wounds on one side of my heart," he said.
JTBC reality entertainment show 'Mom, do you want to go on a trip alone?' which appeared with her mother in 2024?He also brought up an anecdote with his father when he was young. Lee Hyo-ri's mother said, "(Lee Hyo-ri's father) did not inherit any property. I came to Seoul with only two spoons. He earned money, bought a house, and he didn't starve his children three meals a day, and he was a father with a strong sense of life. He was a scary father to the children," he said.
In response, Lee Hyo-ri said, "I've never ridden a horse before. It's really nice to see something like that. I feel like I'm loved, I envy you," he said. "My parents didn't always come to the sports day, but they came one day. I was so happy that I fell down while looking at my dad and came in last place. I went to the valley during the summer vacation season and my dad bought me a candy. When I was young, I had a small mouth, so I put a grain of candy in my mouth and ate it for hours. I have a few memories of that," he recalled.
