Broadcast personality Harisu openly shared the changes she has experienced since undergoing gender-affirming surgery 30 years ago and her current health status.

On the 18th, a video titled "Original TG Girl Big Sister Harisu Is Here! | Correcting Rumors About Cosmetic Model Yoo Eun-bi" was released on the YouTube channel 'TG Girls'.

That day, Harisu revealed that she spent many years in obscurity before becoming known to the public through cosmetic advertisements.

Harisu said, "I debuted in the entertainment industry in 1991. I was cast for films, dramas, and commercial models, but could not secure contracts because I am transgender." She added, "After being unknown for 10 years, I finally got my chance."

Regarding the cosmetic advertisements that propelled her to stardom, Harisu stated, "I became Korea's first rookie makeup beauty model. In just six months, I earned 60 million won." She also mentioned, "I believe the president of the cosmetics company insisted that it had to be Harisu."

Harisu, who received explosive attention at the time, reflected, "My early 20s were my peak. It was also the peak for the transgender community."

She also spoke candidly about changes in her appearance and management methods over the years. Harisu revealed that she visited a dermatology clinic for the first time in eight years, saying, "As I've aged, bruises appear on my face more easily, and even my skin texture has changed." Regarding Botox and similar treatments, she admitted, "If I get them, they last only about two to three months, and the effects are minimal."

Harisu noted that she does not exercise regularly, explaining, "I had gender-affirming surgery early. It was in 1995, so it has been 30 years."

She explained that due to concerns about long-term hormone therapy, she is no longer receiving hormonal treatment. She also revealed that she was diagnosed with early-stage osteoporosis approximately six years ago.

Harisu said, "My bones are in worse condition than my 80-year-old mother's," expressing surprise upon learning the state of her bone health at the time. She added, "It would be difficult to resume hormone injections now," and shared her current struggles, stating, "I have stepped away from the gender world, so I lack information."
