Lee Ji-hoon, Where Did the Princely Figure of 'Why, Heaven' Go? Now Every Inch an Ajeossi

Lee Ji-hoon, the singer and actor long associated with the princely image of 'Why, Heaven,' has shared a recent glimpse of himself that gives off unmistakable ajeossi energy, a Korean term often used for a grown man or uncle-like figure.

Ayane, Lee Ji-hoon's wife, posted a video to her Instagram Story on June 7 with the caption, "As long as oppa was happy, that was enough."

In the clip, Lee Ji-hoon peels lobster meat, shows it to his wife, and then eats it with evident enjoyment. His cheeks appear fuller in the video, and Ayane explained the change by writing, "He got plumper because he is bulking up."

The update comes after Lee Ji-hoon and Ayane apologized over controversy connected to their approach to raising their child on an unsalted diet. On May 27, Lee posted on social media, "As parents, we should have been more careful. I sincerely apologize for disappointing and inconveniencing many people because of the matter involving the daycare center."

The issue began when Ayane expressed concern on social media about her daughter's daycare center. She wrote that she was shocked after circumstances suggested her daughter had eaten a vitamin candy at the daycare, saying that the child was still being raised on an unsalted diet without seasoning. However, criticism followed because the item was a vitamin candy, and because some felt that if there was a concern with the daycare, it should have been raised directly with the facility rather than made public on social media.

Lee Ji-hoon and Ayane married in 2021 after overcoming a 14-year age gap. Ayane is currently pregnant with their second child.
