Lee Hyori responds to criticisms of hypocrisy after being seen in a leather jacket

Yesterday, Lee Hyori had received a great deal of attention for making a stand against fur coats through her Twitter. Hyori had written, "Everyone, I'm not sure if it's because the weather's getting colder, but the malls are full of fur coats. I wore them as well at one point thinking they looked cool. I figured out that being hugged by love is warmer than wearing an animal, and that it looks cooler as well." The tweet became controversial when netizens pointed out that Hyori was photographed wearing a leather jacket to a public event. On October 7th, Lee Hyori addressed their accusations of hypocrisy with the tweet, "Everyone, I am not perfect. I am an ordinary human being who has to fight with her own will to put something she believes into action. I am a person who tries to achieve her goal one step at a time. Please, instead of just criticizing me, send me advice, knowledge, and help." She added, "I still haven't thrown out the leather jackets I used to love, and my mouth waters when I smell pork belly being roasted at meetings with friends. This is a night where I feel ashamed of myself." Netizens responded her tweet with comments like, "She only meant well, why is everyone making such a big deal out of it", "Have strength Lee Hyori", "There is a difference between expensive fur coats and leather jackets", and "It must already be hard for a celebrity to avoid leather jackets and fur coats".
