A K-Pop idol revealed her unchanging friendship with volleyball player Kim Yeon Koung, sharing a heartwarming update. In particular, her natural ‘on and off visuals,” different from her charismatic stage presence, caught attention.
On August 6th, Hyolyn, originally from the group SISTAR, posted on her social media account, saying, “Hyolyn’s activities are over. With my stylish love Yeon Koung unnie who treats me to delicious food,” along with a video with Kim Yeon Koung.
The video showed Hyolyn and Kim Yeon Koung sitting side by side in a car. The two attracted attention with their unique chemistry as they looked at the camera and did the check challenge.
What stood out especially was Hyolyn’s simple appearance. Instead of her flashy stage makeup, she appeared with an almost makeup-free natural face, boasting clear skin without a single blemish and an unpretentious charm.
The contrast between “On Hyolyn,” who dominates the stage with powerful performances and heavy makeup, and “Off Hyolyn,” with a comfortable almost bare face, amazed fans.
Kim Yeon Koung also sat next to Hyolyn in a simple t-shirt and glasses, sharing a natural daily moment. The unpretentious meeting of these two stars representing the entertainment and sports worlds added warmth.
Their connection has lasted for a long time. Hyolyn and Kim Yeon Koung, who have shown genuine friendship chemistry by appearing on each other’s social media and through broadcasts and events, have consistently supported one another despite busy schedules. This day, too, Kim Yeon Koung showed her unique friendship by treating Hyolyn to a meal after activities ended.
Netizens who saw the post responded with comments like, “Her bare face is so pretty,” “The on and off gap is attractive,” “I love the combination of Yeon Koung unnie and Hyolyn,” and “I hope their friendship lasts long.”
