In this account, a self-introduction phrase of "myself" and an enlarged photo of a mouth presumed to be Lee Hyori's were set on the profile. As of 2 p.m. on the 14th, the number of followers for the revision was 17,000. Lee Hyo-ri's husband, guitarist Lee Sang-soon, singers Kim Wan-seon and Uhm Jeong-hwa followed. Fans are also welcoming her resumption on social media, saying, “Lee Hyori is back.” However, Lee Hyori has not followed anyone back and her follower count is 0.

In 2020, Hyori Lee said she habitually looked at her phone for 1-2 hours, and deleted her account because she felt sorry for her dog and cat who were waiting for her during that time. Since then, Lee Sang-soon's current status has often been made known through SNS, but other than that, his personal life has not been made public.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyo-ri opened an SNS for the first time in about three years. Lee Hyori's reason for opening SNS is the tvN entertainment program 'Dance Singer Wandering Troupe', which is scheduled to be broadcast in May. 'Dance Singer Wandering Troupe', which was once again planned in collaboration with producer Kim Tae-ho, is the story of a national tour concert in which Kim Wan-sun, Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Hyori, BoA, and Hwasa travel around the country and meet fans in person and enjoy them together.

As 'Dance Singer Wandering Troupe' focuses on communication and collaboration with a public-friendly concept, Lee Hyori is expected to have opened an SNS to keep up with this, foreshadowing direct communication with fans.

Previously, Hyori Lee appeared on the tvN entertainment program 'Canada Check-in' from December of last year to January of this year, but because the concept was focused on healing and emotion, she was only exposed through broadcasts without any separate communication with the public.
