Honey Lee Decalares Herself as Vegetarian, but Netizens Have Beef with Her

What is Honey Lee most famous for besides having been selected as the most beautiful female in Korea many years ago? If you can’t come up with any other answer off the cuff, you haven’t heard about the recent controversy surrounding Honey Lee’s alleged BETRAYAL. 

Interestingly, she became the target of harsh criticism by Korea’s netizens after she declared herself as a vegetarian. Hm… I thought being a vegetarian was a prime example of an ascetic life, and for that reason, wasn’t it supposed to be something laud-worthy? Let’s take a look at why.

Okay, so you might appreciate a little background information on this case. Here you go – last month, Honey Lee appeared on Onstyle’s TV show “Hyori Lee’s Golden 12” and wowed the audience with her claim that she has been a vegetarian for the past 9 years.

But Honey Lee wowed the viewers again when she appeared on her own TV show “She’s Olive – Honey Lee’s My Sweet Canada”, enjoying that juicy Canadian beef steak! Korean netizens started a concentrated fire on Honey Lee, the brazen liar who in fact eats meat but falsely promoted oneself as a vegetarian. 

 As the issue became more and more controversial, Honey Lee’s management company, Popeye Entertainment, explained through a statement that Honey Lee actually SPIT OUT that beef she was chewing as soon as the camera was turned off. They also added that they feel hurt by a misunderstanding like this.

So what do you think about this? Do you believe that Honey Lee felt so sad and painful while chewing that juicy, tender Canadian beef steak and actually spit out what was in her mouth? Or, even if she didn’t should we forgive her because she was the number one most beautiful female in Korea?
