Big Mama's Lee Young-hyun turns heads with new look after 33 kg weight loss

Lee Young-hyun of the group Big Mama has shared a striking update on her appearance following a 33-kilogram weight loss.

On Saturday, HO Entertainment, Lee's agency, posted several photos on its official social media account with the caption: "2026 Boeun Jujube Festival. Autumn festivals are always a joy. See you again."

In the photos, Lee is dressed in an autumn-toned suit and beaming with a bright smile.

Her noticeably slimmer figure drew considerable attention, with fans taking note of how much her appearance has changed since the weight loss.

Lee had previously made headlines after revealing she had shed 33 kilograms. In March, she appeared on actor Song Ji-hyo's YouTube channel and spoke about the transformation herself, saying, "It's like an entire elementary school student walked out of me."

She also opened up about the struggles of dieting at the time. "That damn diet was messing with my singing, and it drove me crazy," Lee said. "It's not like I'm losing weight to become an actor."

She then drew laughs by revealing she had stopped dieting because the physical toll was becoming too much ahead of a performance.

Meanwhile, Lee debuted with Big Mama in 2003. The group won wide affection with hit songs including "Break Away," "Geoboo" and "Yeoja," and Lee further cemented her reputation as a powerhouse vocalist through solo tracks such as "Chenyeom" and "Chenyeom Hu."

Lee married in 2013 and has two daughters.
