Comedienne Lee Se-young, who recently unveiled a markedly changed appearance, confessed to confusion about her professional identity.

On the 8th, Lee Se-young posted photos on her SNS (social networking service) with the caption “From comedienne to trot singer, and now active as a boxer.”

In the released photos, Lee Se-young is in the ring wearing boxing-related gear such as headgear and gloves, preparing for a match. Instead of the mischievous persona she showed on comedy stages or broadcasts, she drew attention by getting ready in a serious manner.

Alongside the photos, she wrote, “Am I a comedian, a singer, or a boxer? Or am I an entrepreneur running four channels?” She previously drew attention by revealing through various broadcasts and media that she had spent a cumulative total of about $75,000 (100,000,000 KRW) solely on plastic surgery costs.

At the time, she also confessed that, starting with double-eyelid surgery, then nose and breast procedures, she had “done everything she could.”

Lee Se-young debuted in 2011 as part of MBN's first open-recruitment class of comedians, went on to appear on tvN's ‘Comedy Big League’, and also served as a crew member on ‘SNL Korea’. Recently, she has released a trot album as well, expanding into the realm of singing.
