The character being discussed in this story is Yoo Hye Di – a fairly well-known female streamer in South Korea. After a long time living in exhaustion with numerous rumors, questions, and accusations from viewers about her true gender, just recently, the streamer took a clear action to affirm herself, but it sparked new debates that Hye Di probably never anticipated.
The thing is, despite attracting many viewers on her channel, Hye Di often faces suspicions as many people believe that the size of her hands and feet, along with her somewhat deep and husky voice, feel quite strange and out of place compared to her beautiful face. Therefore, there have been many opinions doubting that Hye Di is actually a guy who has undergone gender reassignment surgery. Although she has repeatedly spoken out against and denied this information, she continues to endure accusations. Some even suggested ways for her to prove the truth by revealing her ID.
And these debates and spams, as Hye Di admitted, have lasted for a long time on her livestream channel, to the point that out of frustration, the streamer had to publicly reveal her ID live on air.
And indeed, her gender is undeniably female. However, the issue arose elsewhere when Hye Di’s real age turned out to be 29 (born in 1992), which is different from her previous claim of being born in 1994. Naturally, this caused quite a stir among Hye Di’s fans, leading the streamer to apologize shortly after: “I apologize for lying since the beginning of my streaming, sorry to everyone“.
However, not everyone directed criticism at her, as there were also many words of encouragement suggesting that despite being 29, she looks like she’s only 21.
