Lee Hyori renounces leather to make a stronger statement for animal activism

Known for her passionate animal activism, Lee Hyori decided to make a stronger statement by throwing away a favorite leather piece from her wardrobe. Earlier today, the singer tweeted, "I'm finally getting rid of this leather jacket that I've kept hidden deep down in my conscience and wore from time to time." The picture she attached with the confession sees her wearing a large studded leather jacket. Hyori recently stirred up some controversy after she spoke out against wearing fur, but was later photographed wearing leather. Netizens commented, "Very proud of you, unni!", "So are you going to stop wearing goose or duck down coats too then?" and "You're definitely making a statement, but it seems to be getting you into more trouble."
