Lee Gook Joo, renowned comedienne and entertainer, has recently been featured in the October issue of Vogue Korea.
The flamboyant woman presents her charms in this latest fashion spread. She confidently poses with fierce makeup and a striking wine-red bob, along with bold dresses designed for her by fashion designer, Song Yoo Jin.
In the interview, Lee Gook Joo discussed her online shopping mall, which specializes in plus-size clothing. “I would always get stressed out about clothes, ever since I debuted. Since the clothes the coordinators would pick out for me didn’t fit me, people used to tell me to lose weight. But even when I lose a couple of kilos, would this figure go away? I used to spend so much money trying to find clothes online. That’s why I started. Even if I fail, it’d be good source material for my comedy work. Luckily, the profits are pretty good, better than before. We even have employees now.”
Despite hardships and personal struggles with her figure, Lee Gook Joo possesses a self-confidence and strength that not everyone has. She pushes past obstacles in a loud and typical ‘Gook Joo’ fashion. She inspires her viewers and fans to be more than what society expects from them. The comedienne has shown this tenacity with this latest fashion spread, in a magazine notorious in most countries for being ‘anti-heavy.’
I hope to see more from this spectacular woman. I truly find her to be an inspiration.
