Either that last image was photoshopped or Ms. Lee inherited her fleshy bum from distant non-Korean ancestor.
Actually… as an expert on buttocks and pictures of them, I have an opinion on this fourth picture. Notice the position of her right leg, her right cheek is positioned in such a manner as to make the entire region look fleshier. That is all.
#2 -Pic 4, Keen eye indeed. I detect the “lift and separate” design feature built into those jeans(genes).
Honey lee? Did she name herself after a stripper?
Nah…. it’s just transcribed in English that way. It’s really Ha-Nui Lee.
Forgot, but here is Ha Nui’s name in Korean: 이하늬.
Keen eye indeed. Guys, I grew up on a visual junk food diet of Seventeen, Cosmo, Glamour, and the like, so I’m well aware of position tricks used to reshape the body before the invention of digital photography. That fourth pic was photoshopped. Look at the outside seam. It’s almost to the front of the pants because her backside was blown up.
I agree with Sonagi. That ain’t no real ghetto booty.
Speaking of product endorsements and models, who is the new (I think) model for 진로 appearing in the 참이슬 소주 poster?
Is she, in fact, Honey Lee?
Sorry, forgot a link:

First one, top left
all the images were worked over in Photoshop, that’s the business. the problem with the 4th image is that: 1) there wasn’t enough ‘ass’ to work with, and 2) someone got cheap about the spread1 and didn’t wanna pay a better artist to fix Honey Lee a more believable ass.
1 it is Korea, you don’t have to try that hard to sell Tommy Hilfiger gear.
it’s funny, that Jinro pic is even more worked over than Hilfiger shoot
1) There’s nothing remarkable or unusual about the booty in jeans in pic 4, for Koreans or else.
2) Try the simple explanation: It’s always possible that that’s just Lee’s booty. I’ve seen enough amateur photos of her in bikinis and else from the Miss Universe pageant to believe that. She has rather “diesel” legs.

Sonagi, I’m not so sure about that. I think the body position could account for the outside seam appearing so far forward. While the pics were almost certainly Photoshopped (what pic isn’t these days?), a little research strongly suggests that the bum is legit.
Whether she got it from the good Lord or from Apgujeong I’ll leave to others to determine.
sonagi is obsessed with fake boobs, buns, face, etc.
Unlike homeruns, I don’t even think about
“is it fake?”
when I look at them.
The tensile properties of Tommy Hilfiger’s premium jeans are impressively strong.
i’m gonna have to side with the natural booty faction on this. i’m guessing the camera is low and close and she’s turned and twisted so the upper body is further away.
there’s definite booty potential as can be seen here and here .
What fleshy bum? Them’s the flatlands. Show me some real booty.

HEY may friend needs someone to tranlsate English Korean in the China city of Shanghai. Speaking Mandarin is a plus but not necessary. Some business experience is a plus but not necessary esp. electronics.
Please contact me if you know someone who fits the bill. Needed about September 19th to the 25th. Good Pay. jacobsqw@yahoo.com
@15:
I’m not obsessed with fakery. I’m annoyed by it. Women have always spent more time and money on their appearance than men, and cosmetic surgery just ups the ante, influencing women to spend even more money and risk medical complications.
Photoshopping sets impossible standards of beauty. Mature adult women are comfortable in their own skins and shrug off unnatural images of women’s bodies, but girls and young women are negatively influenced by media images of plasticized or photoshopped faces and bodies.
At our staff meeting today, an outstanding colleague was commended for being chosen to participate in the filming of a national teacher training video. As she stood up to acknowledge the applause, her first words were, “I was going to lose weight this summer for the video, but as you can see, I was unsucessful.” This is a happily married woman who, unlike Honey Lee, has a real bubble butt. She is plump yet shapely and nowhere close to being obese. I was sorry to hear this thirty-something securely married woman express dissatisfaction with her body at the very moment she was recognized professionally by her colleagues. I was sorry, yet I understood.
“Women have always spent more time and money on their appearance than men”
Sonagi, all in all, when it comes to money spent on acquiring the “things” to attract the opposite sex, men, overall, spend more.

:Sonagi, all in all, when it comes to money spent on acquiring the “things” to attract the opposite sex, men, overall, spend more.”
That’s not quite what the articles said. The first one said that men may spend more and that as a trend, men were spending more on appearance than they (men) had spent previously. The second article said that men spent a lot of money, too, on frivolous things like sports cars in the pursuit of prestige. Certainly men, too make impractical consumer choices based on advertising or peer pressure.
I only hope that Sonagi is equally critical of all the crotch-enhancing digital deception applied to Rain.
