헤이즈 vs. 이효리 그리고 효리네 민박! 캭~~!

여러분, 요즘 헤이즈(Heize) 노래가 핫하죠? ^^ 헤이즈 노래도 너무 좋지만, 전 ‘응답하라 1994년’의 배경처럼 그 시대의 우상, 핑클과 젝키한테 좀 더 정이 가네요~  ㅋ 그중에서도 전 이효리(Hyori Lee)를 너무나 좋아했죠! 요즘 이효리의 자연스러운 삶이 더욱 더 빛이 나는것 같아요! 남편 김상순과 알콩달콩 살아가는 효리네 민박에서의 모습이 너무나 귀엽고 사랑스럽네요! 이효리는 그녀의 10대-20대 때 최고의 주가를 올렸던 스타였죠. 그녀의 30대는 진심으로 삶을 피부로 느끼고 살아가는 듯 보이네요~ 이효리씨, 멀리서나마 응원합니다. 제가 좋아하는 헤이즈 노래와 이효리가 이번에 오랜만에 컴백해서 들고나온 노래를 띄웁니다. 그리고 효리네 민박 하이라이트 중 제게 인상적이였던 영상도 추가로 올립니다. ^^
