Meet Lixie: The Girl Behind @Cholixie
If you’ve ever scrolled through TikTok’s K-beauty and lifestyle corner, chances are you’ve stumbled across @cholixie (real name: Lixie). With 76K followers and 9.6M likes on TikTok, plus another 8.6K followers on Instagram, she’s carved out her niche as the pastel-aesthetic, Seoul-meets-Germany content creator repping K-pop commentary, skincare hauls, and “life in Korea” reels.
She’s even signed with Oezkan Entertainment, giving her a professional edge in the influencer world. Her feed? Glossy product reviews, makeup tutorials, and carefully curated K-fashion looks.
But here’s where it gets interesting…
Storytimes, Seoul Clubs, and “Hongdae Boys”
Followers know Lixie for her storytime videos, the kind where she spills about meeting rappers in Seoul’s nightlife scene or navigating the infamous Hongdae party boys. Some of her more eyebrow-raising uploads include:
- “Meeting K-Rapper Friends in Seoul Nightlife” – a seven-month-old TikTok where she admits she only got into a certain “gatekept” club through a friend’s connections.
- “Toxic Hongdae Boys” – her cautionary tale of clubbing in Korea, complete with the dramatic flair fans either love or find over-the-top.
- “Adventures with the Hongdae Boys” – another round of nightclub storytelling that had viewers commenting things like “girl we’ve all been there.”
- “K-Pop Storytime: Uncomfortable Encounter at Event” – her most recent dive into awkward moments in the industry’s orbit, including a time where K-Pop idol gave her the middle finger.
The “Rude Rapper” Storytime
In one of her spicier uploads, Lixie shared a run-in with a Korean artist that left her disappointed.
“When my friends told me my favourite Korean artist was rude and I didn’t take its seriously, but after seeing and talking to him, I realized he was indeed quite rude, and I can’t defend him anymore.
(Can’t name drop but any right hint will receive a like in the comments)”
Naturally, her followers went into full detective mode. With the extra breadcrumbs Lixie dropped—K-hip hop artist, name starting with B or H, and “really tall (maybe the tallest in the industry?)”—the fan consensus landed on one name: BLASÉ (신영덕).
For those out of the loop, Blasé is a South Korean rapper who debuted in 2018 with his EP 0, known for blending UK drill, jungle, and bass into his sound. But beyond the music, word on the street is that he isn’t exactly a fan favorite when it comes to attitude.
Allegedly, he’s curt with fans (especially foreigners) and has been spotted making the rounds at Seoul’s club scene. What might sound like harmless nightlife gossip from Lixie has only fueled whispers online that she’s name-dropping and clout-chasing under the guise of “storytimes.”
Netizens Say: “Cringe, Bestie”
While Lixie’s storytimes rack up thousands of views, not all the feedback has been glowing. Some users have saved her old videos and passed them around, labeling them “cringe.” The critiques?
- That she “name-drops rappers for clout.”
- That her clubbing tales feel exaggerated or unnecessary.
- That her “storytime princess” persona clashes with her otherwise polished K-beauty influencer vibe.
Beauty Guru or Clout Chaser?
On Instagram, Lixie plays it much safer: reels about foundation shades in Korea, K-fashion OOTDs, and Romand brand shoutouts. Her captions read like a beauty consultant’s dream — “All the product info will be added in the next video…” or “Korea’s size chart is still crazy to me…”
This double-life between K-beauty professional and Seoul nightlife storyteller is what fuels the intrigue. Is she simply diversifying her content? Or trying to balance two clashing identities as a polished brand rep and messy storytime narrator?
Final Thoughts
As of now, @cholixie hasn’t faced a full-blown controversy. But in a space where “cringe” spreads faster than contour tutorials, the receipts are already floating around.
SEOUL CLOUT verdict: Lixie is one viral repost away from becoming the next hot topic in expat-in-Korea influencer drama. Until then, she’ll keep posting beauty tips by day and dropping nightlife confessionals by night.
