Comedian Lee Su-ji explained the differences between her appearance on TV and her real self.

On the morning of the 26th, Lee Su-ji met with Donga.com for an interview at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Lee Soo-ji explained the background of meeting reporters for the first time in a long time and conducting an interview, saying, “I am grateful to have won the Baeksang Award, and my company recommended that I do this kind of event with reporters.”

When asked if she expected to win the Baeksang Arts Awards again, Lee Soo-ji replied, “I was nominated for three years in a row.The first year, I was surprised seeing the celebrities, and the second year, I met Kim Go-eun for the first time in my life.This was my third nomination, and I also hoped to win the award this time.There were other seniors, and my company colleague Ji Ye-eun, so I was half-and-half in anticipation.But I ended up winning.Kim Won-hoon said he had a dream during break time, and I was surprised when my real name was called.I was thinking about Ji Ye-eun’s reaction when her name was called, so I’m glad.”



He added, “It was a burden.So the company threw a party that day.It felt like a different world because of the party, but the next day, while filming ‘SNL Korea,’ it felt like returning to everyday life.”

Lee Soo-ji revealed that her MBTI is ‘INFP’ and explained, “In everyday life, I can’t even ask for more kimchi at a restaurant.My mom would say, ‘What happened to the comedian?’ If I think about it, it seems like I show in comedy the things I can’t do in everyday life by mustering up the courage.These are things that Lee Soo-ji in everyday life is not good at.”

He emphasized, “You could think of it as a celebrity disease.When I take pictures or something, I sometimes hear people say, ‘You’re usually quiet.’”

Lee Soo-ji, who has been creating various characters and gaining attention, said, “Since I was young, whenever I went to a place with a lot of people, I would think,’ I’d like to play that character, ‘or I would listen to other people’s conversations.It first came to me when I was a student and imitated my teacher and thought, ‘I have this talent.’ I think that helped me embody the character.”



In particular, when asked which character she is most attached to, Lee Soo-ji drew attention by saying, “That’s Lin Jiaoming, who I created about 12 years ago.I took the civil service exam with that character.The exam asked me to do a solo performance, so I imitated the aunt who runs the kimbap restaurant in front of KBS.The PDs found it funny because they could relate to me.So they suggested that we make a segment with that character.That character is the one that made me known as the comedian Lee Soo-ji, so I’m most attached to that character.”

Meanwhile, Lee Soo-ji debuted as a 10th SBS open recruitment comedian in 2008, and debuted again as a 27th KBS open recruitment comedian in 2012.She also won the Female Variety Show Award at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards.

Recently, he appeared in Coupang Play’s ‘SNL Korea’, ‘Office Workers’, ENA drama ‘New Soldiers 3’, etc., and is active in various characters on the YouTube channel ‘Hot Issue’.
