Comedian Lee Su-ji honestly revealed the parts of her YouTube content that caused misunderstandings.

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 mentioned her meeting with actress Kim Go-eun, with whom she had done voice impressions on various programs, and said, “As soon as I met(Kim Go-eun), she apologized.I knelt down in the bathroom, and she knelt down with me.I told her I would do a little more, and she said it was okay.We exchanged numbers at that time, but I haven’t been able to contact her.”

In particular, regarding the response that Jamie Mom, which was revealed through ‘Hot Issue’, reminded people of actress Han Ga-in, Lee Soo-ji honestly said, “As a creator, when there are misunderstandings when creating content or characters, I feel regretful but also sorry.Now that some time has passed since my debut, I try to avoid misunderstandings when creating new content.” She continued, “I did think that Jamie Mom had some similarities.But I never aimed at a specific person or anything like that.I thought that I needed to continue to think about and pay attention to the parts that led to the misunderstandings.”



He also added, “What I pursue and think about is comedy that shows characters and situations that can be empathized with.I plan to continue to do so while thinking and paying attention so that such misunderstandings do not arise, so I hope you will look at it favorably.”

Regarding the part where actress Lee Chung-ah was mentioned in the actress’s vlog, he cautiously stated, “It wasn’t a parody of a specific person, it was just something I filmed with a friend when I went to Italy.Of course, I thought there might be some misunderstandings, so I think I decided to take the video down.”

He also mentioned, “That’s why I consider that part the most when I’m creating a character.That part needs to be excluded in order for the character to develop.If there’s too much refinement, it limits the humor, so I think the key is to control that well.”



When the topic of the reactions to the luxury goods worn by Jamie Mom of ‘Hot Issue’ being uploaded on a second-hand trading site came up, Lee Soo Ji said, “People say that they can’t wear luxury goods anymore, but I think those who want to wear them will.She has a different visual than me.I even received a DM once.She said, ‘I’m a father of a child too, thank you so much.Last week, I asked her to buy me a necklace and she heard me say that.’But actually, I asked my husband to buy it for me too.”

He then said, “I met someone at the MongOOO headquarters.We knelt down together.The headquarters said that the response was very good.We exchanged contact information.It passed on a good note,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, Lee Soo-ji debuted as a 10th SBS open recruitment comedian in 2008, and then 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’.
