The parody by comedian Lee Soo-ji has the industry buzzing. Actress Han Ga-in is being referred to as the typical 'Daechi mom,' suffering from the unwarranted criticism of being a 'helicopter mom,' while comedian Kim Ji-hye shows varying reactions, supporting her junior's efforts. Additionally, the fashion brands used in Lee's parody appear to be quite tense.
On 4th, content titled 'Human documentary, I love my kids' was released on the YouTube channel 'Hot Issue-ji.' The title of the video is 'A peculiar day of Ms. Lee So-dam, Jamie mom, under the name of Mom,' where Lee transforms into the enthusiastic 'Jamie mom' devoted to child education.
In the released video, Lee Soo-ji, who transformed into the so-called 'Daechi mom' Lee So-dam, becomes a mother who devotes everything to her child's education, bragging about her kids while having brunch and previewing her child's workbook in the car.
Furthermore, Lee Soo-ji's lifelike parody was truly a hit. She not only captured the character's essence but also garnered attention with her meticulous and comical performance, to the extent that it appeared in the news.
Of course, there were side effects. Earlier, Han Ga-in had revealed her two children's 'riding daily life' from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on her YouTube channel. After Lee Soo-ji's parody video was released, suspicions arose that she targeted Han Ga-in, who also suffered mockery for being a 'Daechi mom.' Eventually, Han Ga-in's team decided to make the video private due to malicious comments regarding her children. Regarding this, Lee noted, 'Please contact the company or manager,' keeping her remarks brief.
Coincidentally, as the fallout affected Han Ga-in, Lee Soo-ji's video became even more 'hot.' On the 25th, amidst the ongoing controversy, Lee's team released the second episode of '[Human documentary, I love my kids]' titled 'A thrilling ride of Ms. Lee So-dam, Jamie mom,' continuing the interest. Although Han Ga-in was being criticized without any particular stance, the posting of additional videos led to ongoing debates. Furthermore, the video garnered significant attention, exceeding 2.2 million views within a day.
It wasn't just Han Ga-in who was upset by Lee Soo-ji's 'Daechi mom' parody. Lee's fashion also became a hot topic. After the release of the video, there was a rush of listings for the luxury brand padding that Lee wore in the first episode on second-hand trading sites. Since the padding is referred to as 'Gangnam mom uniform,' the backlash from Lee Soo-ji's parody was considerable. In response to this phenomenon, numerous comments remarked that she was 'the first celebrity to end the trend.'
In the video subsequently released, Lee continues to attract attention with fashion reflecting reality. In the second episode, Lee carries a luxurious brand bag while wearing a mink fur vest. After the video was published, Kim Ji-hye posted on her personal social media, 'Why do we have this at home?' along with a photo of herself wearing the same mink fur vest, captioned 'last shot.' It was a palpable impact even for Kim Ji-hye. Following the end of the padding trend, the same phenomenon may continue in the second episode, which has become a point of observation.
