Comedian Lee Soo-ji recently revealed her feelings about the attention surrounding the 'Daechi Mom.'
On the 7th, the YouTube channel 'Jung Joon-ha Haha' uploaded a video titled "Let's communicate, Byeonggwan-ids. The story of the benevolent Suji."
In the published video, Lee Soo-ji grants her insights into the birth of several beloved alter egos.
Lee Soo-ji explained, "As I gradually followed things I enjoy watching and like, I thought, 'It would be fun to do this tone.' The characters I portray are all people around me, whom I watch with affection."
Additionally, regarding Jung Joon-ha's mention of, "I felt a lot of empathy watching Jamie Mom. How do you act so well while eating gimbap?" Lee Soo-ji clarified, "There was a backstory with the gimbap. While buying props, I was hungry and asked my aunt, 'Please roll it a little thicker.' It seems they saw that as a concept. I was really hungry."
In particular, regarding the 'Jamie Mom' character that has also appeared in the news, Lee Soo-ji revealed, "So, in fact, I was invited to a newsroom. It was very burdensome. I am very grateful, but it becomes overwhelming if it reaches the news. While attention is also a joy, it can also become a burden and weigh me down."
Lee Soo-ji transformed into 'Jamie', the mother from Gangnam's 학원가 (Hagwon district), in a video titled 'Human Fake Documentary: I Like Being a Child - A Peculiar Day of Jamie Mom Lee So-dam', which she recently revealed on her YouTube channel 'Hot Issue Ji'. She appeared dressed in luxury padding and bags, commonly referred to as the Gangnam Mom uniform, while taking her child to a hagwon.
Afterward, there was a heated reaction that this is a common sight of mothers seen in Gangnam, but actor Han Ga-in, who had previously released a video of her child riding to a hagwon, also became a target of criticism.
As suspicions grew that Lee Soo-ji was parodying Han Ga-in, negative comments appeared on Han's YouTube video, leading to the video being switched to private and resulting in aftershocks.
In this regard, after maintaining silence, Lee Soo-ji uploaded part 2 of 'Jamie Mom'. On the 5th, she appeared on the radio and noted, "When I was portraying the Daechi Mom character, I wanted it to be a nostalgic upload day. However, the reaction was so immense, and I feel burdened that it is not flowing as I intended, which is unfortunate. Each character reflects the people around me or my own self."
