Recently, comedian Lee Su-ji, who has been active on her YouTube channel, made a previous video private that she uploaded 9 months ago. Speculation arose among Internet users that the video parodied actress Lee Chung-ah's YouTube video, leading to suspicions that the action was motivated by criticisms stating, 'She mocked both Han Ga-in and Lee Chung-ah.'
The video titled 'Actress Anna's Rome Vlog Life. Reading. Group purchase progress,' featuring Lee Su-ji, which was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Necalcomani' in September of last year, has recently been made private.
'Necalcomani' is a YouTube channel featuring four comedians including Lee Su-ji, Lee Sang-eun, Shim Moon-kyu, and Park Bo-mi, where Lee Su-ji performed characters like 'MZ Gyopo Jenny' and the parody 'Manduna' from the Netflix drama 'Iduna.'
In the video, Lee Su-ji portrayed an actress named 'Anna' spending time in Rome, Italy. Throughout, she maintained a calm and elegant voice while communicating with fans, but when she became flustered, she unexpectedly mentioned 'group purchase' items she uses.
When the video was first released, netizens reacted with comments like, 'Pretending to be elegant and sophisticated, but what she says is quite the opposite,' and 'She captured the syndrome of actors well.'
However, after the video had been public for 9 months, it became embroiled in the controversy of 'mocking actress Lee Chung-ah.' One netizen commented, 'It seems like she's speaking in Lee Chung-ah's tone,' and this led to issues when the channel operator liked the comment.
Actress Lee Chung-ah also runs a YouTube channel where she shares her daily life, covering content related to her holidays, travels, skin care, and diet management.
Recently, Lee Su-ji has been performing characters like 'Daechi-dong Jamie Mom' and 'Group purchase influencer Shubli Mom' on her YouTube channel 'Hot Issue Ji.' In the video featuring 'Daechi-dong Jamie Mom,' an analysis suggested that Lee Su-ji's portrayal of a parent doing 'academy riding' while having meals in a luxury foreign car might be a parody of actress Han Ga-in's YouTube video.
As a result, some netizens went to Han Ga-in's YouTube channel and posted negative comments on her 'academy riding' video, leading Han Ga-in to also make the video private.
Lee Su-ji recently appeared on KBS Cool FM's 'Oh My Girl Hyojeong's Turn Up the Volume' where she discussed the 'Daechi-dong Jamie Mom' video, saying, 'I uploaded the Daechi mom video with the intention of leaving it as a memory, but the reaction was so big that it created a burden of not flowing as I intended, and there were misunderstandings, which made me a bit disappointed.'
