Comedian Lee Suji once again drew sympathy with realistic satire. This time she transformed into a kindergarten teacher, delivering both laughter and bitterness at the same time.
On the 7th, the YouTube channel 'HotIssueJi' released a video titled 'Kindergarten teacher Lee Min Ji's never-ending 24 hours [Human docu real Extreme Job]'.
In the video, Lee Suji appears as Yoonseul class homeroom teacher Lee Min Ji, who goes to work from 4 a.m., and unravels the reality of kindergarten teachers plagued by excessive work and dealing with parents as black comedy.
Teacher Lee Min Ji said she was in charge of 'early morning care' for dual-income parents and "likes being able to see the children for a long time," but she immediately added, "I am a nonmarriage advocate," creating the bitter feeling of a working person's reality.
In particular, she practiced greetings in a voice raised by one octave to meet parents' demands, and when told that her "tension is low," she even corrected her morning greeting tone.
In addition, various "outrageous demands" continued during drop-off times. Guardians demanded class assignments that matched their child's disposition, or asked probing questions about the teacher's private life, unleashing boundary-crossing questions. In particular, Lee Suji said, "The teacher of Neulbom class went to Gapyeong without telling us in advance that she had a boyfriend and I received calls all night," and said with a sly tone, "That was our fault. We should have told them in advance," satirizing the situation.
She also joked self-deprecatingly, saying, "A parent said the iPhone aesthetic was nice so I changed my cellphone," and "They didn't buy it for me; I bought it with a 36-month installment plan," adding to the laughter.
At the end of the video, with dark circles down to her jaw, Teacher Lee Min Ji, who sent the last child home after 10 p.m., said, "Now I just have to clean the classroom, make teaching materials, upload Kids Note photos, and write letters and then I can leave work," leaving viewers solemn.
Netizens who watched the video empathized, reacting, "I'm a current teacher and I laughed until I cried," "Kindergarten teachers' reality verification is insane," and "It's satire but it's so real it hurts."
Lee Suji is being praised for once again accurately pinpointing the "bittersweet reality" with her signature everyday-life social satire.
