Comedian Lee Su-ji / Photo=Photoguy by Lee Dong-hoon Following her resumption of YouTube activities amidst political color controversies, comedian Lee Su-ji faces divided public reactions regarding her return. On August 25, Lee posted a video titled "Health Tips Completely Unrelated to What Sturdy Sister Teaches" on her YouTube channel 'Hot Issue Ji'. Subsequently, on the 1st, she released another video titled "Driving Lessons by Yeon-su-ji / Closet License Holder / Novice Drivers Welcome / 30 Years of Experience." This marks Lee's first appearance with new character content since her July release of "How Civil Servant Kim Ji-young Protects Her Iron Rice Bowl," 42 days prior. /Photo=YouTube 'Hot Issue Ji' Previously, the video "How Civil Servant Kim Ji-young Protects Her Iron Rice Bowl" sparked political controversy over scenes that included audio from protest participants. Critics questioned whether legitimate demonstrations were being portrayed as malicious complaints or public nuisances, prompting the production team to delete the disputed scenes. As the controversy persisted, Lee bowed her head through a handwritten apology letter. The video was subsequently removed, and no new content appeared on 'Hot Issue Ji' for an extended period. Although activities resumed after about a month, netizens' reactions remained divided. /Photo=YouTube 'Hot Issue Ji' Some netizens welcomed Lee's return with comments such as "We've been waiting," "As expected, she excels at character portrayal," and "Glad to have you back." Meanwhile, others criticized her for resuming content activities without issuing a separate additional statement. Changes also appeared in view counts. The video released just before the controversy garnered approximately 680,000 views, while the comeback video featuring 'Sturdy Sister' recorded around 100,000 views. The subsequently released "Driving Lessons by Yeon-su-ji" video saw a rise to about 310,000 views but still falls short of pre-controversy view counts. Lee Su-ji has returned to her primary work in character content after 42 days of political color controversy. With voices welcoming her return coexisting alongside persistently cold stares, attention now focuses on whether 'Hot Issue Ji' can regain its former buzz. <© STARNEWS. All rights reserved.
