[Sports Chosun Reporter Jo Yoon-seon] The ‘character-rich’ Lee Soo-ji has transformed into ‘Baekdu General’ this time.
On the 7th, a video titled “[2025 Eulsa Year New Year’s Fortune] Baekdu General’s Chilling Fortune Telling!! The Secret Method to Accumulate Wealth in the New Year Revealed!” was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Hot Issue Ji.’
The video features Lee Soo-ji transformed into a shaman named ‘Baekdu General.’ She demonstrated such a high level of synchronization with an actual shaman that it induced laughter.
When asked to explain the meaning of ‘Baekdu General,’ Lee Soo-ji said, “I went on a trip to Baekdu Mountain in China, and as I was climbing, although the weather was sunny, suddenly lightning struck. From that point on, there was no sound I couldn’t hear and nothing I couldn’t see—it was as if the lightning endowed me with mystical insight. So, I was named Baekdu General because I received the energy of Baekdu.”
She continued with a laugh, “When asked why I’m not called a girl or a fairy but a general, it’s because I’ve been often likened to a general since I was young.”
Lee Soo-ji, when asked to reveal which zodiac signs are in for a challenging year, mentioned the Sheep, Pig, and Rabbit signs, stating, “There’s a way to endure well when health issues arise. Exercise in the morning and evening. Improve your diet properly. Eat a lot of vegetables, chew thoroughly, and eat slowly. Then even those with challenging zodiac signs can greet 2025, the Year of the Blue Snake, with good health,” she emphasized.
Suddenly claiming to hear the words of a deity, Lee Soo-ji gazed sharply at the camera and said with a laugh, “They’re telling you to go to the gym. A New Year’s special sale in January. It’s a family 1+1 deal, and they say it’s non-transferable.”
Netizens responded with comments such as, “It’s exactly right,” “It’s hilariously good,” “It’s spot on,” “The detail is crazy,” and “Lee Soo-ji is a genius.”
