, “Previously, Lee Su-ji gained significant attention for her parody series ‘Human Documentary: Children are Good,’ which lampoons enthusiastic mothers in Gangnam’s private education scene. Items such as the Moncler jacket and the Goyard bag she wore became trendy among Gangnam moms, known as ‘uniform’ items. Her parody videos went viral and led to a surge in second-hand sales posts for these products.”, “Now, she’s wearing Hermes and Van Cleef & Arpels, prompting netizens to comment, ‘Another luxury brand will have a hard time,’ ‘Condolences to the luxury goods,’ and ‘Perfectly captures it, refreshing.'”, “However, there are concerns that these ‘Daechi Mom’ parodies could perpetuate negative stereotypes. There’s also controversy over whether Lee Su-ji targeted actress Han Ga-in through the parody, as Han had shown her routine of driving her children and sending them to private lessons on her YouTube channel. Han deleted the video to protect her children after the controversy escalated.”, “Following the controversy, Lee Su-ji expressed her feelings in March on KBS Cool FM’s ‘Oh My Girl’s Hyojung’s Raise the Volume,’ stating, ‘I’m disappointed that it was taken differently from what I intended.’ She added, ‘I wanted ‘Daechi Mom’ to remain a memory, but the reaction was overwhelming, putting pressure on me. I incorporate traits of people or experiences into my character. The protagonist of the next character could be you.'”, “Nevertheless, the latest video once again demonstrates Lee Su-ji’s talent for satire. Within two days of its release, it surpassed one million views and ranked third on the trending videos list.”
