Additionally, through her YouTube channel 'Hot Issue Ji', Lee has created a variety of alter egos, garnering massive public response. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed, as she won the Comedian category at this year's 'Korea First Brand Awards' and is also a nominee for the Female Variety Show Star at the upcoming '61st Baeksang Arts Awards', highlighting her success in both comedy and acting. The partnership with CP Entertainment, a subsidiary of Coupang established in 2023 that produces hit series like 'SNL Korea' and 'Office Workers' and offers management services, is drawing keen interest.

CP Entertainment, which has expanded its footprint as a comprehensive entertainment company, also represents Shin Dong-yup and Ji Ye-eun.
