Premiering on the 2nd, "uh, but like, seriously!" instantly showed why Lee is called a master of alter egos, upgrading her to a full-on character-mix maestro in viewers’ eyes.
Billed as a fresh character talk show that fuses distinct universes with original personas, the series let Lee flex her next-level transformations from episode one. In a prison-world skit, she became top-ranked inmate Kill Boksoon, radiating charisma that overwhelmed Tak Jae-hoon and Lee Sang-min. In a cafe-meet universe, she flipped into “Dduji,” an eye-catchingly introverted character that had everyone cracking up.
Locked into a format that zips between alter egos and real talk, Lee unleashed her human character vending machine appeal―dancing on the line between sketch and reality for thrills and fresh laughs. Her electric banter with co-MCs Tak Jae-hoon, Lee Sang-min, and KAI of EXO clicked right away. Her easy, steady hosting also pulled out engaging topics with first-episode guests Choo Sung-hoon and Jeon So-min, keeping just the right amount of tension.
Matching the energy of each segment, Lee swapped faces on the fly like a true transformation ace, flipping the mood and injecting the program with life―proving she’s indispensable to the show.
Since debuting in 2012, Lee Su-ji has moved across comedy, variety, and YouTube as a true multi-hyphenate entertainer. Last year, she won Best Female Variety Performer at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards and the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards, cementing her status as a breakout variety star.
Alongside steady appearances on Coupang Play’s "SNL Korea," JTBC’s "I Can’t Do It Alone" (literal title), and MBC’s "The Secret Friends Club," her all-around performance on "uh, but like, seriously!" adds even more momentum to her trajectory.
