On the 30th, a video titled 'Lee Da-hae Becomes an Advisor for a Chinese Company' was uploaded to her YouTube channel.
In the video, the production team visited Lee Da-hae's home, greeting her with, "Hello, Advisor." Lee Da-hae casually responded, "Why am I suddenly an advisor?" The production team explained, "Today's concept is a human documentary. Besides being a celebrity, you have another role, right?" They expressed their desire to film a day in the life of the company's advisor.
Dressed in a suit, Lee Da-hae revealed, "I am serving as an honorary advisor for a company called 'Sesang' based in Shanghai, China." She explained, "Our company engages in live broadcasting, content production, and MCN, promoting and distributing Korean brands in China. As a Korean celebrity, I am involved in marketing to introduce Korean products." She humbly added, "I started this to promote my country, but I'm not sure if I'm doing well."
Lee Da-hae visited the company for a product selection meeting. However, she appeared lost as she was used to being escorted by staff who usually operated the elevator for her. She humorously noted, "As an advisor, I don't press elevator buttons."
Lee Da-hae toured the office with employees, sharing meals from the convenience store. She was particularly fascinated by Korean ramen and tteokbokki, exclaiming, "These are all Korean products."
The production team asked local employees about working with Lee Da-hae. The company representative expressed, "It's a joy. She's a perfectionist, and I've changed a lot because of her. I'm a 'P' type, and I've never met someone so 'J' before. I've learned a lot from her."
Lee Da-hae concluded, "Following the employees around, the day just flies by. I'm so happy to share a day in my life thanks to the PD."
Regarding her role as an honorary advisor, Lee Da-hae admitted, "It was challenging at first. As a foreigner, I was worried if I could fit in, but it all worked out." She encouraged others, saying, "Humans are adaptable creatures. If you enjoy it, you can find work that suits you. I hope everyone lives courageously and enjoys life."
Meanwhile, it was revealed that Lee Da-hae sold a building, purchased under a corporate name believed to be a family business, for 24 billion KRW last August, making a profit of approximately 20 billion KRW.
