On her YouTube channel 'Hot Issue Ji', a video titled '' was uploaded featuring Kim Hyun-ki, Lee Ye-rim, and Jung Chan-min. The video was themed around 'Aching Fingers', where Lee introduced her colleagues as treasures not yet widely known to the public. They candidly shared behind-the-scenes stories from their past careers, built on years of friendship.
Jung Chan-min, who worked with Lee on the popular segment 'Hwanghae', recalled a frightening injury Lee experienced during her early career. According to Jung, Lee severely sprained her ankle and was told by a doctor that her ankle couldn't support her weight due to her relatively thin and pretty ankles compared to her larger body size.
Jung explained that Lee's physique was 1.5 times larger than it is now, and the doctor warned her that she could die if she didn't lose weight, which brought laughter to the set.
The video also highlighted Kim Hyun-ki's dedication, who helped Lee during her injury by carrying her up to the 5th floor of their research lab daily. Lee expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Kim for his support during that time.
Kim humorously responded, "I was hoping to hear this directly from Lee Su-ji," reminiscing about the challenging times they endured solely on the strength of their friendship, despite being the youngest with no expectation of reward.
