Former Lovelyz Member Lee Mi-joo Expresses Discontent with Production Team on YouTube Show

Former Lovelyz member Lee Mi-joo recently expressed her discontent with the production team.

On the 6th, a video titled 'Relaxed Lee Mi-joo in the Tense World of Rhythmic Gymnastics (with National Team Member Son Yeon-jae)' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Just Lee Mi-joo.'

In the video, Lee Mi-joo expressed her disappointment towards the production team, saying, "You guys had a gathering without me. It's really annoying. You could have at least asked me."

Before learning rhythmic gymnastics, Lee Mi-joo commented on her athletic abilities, saying, "Dancing is different from exercising. Dancing doesn't help you lose weight or build muscle." She also confessed, "I used to be flexible, but I've lost it. I learned ballet in the past but was kicked out due to lack of talent."

Watching Lee Mi-joo showcase her flexibility, the production team commented, "You look like a flexible mantis." Lee Mi-joo humorously responded, "Let's fight someday," bringing laughter.

Former national rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae made an appearance. The two confirmed they were the same age and greeted each other warmly, even drafting a simple contract. The contract humorously included clauses like "Total class time is 3 hours," "No saying 'I can't do it,'" and "Complete one routine."

During a rigorous stretching session and while learning ribbon movements, Son Yeon-jae remarked, "We got the thumbnail," to which Lee Mi-joo sarcastically replied, "You're good at business." When the PD performed better, Lee Mi-joo jokingly said, "Get lost," showing her discomfort and eliciting laughter.

After completing the session, Son Yeon-jae praised, "She is full of energy, so it was fun. I used to teach adult classes before having a baby, and it felt refreshing to do a one-on-one lesson again."

However, she also candidly evaluated, "If a minor like Mi-joo were to dream of becoming a rhythmic gymnast, I would recommend a dance academy or an agency."

Lee Mi-joo humorously concluded, "I thought I did well. Since I didn't receive any compliments, I'll change my career path and go to a dance academy. If I were to join the national rhythmic gymnastics team, the whole nation wouldn't stay quiet," drawing laughter.
