A post titled “Lee Se-hee’s Unbelievable Persona? Why Viewers Are Blaming the Production Team” surfaced on an online community, accusing the show of manufacturing her quirky image. During her appearances on Omniscient Interfering View, Lee Se-hee showcased unexpected habits that contrasted with her polished image. Her manager revealed, “She’s really unusual, but she doesn’t think so at all.”
When she first appeared on July 5, Lee Se-hee’s relatable daily life — from timing her routines with a timer to applying makeup via an app — quickly caught public attention. She even wore socks with flip-flops while walking her dog, continued barefoot after the sandals broke, and displayed an unconventional spontaneity that intrigued viewers. That episode topped its time slot with a 3.2% rating.
However, her second appearance on August 9 drew skepticism. She nonchalantly let water overflow while filling an ice tray, seriously read a book with its cover text printed upside down, and went for a walk with her dog carrying a broken umbrella. She even lay down in the grass in a knit sweater after wetting it with cold water. At one point, she startled the panel by pulling a pile of blankets from a window frame, explaining, “It’s not an ordinary window, there’s a bit of a gap. Everyone uses it differently.” Panelist Yang Se-hyung joked, “What’s next, the landlord coming out of there?”
Her laid-back attitude extended to her wardrobe, as she reportedly wore damp clothes straight from the washing machine when going out. Her manager confirmed, “She doesn’t care she just puts them on and leaves.”
The broadcast sparked mixed reactions. Critics said, “This is so staged”, “No ordinary person does that” and “A glamorous actress picking up a broken umbrella? Come on.” Others added, “Wearing knits in wet grass makes no sense” and “She was fine the first time, but this went too far.”
Meanwhile, supporters praised her refreshing demeanor, commenting, “She’s down-to-earth”, “I like that she’s not pretentious” and “She might be genuine — we have Kian84, don’t we?” Some speculated “Maybe her agency encouraged her to be more natural”, while others noted, “She doesn’t act like a typical actress, and that’s a good thing.”
