Lee Young Ji showed off her social skills by chatting with airport staff and getting their SNS during immigration screening.
On the June 23rd episode of the tvN variety show “Earth Arcade 2”, Lee Young Ji was crowned as the “Cultural President.”
The same episode shows Lee Young Ji, who arrived in Bali and was greeted by fans who held up placards to welcome her.
In fact, even in Finland, the female rapper encountered overseas fans who recognized her. As a result, after hearing teasing praises like “K-Culture itself,” “History of Hallyu,” and “Cultural President” from the members, Lee Young Ji officially gained the nickname “Cultural President” within “Earth Arcade 2”.
Later on, Lee Young Ji fully utilized this nickname during the immigration process in Bali. During the car ride while heading to the crew’s accommodation, PD Na Young Seok even said that he hoped she hadn’t done something embarrassing during immigration. He then exposed Lee Young Ji of writing her occupation as “K-Culture President” without any hesitation.
Lee Young Ji explained the situation, saying, “Why did I do that? It’s because they asked me, ‘You like BTS?’ Without any hesitation, I said ‘Yes.’ Then they said, ‘You have Instagram? Give me, give me,’ so I followed them right away.”
Hearing this, Lee Eun Ji expressed surprise, saying, “This is the first time I see somebody do (Instagram) follow while going through immigration.”
According to Lee Eun Ji, since she was behind Lee Young Ji during immigration, when asked about her occupation, she simply said, “I’m a friend of the K-Culture President.”
In response, Ahn Yu Jin shared her own anecdote, saying, “When it was my turn, I don’t remember exactly what they said, but it was something like ‘Are you same?’ So I said ‘Yes’ in return.”
In response, Lee Young Ji evoked laughter by recalling, “I guess that’s why Yu Jin came out quickly. In the end, I took the longest because I was bragging about myself, and behind me, they were saying ‘Same, same,’ so they came out immediately”.
