Following her kindergarten teacher character ‘Lee Min-ji’, Lee Su-ji has transformed into a hospital ‘problem patient’ character and is drawing an explosive response.

On the 5th, the YouTube channel ‘Hot Issue Ji’ released a video titled ‘The Wise Hospital Life of Hwang Jeong-ja [The Silver Heyday]’. In the video, Lee Su-ji appears as the middle-aged woman character ‘Hwang Jeong-ja’ and portrays life as a hospital inpatient.

In the video, Hwang Jeong-ja grumbled that she had developed tennis elbow while playing golf, saying “Even when I try to eat bread, my elbow gives out, so I cannot eat bread or rice cake.” She then shouted, “Hey, nurse, when are you bringing the meal?” displaying rude behavior, and gossiped with other patients that “the staff here are slow.”

When the meal arrived, she said, “This is not seasoned at all, is it? Nurse,” and even after being told it was a low-sodium diet, she complained, “The meat is too tough. Give me fish instead.” When she did not get what she wanted, she even whined, “I am not eating this.”

In particular, Hwang Jeong-ja kept boasting to the nurses about her son, eliciting laughter. To a 29-year-old nurse, she urged, “You are the same age as my son. You should meet him,” and even when the nurse declined, she kept pitching, saying, “My son works at Hynix,” “He has a home with three rooms,” and “He drives a BMW.”

She then continued the introduction even to Yoo Min-sang, who appeared as her son, saying, “He is this dependable but does not know how to dress himself,” and, in front of the nurses, bragged about her son yet again, completing a highly realistic ‘ward boss’ character.

After the video was released, users who identified themselves as nurses left comments showing real-life resonance, such as “I am a nurse and I am getting PTSD,” “Feels like someone I saw just yesterday,” “I dealt with a patient like that this morning,” “There really are many people who think a hospital is a hotel,” and “That is the mild version.”

Other users marveled at the observational skills of Lee Su-ji in portraying everyday ‘villains’ with striking realism, commenting, “Let us live kindly, before Lee Su-ji imitates us,” “Lee Su-ji is almost at the level of a sociologist,” and “Is this not a nationwide project to eradicate obnoxious behavior?”
