Lee Mi-joo, who has left all the shows she was doing with Yoo Jae-suk, revealed her honest feelings.
On the 9th, a video titled 'I opened the Mi-joo channel because I was wondering what to do' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Just Lee Mi-joo.'
Previously, Lee Mi-joo joined the MBC entertainment program 'How Do You Play?' as a regular member since August 2021 and has been active for nearly 4 years. She was highlighted as a rising star in the entertainment industry and also appeared in tvN's 'Sixth Sense,' and signed an exclusive contract with Antenna, the agency to which Yoo Jae-suk belongs.
However, in May, Lee Mi-joo and Park Jin-joo left 'How Do You Play?', and the program changed to a four-member format with Yoo Jae-suk, Ha Ha, Joo Woo-jae, and Lee Yi-kyung remaining. This year's newly launched 'Sixth Sense: City Tour' also saw a major change in members, resulting in Lee Mi-joo's absence. It seems that for the time being, a two-shot of Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Mi-joo will not be seen.
The production team asked, 'What is your favorite program between 'Sixth Sense' and 'How Do You Play?'' and Lee Mi-joo replied, 'Both were fun. Especially 'How Do You Play?' had this sense of responsibility that I felt. At that time, I had a strong sense of mission.' She added, 'After discussing with the PD, we reached an agreement. We said, 'Let's do it this way,' and that’s how the departure was talked about.'
She continued, 'It's not that I was informed here, nor did I mention that I would leave; it was all well organized through agreement, so I’m disappointed, but I think that’s just how it ended up.' She confessed, 'I even think it turned out to be a good thing.'
Meanwhile, on this day, Lee Mi-joo announced her new start as a YouTuber, saying, 'Hello, this is Just Lee Mi-joo. I had the first gathering with the production team to celebrate the opening of the YouTube channel, and I would appreciate it if you could just take a look.'
