Lee Su-ji Mistaken for Global Star Psy During 'Part-Time Vacation' Safari Tour

Comedian Lee Su-ji experienced a hilarious misunderstanding during a safari tour in Tanzania, where she was mistaken for the global music sensation Psy. The incident occurred on the MBC variety show 'Part-Time Vacation' (also known as 'Al-Kang').

On the episode aired three days ago, Lee Su-ji, alongside co-stars Jung Joon-won, Kang Yu-seok, and Kim Ah-young, embarked on an adventure in Tanzania. Their journey began with a flight in a small plane from Zanzibar Airport to Mikumi National Park.

The trip was filled with surprising moments right from the start. Upon arrival, the plane made an unexpected landing not on a conventional runway, but directly on an unpaved road within the safari grounds. The cast members expressed their astonishment at the unique landing experience, a sight only possible in the African wilderness.

Things took an even more amusing turn when Lee Su-ji disembarked. A foreign tourist approached her, seemingly recognizing her, and requested a selfie. However, as the interaction unfolded, Lee Su-ji realized the tourist believed she was Psy.

With her signature comedic flair, Lee Su-ji responded, "No Psy. I'm not Psy," instantly cracking up everyone present. When the tourist revealed they were from the United States, Lee Su-ji playfully quipped, "If you're American, you might know me. Perhaps you attended one of Psy's concerts?" adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.

Korean netizens found the situation incredibly amusing. Comments included, 'Lee Su-ji is hilarious, getting mistaken for Psy is legendary!', 'The safari landing was already wild, and then the Psy mix-up made it even funnier!', and 'I thought they were going for part-time work, but it looks like a real vacation, so jealous!'.
