Isola Expresses Gratitude to Lee Suji for Keeping Fans Entertained During Her Hiatus
South Korean singer Isola has publicly thanked comedian Lee Suji for her dedication to keeping fans entertained during Isola’s period of relative inactivity. The singer made the comments during the launch of her recent YouTube channel on March 6, 2026, signaling a new era of direct engagement with her fanbase.
Isola announced the launch of her official YouTube channel with a video titled “Singer Isola, YouTube Debut Declaration / Isola’s First Spring [ep.0].” During the video, Isola discussed her viewing habits, admitting she typically avoids watching videos featuring herself. “I deliberately don’t appear for them,” she said, adding that she’s only been actively using YouTube for less than a year.
However, she did recall one particular video that caught her attention. “Ah, I saw that one,” Isola said with a smile. “Thank you, Lee Suji. You worked hard while I wasn’t around.”
The singer explained that her appreciation stemmed from seeing Lee Suji’s comedic impersonations of her signature performance style. “When I sing, if I can’t hear well, I sometimes cover my ears, because monitoring isn’t working. I saw a clip of that being parodied,” Isola shared. “She did a good job.”
Isola’s comments refer to past performances and online content where Lee Suji playfully mimicked Isola’s vocal delivery and stage presence. The singer’s lighthearted reaction has resonated with fans, highlighting the playful dynamic between the two artists. This exchange underscores the growing trend of cross-media appreciation within the Korean entertainment industry.
In related news, Isola recently announced her intention to regularly upload content to her YouTube channel, beginning with a series titled “First Spring.” The launch marks a significant shift for the traditionally private artist, who has maintained a degree of mystique throughout her 35-year career. Isola also shared details about her personal life, revealing she ventures out only twice a year and finds being alone increasingly difficult as she gets older.
The singer’s move to YouTube is being seen as a way to connect with fans on a more personal level and offer a glimpse behind the scenes of her creative process.
Isola’s YouTube channel promises to deliver regular content every Friday, offering fans a consistent stream of updates and insights into the artist’s world.
The singer introduced herself to viewers with a simple greeting: “It’s me, Isola.”
