Comedian Lee Young-ja received a harsh "unlikable" critique from an octogenarian in person, and the controversial scene has since been deleted.

Previously, a video titled "How to Taste Autumn First with Lee Young-ja: A Heartwarming Outing to Noryangjin Fish Market" was uploaded on her YouTube channel.

However, in some scenes, unlike the heartwarming title, an elderly person scolded Lee Young-ja face-to-face, causing eyebrows to furrow. The elderly person, who happened to meet Lee Young-ja by chance but did not recognize her, said, "You look just like Lee Young-ja. You resemble Lee Young-ja. But you're prettier than Lee Young-ja."

In response, Lee Young-ja warmly joked, "I hear that a lot. Do your mom like Lee Young-ja?" However, the elderly person retorted, "No. I don't like Lee Young-ja. Lee Young-ja is too off-putting. She shows off too much when appearing with Jeon Hyun-moo and others." The elderly person then bombarded her with explosive remarks such as, "She never got married. Tell her that if she meets Lee Young-ja, she should just be humble so her food taste doesn't go off," and "She's arrogant."

Even so, Lee Young-ja did not lose her cheerfulness until the end, saying, "That person also has many wounds, joys, sorrows, and happiness. There are wounds." The elderly person also remarked, "I am 84 years old. When you get older, you become like a ghost. You have to understand that."

Along with this, the video displayed subtitles reading, "We will have staff explain the misunderstanding to the boss later."

However, the scene spread rapidly, leading to fierce criticism from netizens. In response, the production team deleted the controversial scene and posted a comment stating, "Since it was an ordinary elderly person unfamiliar with broadcasting or cameras, we were deeply troubled watching them unintentionally misunderstood or become targets of excessive criticism."

Lee Young-ja also conveyed her wish that the elderly person she spoke with would not be hurt by this incident. The production team explained, "We adjusted this segment so everyone can watch it comfortably." Currently, this comment has also been deleted.

Netizens responded with comments such as, "Always be careful about what you say," "More people support Lee Young-ja," "It's good that she handles insults from others in front of her with such grace. I hope she isn't hurt by those words," "I was more hurt," "You can't live hearing only good things, but don't get hurt by someone's thoughtless and useless words," "It's touching to think about how many things she must have experienced to be so composed," "Oh my goodness," and "She handled it without showing any reaction — what a magnanimous person."
