Since CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) instructor Lee Do suspended his lectures citing health reasons, controversy has arisen as he attended a variety show production press conference and engaged in YouTube activities.

On October 29, Lee Do stated in a handwritten letter, "Due to health issues, I will not be able to conduct the remaining lectures for the Korean Geography and World Geography curriculum for the 2027 CSAT preparation." He added, "I prioritized lectures over my health, and after living that way for several years, abnormal signals began appearing in my body one by one. Even while receiving treatment, I wanted to meet students and could not let go of lecturing, but it seems I should have taken a break at that time. Ultimately, following the recommendation of medical staff, I decided to spend the remainder of 2026 taking time to care for myself for the first time. It is very painful to know that my health condition has affected students' learning."

However, Lee Do subsequently attended the production press conference for Netflix's variety show "Devil's Plan: Dead Again" on the 5th. At the time, Lee Do revealed that he had directly requested a role from PD Jung Jong-yeon at a Netflix event in 2025, stating, "I asked them to please look at me just once if they produce 'Devil's Plan 3.'"

Lee Do then announced the opening of his personal YouTube channel on the 7th and even released a short video promoting the variety show.

In response, criticism continued on platforms such as the Etoos bulletin board on the 9th, pointing out that it was irresponsible for Lee Do to continue broadcasting activities in a situation where scheduled lectures had not been completed with only about three weeks remaining until the CSAT, following his suspension of lectures.

Lee Do also experienced disruptions in his lecture operations due to health issues in 2025. At the time, Lee Do reported that his corneal condition had worsened, making it difficult for him to view monitors and causing difficulties in writing teaching materials. Subsequently, Etoos announced that it would provide only some new lectures and replace the remaining curriculum with existing ones.

Lee Do is a graduate of the Department of Geography Education at Seoul National University College of Education and worked as an instructor for Korean Geography and World Geography at Etoos. Lee Do later gained attention by appearing in Netflix's "Born Solo, But Wanting to Date" and MBC's "Omniscient Interfering Viewpoint."
