The comedian took to her personal YouTube channel on February 9th to share her “Japanese Chocolate Tour,” documenting visits to renowned chocolate shops across the country.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the pre-Valentine’s Day excursion, Lee and fellow comedian Eun-ji sampled a wide array of chocolates. Despite the sweet journey, Lee humorously quipped, “I’m getting chocolate fatigue!”<\/p>\n

She also challenged societal norms, questioning the significance of Valentine’s Day and encouraging viewers to break free from conventional expectations.<\/p>\n

The following day, Lee continued her confectionery quest at a Japanese market, accompanied by Tomoki Fujiwara.<\/p>\n

Tomoki expressed surprise upon learning of Lee’s chocolate purchases in Shinjuku and Ginza.<\/p>\n

At the market, Lee discovered a chocolate shop offering incredible value. For just 1,000 JPY (about 6.70 USD), the shop owner personally curated a selection for her. Ever the chocolate enthusiast, Lee requested more, ultimately receiving eight pieces.<\/p>\n

Astounded by the bargain, Lee’s reaction prompted Tomoki to playfully remark, “It’s because you’re beautiful, noona,” eliciting smiles all around.<\/p>\n

Lee then joked, “If you gift chocolates from here on Valentine’s Day, you might get slapped,” injecting humor into the outing.<\/p>\n

Tomoki Fujiwara, a multifaceted entertainer, has been active in Japan since 2008. He debuted with the group Aestyle and has since established himself as an MC and actor.<\/p>\n

Recent footage of Tomoki visiting Lee’s home has surfaced, showcasing their close friendship.<\/p>\n

In other news, Lee relocated to Tokyo last April to enhance her Japanese language skills. She recently made headlines by announcing she had secured a regular spot on a Japanese broadcast.<\/p>\n
