Interview: Lee Young Ji Gives Her All on the First Night of Her Debut US Tour

Preceding the release of her debut EP, 16 Fantasy, and the success of her first #1 charting song, “Small Girl,” the world has seen 22-year-old Lee Young Ji become a prominent figure in the K-Hip Hop scene. And when asked about how she keeps herself grounded while navigating the industry, she mentioned it hasn’t been easy. She describes her journey and mind, as she continues to find her place in the industry, to be very “messy” and “unstable,” and she isn’t one to stay humble. She understands and appreciates her successes and makes sure that there are even times to be chaotic and “all over the place” since that is what life is all about. Later, when asked about the inspiration behind her EP, she mentioned how the album is a representation of the brave and reckless 16-year-old Young Ji, and how she continues to inspire herself to be as courageous as her younger self despite learning and growing more as not only a person but an artist. She proceeded to mention how the song “Unknown Guy” is her favorite song off the EP.
