Lee urged, "Please stop watching YouTube," and criticized, "The reason no one makes money by investing after watching coin or stock broadcasts is that if someone could really predict rises and falls, they would invest themselves instead of broadcasting."

He further criticized YouTube broadcasts, saying, "Except for cases where Super Chat (YouTube donations) exceeds investment returns or where the broadcast itself is used to manipulate and fleece retail investors, there is no reason to talk about high-level investment information or political information on broadcasts."

Meanwhile, on the 20th of last month, Lee posted on his Facebook, "This summer, I am going to attend the personal taxi transfer education I reserved in advance," adding, "Two years ago, while driving a taxi, I promised to understand the hardships of the taxi industry and to consistently stand with them, and I intend to keep that promise."
