On May 23, a recent video titled “We Danced on a Chartered Plane” was shared on Lee Da Hae's YouTube channel 1+1=Lee Da Hae, detailing her amazing journey flying to Korea on a private jet provided by a Chinese influencer.
In the video, Lee expressed her thrill, mentioning that it was her first time experiencing a private jet trip to Korea. She was amazed by the vastness of China's influencer industry, which she had only heard about before. Lee specifically talked about a popular Chinese influencer called Dandan, who has an impressive 110 million followers. Lee shared that they had collaborated before and that Dandan was planning a live broadcast in Korea with a sales target of 400 billion KRW ($292 million).
Dandan urgently contacted Lee to invite her as a guest on the live show. Despite facing challenges booking flights with Korean Air, Asiana, China Southern, and China Eastern that would allow her to bring her dog, Grayton, Lee was surprised when Dandan arranged a private jet for her at a cost of 70 million KRW ($51,100) just to have her on the live stream for 30 minutes.
Upon arriving at the airport, Lee was greeted warmly and was impressed by the luxurious interior of the jet. During the short flight while enjoying wine and steak, Lee admired the experience and remarked on Dandan's determination. The next day, Lee appeared on the live stream for half an hour, which contributed to sales of 20 billion KRW ($14.6 million). The production team jokingly suggested she change her name to "Lee 20 billion" to celebrate the success.
