Life and career

Lee's housewife mother is her manager and hairstylist, while Lee's father, who works as a painter, drives her to her getai shows.[1][2]

Outside of her getai gigs, Lee hosts about 20 shows a month for clan associations, temples, community centres and corporate entities.[1][4]

In 2022, Lee acted in her first web series Gong Dou Gong Lüe, directed by Jack Neo.[5]

In 2023, Lee appeared in the dialect series Whatever Will Be, Will Be; it was her first acting role on television in her thirty years of entertainment career.[6][7]
