SEÑORITA LEE: LA VERDADERA HISTORIA DETRÁS DEL ÍCONO DE LA TV

There are names that become nicknames, and nicknames that become a strange home. For years, Miss Lee was a beloved face on Argentine television: charismatic, elegant, unforgettable. But behind that persona was a real, complex, and profoundly human story. A girl born in South Korea, who arrived in the country at the age of nine without speaking Spanish and who had to change her name to fit into a world that regarded her with strangeness. In this edition of Platea, Ale Peñalba talks with Margarita Lee—John Jui, her birth name—about that bilingual childhood, the uprooting, the humor that masked the sadness, the sudden fame, the television success, and the silent burnout that forced her to give it all up while she was still at the top. “For years I didn’t know who was speaking: Miss Lee, Margarita, or John Jui.” Amidst memories of Héctor Larrea, anecdotes from Channel 9, parades, airplanes, Korean-language programs, and difficult personal periods, Margarita recounts how she finally found a way to unite her three names, her three lives, into a single identity: the psychologist who now helps others reconcile with their fragmented selves. A luminous and moving conversation about identity, migration, television, sacrifices, and inner reunification. An audience that also becomes a mirror. Quality information. This is Lobo con Lobo.
