[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Programmer and entrepreneur Lee Doo-hee created and shared a mask notification site to help citizens struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the 5th, Lee Doo-hee posted on his Instagram, "'Like a Cool Lion' people made the 'Mask Alimi' (Mask Notifier). It shows the mask stock of convenience stores in nearby areas in real-time (within 10 minutes). I hope it helps you find masks," along with a link to the Mask Alimi site and a screenshot.
'Like a Cool Lion' is a programming and IT service education organization founded by Lee Doo-hee in 2013. As the demand for masks surged recently due to the COVID-19 situation, Lee Doo-hee developed the 'Mask Alimi' site together with developers from 'Like a Cool Lion.'
His public girlfriend, Rainbow member Jisook, also shared the site on her Instagram account, writing, "I hope this helps those in need. Mask Alimi. Let's overcome this together," promoting the site.
Meanwhile, Lee Doo-hee reportedly holds a bachelor's degree from the Department of Computer Engineering at Seoul National University Graduate School but dropped out of the doctoral program. He gained fame as a "genius hacker" after appearing on tvN's 'The Genius: Rule Breaker' in 2013. Currently, he serves as the CEO of 'Like a Cool Lion' and the programming education company 'Barogagi.'
