[9] Neko Case covered Lee's song "Knock Loud" on her 2001 EP Canadian Amp.

[12] An album of music written by Sook-Yin and Adam was completed in 2020 and was released under the title of jooj two in April 2021 on Mint Records.

During her last appearance as a MuchMusic VJ in 2001, Lee and her co-host turned their backs to the camera, and mooned the audience on live television.

[15][18] She became the new host of CBC Radio One's Saturday afternoon pop culture magazine radio-show Definitely Not the Opera in 2002.

[19] In the fall of 2004, she hosted a documentary celebrating Terry Fox as part of the CBC Television series The Greatest Canadian.

In 2016, Lee hosted the 10 episode summer series Sleepover for CBC Radio,[22][23] which continued as a podcast[24] until 2018.

Due to Mitchell's announcement that the film was to be sexually explicit in nature – Lee and other cast members perform non-simulated intercourse and masturbation on screen – the CBC initially threatened to fire her.

The film takes place in various locations around the world - Canada, China, and South Africa - demonstrating the universality of STDs/STIs.
