In 'Let's Go,' Lee Hye-jeong shared her struggles as an actress's wife who had been gaslighted to the extent that she had to self-hypnotize for her story of in vitro fertilization.
In the episode of MBN's variety show 'Let's Go' that aired on the 9th, the couple Lee Hee-joon and Lee Hye-jeong visited their home.
They unveiled their home in Pyeongchang-dong, which is known to be frequented by celebrities, including Song Joong-ki, Son Seok-koo, Choi Woo-shik, and Lee Seung-gi.
They then revealed their two-story house, showcasing a breathtaking view that amazed everyone. There was actually a story behind the house. Lee Hye-jeong said, "I returned from a month-long honeymoon and the new house had already changed," and explained, "The reason we were able to secure the house was that my mother found it, but the owner was reluctant to sell. I went with fruit and persuaded them, and they shared good energy with us." Lee Hye-jeong, who actually succeeded in getting pregnant in the house, mentioned that it was quite difficult as she conceived through in vitro fertilization.
Lee Hee-joon and Lee Hye-jeong got married in 2016 and have a son together. They were asked about their love story. Lee Hye-jeong shared, "I met him at a birthday gathering for a designer friend; we sat together because of mutual acquaintances. He only had eyes for me and asked about my life plans," recounting their story of falling in love at first sight. She continued, "We went to a club for the second meeting and had our first kiss when he approached me the third time. I initiated it, but my husband kissed me again," sharing the story of their first meeting. However, she shocked everyone by saying they parted ways without exchanging numbers.
Later, a few months after the kiss incident, there was a performance by a mutual acquaintance. Lee Hye-jeong said, "He contacted me to watch the performance together and sang for me on the way to Daehangno. I felt he liked me." When asked about her husband's charm, Lee Hye-jeong said, "I was attracted to his sincerity; he is 99.9% a person who puts in effort" and added, "He shows new charms depending on the works he engages in."
When asked if she was okay with her husband's kiss scenes, Lee Hye-jeong laughed and said, "I hope there are kiss scenes," adding, "If other women find my man sexy, that makes him even more attractive." She continued, "Since my husband is an actor, I try to be cool about it and self-hypnotize to cope." However, one day she found out that there were intimate scenes, which led to her imagining situations; she thought she was okay with it, but ended up having an allergic reaction all over her body. Lee Hye-jeong stated, "For those kinds of scenes, I suggested that we discuss it beforehand or let’s engage passionately together," and she responded coolly, which made everyone laugh and say, "They are a perfect match."
At that moment, Lee Hee-joon's surprise letter event was revealed. The letter said, "Thank you for living with me; let's go on a date to a performance later." Lee Hye-jeong noted, "He has such a romantic side," while Ahn Jung-hwan expressed his support, saying, "They often kiss. I hope they have a second child."
