In 'Jjanhanhyung,' Lee Byung-hun radiated warmth as a family-oriented dad.
On the 24th, a video titled 'EP. 85 Was it a rerun? But it even goes into ㄷㄷㅗㅇ stories! Caution: true friends' was posted on the 'Jjanhanhyung' channel, featuring actor Lee Byung-hun.
That day, they discussed the upcoming release of the movie 'Seungbu.' As the release date approaches on March 26, when asked about his wife Lee Min-jung's comment on whether he had improved his Go skills, Lee Byung-hun said, 'I have a lot of comedic ambition. If I post a funny comment, she comes home right away and asks why I did that, but now I enjoy it too much.' When asked about the energy at home, Lee Byung-hun mentioned, 'I read the mood from my wife,' which caught attention.
Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun married in August 2013 after a year of public dating, and welcomed their first son in 2015. In 2023, they announced the pregnancy of their second child after eight years, and in December of that year, they welcomed their second daughter. At that time, Lee Byung-hun was 53 years old and became a 'daughter fool' after finally having a daughter.
Lee Byung-hun noted, 'In the early days of marriage, I didn’t realize for over five years how different men and women are. When my wife tells me how hard her day was, I give her a solution thinking it would make her feel better, but one day she suddenly said, 'Oppa, listen!' So I just listened for a while.' He added, 'After listening continuously, her anger subsided and she felt better. It took me five years to realize this; these days, I just add comments during conversations.'
When asked about his son, Lee Byung-hun shared that when his son was four years old and he showed him movies, the boy would say no one knows and keep it a secret. 'If he said mom didn’t know either, I thought I was a real hero. My son kept my secret for years,' Lee Byung-hun explained. 'In fact, he didn’t even know that dad was an actor. I think he saw no distinction between my cell phone and TV. It was not until two years ago, during a special screening at the 'Florence Film Festival,' that I finally took him to see my movie every day for a week.'
Lee Byung-hun recalled, 'But all the films were rated 19, and among them, 'Gwanghae' was worth watching.' He mentioned that while waiting for a stage greeting, his son cried out loud enough that the audience stared. When he asked his son why he cried so much at his performance, he said, 'It was when Do Bu (the character) died,' which made everyone laugh. Lee Byung-hun added, 'Even so, it was the first time experiencing what it felt like to see dad on screen. Shortly thereafter, he started reaching for me instead of just looking for mom, which felt nice, but it only lasted two days.' He laughed, saying, 'One day when someone asked to take a picture, he suddenly held my hand and said, 'Dad.'
When asked if tomorrow was a holiday, Lee Byung-hun responded, 'Everyone thinks I am a busy person, but I actually don't go out and prefer being at home. Until today, I had been at home for about two weeks.' He added, 'I mainly watch movies at home, and I also enjoy documentaries and 'I Am Solo.' Mentioning his second child, Lee Byung-hun said, 'Watching the newborn baby is so nice, I really enjoy being at home.'
