Actress Lee Min-jung expressed her unwavering passion for acting even after giving birth to her second child.
On the 30th, a video titled "Since my husband is a bit of an excuse, I opened the channel because a touching brother appeared" was uploaded to the 'Lee Min-jung MJ' channel.
That day, Lee reflected on her second daughter, Seo-yi, noting, "When I was pregnant, I honestly didn't know if it was a girl or a boy, and what I thought to myself was, how could life go my way? Even if it was really a son, I thought I should accept it, believing it was given by heaven, but when I heard it was a daughter, I asked about five times. Are you sure? Is it really certain? I asked. I was so happy."
She shared an episode, saying, "My brother also kept saying, 'I wouldn't mind if it was a son, but knowing it's a daughter makes me happy.' The funny thing is, I don't know if the younger siblings of my brother's friends are actually younger, but as they grow older, I don't really ask. But suddenly, when Seo-yi says 'Brother?' it turns out they are in their 20s. So when Jun-ho's friends come over, she calls them 'Brother.' But if she says 'Uh-huh,' it means she is close to my brother Lee Byung-hun."
When asked about her daily routine on her days off, Lee said, "It's about parenting. Looking at it, the job of an actor doesn't really involve daily commutes, but what's tough for me is finishing filming at 3 or 4 a.m. When I come home and go to bed, it's already about 5 a.m., but the kids always wake up at 7 or 8 a.m. I wake up to that sound and play with them, so I didn't get enough sleep. When I started this project, I reached my all-time lowest weight around December, and I thought, if my health gets bad, who will take care of my children? So I made a decision recently to take it a bit easier. But even after this project ends, I will still wake up at the time the kids wake up and work hard for them."
Continuing, when asked if Jun-ho likes watching her act, Lee said, "Yes. I honestly ask Jun-ho directly. Even if I can't take care of you as much or help with your homework, if you agree that your mom is doing something she wanted to do to realize her self-identity, then I can do it happily. I ask openly like that. And he responds, 'Of course, mom should do what she wants. Do everything you couldn't do while I was being born.' He is playful and a bit chaotic, but he has a warm and deep heart."
He expressed his conviction, saying, "I got married when I was really at the peak of my work. I have a longing and thirst for that. I really disliked the idea that just because I got married, I couldn't do youthful romances anymore. There are friends who get married after achieving what they want to do as actors until their 40s, and there are those who haven't married yet. I can't say there's anything that matches me to such individuals, but I strongly want to continuously seek the best I can do in terms of projects or my connection to acting. I think it's the same even now."
