Lee Yo-won revealed the backstory of her marriage with her husband in 'Choi Hwajung and Kim Hoyoung's Missed You.'
In episode 7 of the ENA entertainment program 'Choi Hwajung and Kim Hoyoung's Missed You,' which aired on the 20th, Lee Yo-won confessed the reason for getting married early while guests Lee Yo-won, Kang Chan-hee, and Kim Kang-hyun, who were together for the movie 'The Ghosts,' were present.
That day, when asked about the reason she got married at the age of 23, Lee Yo-won said, "Of course, I was in love, but it wasn't a love meant for marriage; it just seemed to fit the atmosphere and timing, and I naturally went with it."
She continued, "I originally didn't want to get married and wanted to do it later if I ever did. But I also find myself asking parents who got married young and had children, 'Why did you marry early? Were you crazy? Why did you do that?'"
Meanwhile, when asked if she was good at cooking, Lee Yo-won replied, "I'm not. I don't like it. I cook out of necessity. In the past, I was good at making kimchi fried rice and doenjang jjigae, and personally, I make good side dishes."
When Choi Hwajung and Kim Hoyoung admired, "If you make good side dishes, that means you're good at cooking," Lee Yo-won shared, "These days, meal kits are available, so I sometimes have those. I tend to do quick and easy cooking. I have no choice."
Most importantly, that day, Lee Yo-won revealed her secrets to looking youthful. Having married early and having three children, Lee Yo-won has consistently boasted her beauty. When Choi Hwajung and Kim Hoyoung said, "It seems that getting married and having children early helps you not to age. It seems to come back quickly," Lee Yo-won responded, "Is it because I live with the kids?"
In reality, Lee Yo-won also mentioned that her weight hasn't changed significantly. She said, "The most I gained during pregnancy was 12 kg. I made an effort to maintain my weight. I felt that if I gained more, it would be difficult, so I adjusted myself after hearing about severe conditions like pregnancy-induced hypertension."
Meanwhile, Choi Hwajung was curious about what it was like when Lee Yo-won first met her husband. Lee Yo-won replied, "His appearance wasn't my type. He looked very delicate and pale, while I liked a bit more of a bear-like appearance, and I preferred a stout person since I was thin."
Then, Choi Hwajung asked, "What was the moment you thought, 'This is the person' while dating?" Lee Yo-won replied, "He valued family highly, just like Chan-hee here. He kept appealing to me, 'I want to build a good family rather than pursue my ambitions.' But I felt I was too young for that. At the time, my husband was in his late 20s," and she said, "Somehow, we ended up getting married."
However, Lee Yo-won noted that she received a lot of criticism at the time of her marriage. She explained, "When I got married, there were journalists inside the wedding venue. But my family and husband weren't celebrities, so I thought it would be intrusive to have them there, which is why we decided on a private wedding. We wanted to keep it among our family, but that didn't work out. At that time, they kept telling us to wait and come out," revealing that there were even physical altercations between security personnel and reporters during the wedding.
