Actor Lee Byung-hun and actress Lee Min-jung, even in their 13th year of marriage, are living a newlywed-like marriage, drawing envy from many.
The couple, who married in 2013, welcomed their first son in 2015, two years later. They became parents of two children when they welcomed their second daughter in December 2023 after an eight-year wait.
In particular, their charming lifestyle has attracted attention. Lee Min-jung received significant interest from netizens as she playfully dissed her husband, Lee Byung-hun, on social media. Lee Min-jung earned the nickname "comment restaurant" for her cool and witty personality, which contrasts with her elegant and beautiful visuals. Her humor even attracted people who are not fans to visit her social media.
Lee Min-jung's 'diss' of her husband is not a new occurrence. She openly teased Lee Byung-hun's selfie skills and expressed surprise at the 'black-and-white graduation photo' that shows their generation gap.
Additionally, she recently opened a YouTube channel, allowing a closer look into her married life with Lee Byung-hun. The couple showcased their adorable playfulness while bickering during a trip together.
Breaking away from mystique, Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun have become more approachable to the public by openly sharing their married life. Lee Min-jung's appearance on a variety show allowed audiences to see a new side of Lee Byung-hun. In the variety show aired on the 23rd, titled Heart on Wheels, where the Hong siblings attempted to prepare 100 servings for devoted residents, a segment showed Lee Min-jung talking on the phone with her husband Lee Byung-hun while shopping.
On that day, Lee Min-jung arrived in Boryung after an hour, and she shared Lee Byung-hun's reaction, who couldn't contact her during the shoot. She said, 'He said he's dying to know. He asked why I wasn't video calling or calling him,' adding, 'I told him I was still filming.' It was evident that her husband was eagerly waiting for contact.
Lee Min-jung immediately called Lee Byung-hun and explained, 'There's no time to rest here; it's work,' saying, 'Today, I have to serve 100 meals.' She continued, 'Yesterday, I sold at a convenience store, and today I have to prepare a feast, so he might feel hurt. I ended up making something really delicious here,' eliciting laughter.
During the call, Lee Min-jung also asked about their 16-month-old second daughter. 'Did the second one not cry for me? These days, she keeps pestering me to go out,' she expressed worry, to which Lee Byung-hun replied, 'Fortunately, she didn't cry.'
Lee Min-jung revealed her tender feelings as a mother, saying, 'I can't describe how relieved I am that she smiled and said, "Mom, have a good trip."' At the end of the call, she playfully concluded with 'Got it~ Yes~,' leaving the viewers smiling.
