Actor Lee Jang-woo shows off his potential as a marriage evangelist during a video call with his 'fiancée' Jo Hye-won.
In the MBN·MBC Everyone entertainment program 'Do You Know Home Cooking' airing on the 30th, actor Lee Jang-woo is depicted embarking on a Taiwan tour with model and broadcaster Jung Hyuk. The two, linked by their 'strong eating habits,' not only genuinely showcase their eating broadcast in front of food but also continue deep discussions about marriage that spark curiosity.
On the first night of the Taiwan trip, while resting briefly at the accommodation, Lee Jang-woo received a call responding, 'Sure, babe,' and in that moment, his fiancée Jo Hye-won's voice came through the receiver, raising the 'sweetness index' significantly. After a short yet impactful conversation with her, Lee Jang-woo shared, 'I really found myself after meeting my girlfriend. Over the past 8 years, I gained weight, roles didn't come in, and people spoke ill of me. But when I accepted that 'that's me,' another path opened up,' explaining the background of overcoming his slump.
In response, Jung Hyuk opened up, saying, 'I like living as a workaholic. I think my priorities might change when I meet someone I really love, but I don't think that's the case yet. I haven't found myself yet, so it's disappointing.'
Lee Jang-woo, who is set to marry this fall, captures attention by revealing the ordinary future he dreams of with his girlfriend. He said, 'I made seaweed soup for my girlfriend's birthday, and she woke up to the smell of it. But she said that moment was the happiest during the whole day. When I heard that, I thought, 'This is my life going forward.'
'In my 20s, I wanted to live a glamorous life, but now I think I understand. I'm just a person who dreams of living happily while cooking home meals for my children and family. It's so joyful to prepare baby food and cook for people when they come over. I don't get tired even if I stand in the kitchen all day. I feel like I've found something that energizes my life,' he said, evoking envy from single man Jung Hyuk.
'Do You Know Home Cooking,' showcasing Taiwan's home-cooked and street foods along with Lee Jang-woo and Jung Hyuk's similar eating chemistry, will air at 10:20 p.m. on the 30th.
Meanwhile, Lee Jang-woo recently directly refuted allegations of being an '800,000 won two-timer' by saying it wasn't him. In an online community, he claimed, 'My ex-boyfriend's agency sent 800,000 won,' alleging that a male celebrity he previously dated was in a double relationship and that the agency offered 800,000 won as a consolatory payment, leading to the raised allegations as Lee Jang-woo, who is approaching marriage, was mentioned.
