"Even meeting was a mission"… Lee Min-jung reveals secret romance with Lee Byung-hun in full story
In 'Heart on Wheels', actress Lee Min-jung unexpectedly shared episodes from her secret romance with her husband Lee Byung-hun, drawing the viewers' attention. From paparazzi chases to hiding at friends' houses, it was a real-life romance of a top actor couple.
In the broadcast of 'Heart on Wheels' on the 1st, while the members of 'Jeong-siblings' were enjoying the scenery of an island village, MC Boom noted, "I hear celebrities often date on islands or by the Han River," which prompted Lee Min-jung to share her secret date story.
Then, Lee Min-jung recalled, "I once evaded a paparazzi," saying, "We kept seeing familiar license plates in front of our houses. If I turned right, they would follow, and if I went straight, they would follow again." The cast listened with bated breath to this vivid memory, as if it were a scene from a movie.
She continued, "I told my oppa (Lee Byung-hun) to make sure to note down his car number. Since it was hard to meet directly, we would sneak meet at a friend's house and use a friend's car to see each other," recalling the times when even meeting was a mission.
Lee Min-jung remarked, "I felt sorry for the paparazzi following us. They waited for hours. In the end, we got caught," adding that the movie-like 'ending' of their not-so-long secret romance was revealed, with actual paparazzi photos being made public.
Upon hearing the story, cast members such as Young-tak, Kim Jeong-hyun, and Boom exclaimed, "It's totally thriller-level," "Celebrity romances are different," expressing their admiration, while viewers reacted passionately right after the broadcast, saying, "The two look great together," "Their love was genuine, and so was their effort," and "The meeting itself was a drama."
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun married in 2013 and became parents of a son in 2015 and a daughter in December 2023, creating a warm family with their two children.
