Actor Lee Hyo-jung showed significant differences in stance with his wife Kim Mi-ran.
The MBN program "Sokpul Show Dongchimi," which aired on the afternoon of the 30th, featured the couple with the theme "It's fortunate if we don't fight."
On this day, Lee Hyo-jung said, "One of my wife's lifelong wishes is to appear on 'Dongchimi.' I think I have granted that wish." The couple, celebrating their 35th year of marriage, were coed students in the Department of Theater and Film at Dongguk University.
Lee Hyo-jung said, "Choi Min-sik and Han Seok-kyu are my seniors and juniors. At that time, my wife and I graduated in the same year and performed together at our graduation performance. At that time, Choi Min-sik appeared as my love interest, and Han Seok-kyu played the role of someone who had a crush on me, but I ended up dating and marrying my wife." Kim Mi-ran said, "That's different. I honestly never thought they would become top stars," and Kim Hyun-sook added, "He's not the type to be overwhelmingly handsome." Kim Yong-man also remarked, "They're all great actors."
Lee Hyun-yi said, "Madame Kim Mi-ran probably had very popular visuals," and Lee Hyo-jung recalled, "I put my heart and soul into it." He confessed, "Once I set a goal, I pursue it head-on."
Lee Hyun-yi asked, "You two seem to get along very well, which doesn't match the theme this week," and Kim Mi-ran disclosed, "No, we actually fight a lot." Lee Hyo-jung, sitting next to his wife, fidgeted with his hands, making everyone laugh. Kim Mi-ran explained, "We appeared on 'Dongchimi' to find out how we can avoid fighting."
In a public VCR, Lee Hyo-jung stated, "We haven't moved in for long. We always lived in a big house with lots of people, but now that the kids have all moved out, we have inevitably become independent as a couple."
Originally, the Lee Hyo-jung couple lived with six people, including three children and their mother-in-law, in a 60-pyeong apartment. They have now moved into a 30-pyeong apartment and shared a strange sight of having a washing machine in the room. Lee Hyo-jung admitted, "It hasn't been organized, so right now it's stacked like Tetris," and mentioned that he finished putting up curtains early in the morning. No Sa-bong commented, "The fact that your husband is putting up curtains is amazing," to which Kim Mi-ran responded, "Is it?" in surprise.
Lee Hyo-jung demonstrated his cooking skills. He mentioned, "My wife has hated entering the kitchen for the past six or seven years. I guess it's menopause. She says she hates it more than dying. So what can I do? We need to eat, so I did it. I do almost all the kitchen work."
Lee Hyo-jung made a salad using potatoes in the kitchen while his wife returned home. As soon as she arrived, she asked, "Did you make a lot of food again? Why do you make so much?" and then criticized the chores Lee Hyo-jung had done, including spoons, curtains, and the washing machine.
Lee Hyo-jung stated, "In the past, I used to hear my wife's nagging as loving complaints, but now that I'm getting older, it feels like nagging. I raised three kids, and during that time, I was constantly guiding and supervising them. But now that they are independent, there's no one to guide or supervise, so it feels like I'm being guided and supervised."
Choi Hong-rim remarked, "I genuinely think my brother is amazing after seeing this. When the kids leave, there's no one to target, so the interpretation is that she's instructing and supervising me. Looking at my sister-in-law's expression, she actually doesn't want to supervise, and just having her husband around annoys her."
Kim Hyun-sook shared, "I understand that it doesn't fit. I've put in a washing machine, but nowadays, people want pretty built-ins. It doesn't fit. The hoses are all exposed, and the curtains are for large spaces, so the length doesn't match. It doesn't suit the atmosphere of the house. But what's even more frustrating is that I clearly talked about it long ago, and since he doesn't remember it, I might feel like 'he doesn't listen to me at all.'"
The two traveled somewhere together by car, and during the trip, the wife's nagging continued without interruption. They arrived at a recently acquired rib restaurant. Lee Hyo-jung expressed, "I want us to become friends again quickly, and I want to feel like we are back in our first honeymoon, being together 24 hours a day. Oddly, it seems like my wife doesn't feel that way toward me," which surprised the male guests who said, "Lee Hyo-jung seems like a man's man, but he doesn't act like it."
There was a situation where the wife's laughter bloomed. It turned out that friends had come to visit the restaurant. Lee Hyo-jung, not knowing about it, commented, "I always reported on my activities outside, but since they don't share information with me, I felt a bit hurt?"
The wife decided to travel with her friends in September, and Lee Hyo-jung remarked, "If it's September, we'll probably be incredibly busy with the opening. What if there's no boss? Let's postpone it to mid-October." He expressed, "I hope we quickly become close enough to feel the romantic emotions we had when we were dating in school at the age of twenty."
The wife's stance was different. Kim Mi-ran, who had taken care of her mother-in-law for over 30 years and raised three children, stated, "The youngest finally got a job and moved out. I've also cared for my mother for a long time, so my aunt said she would take care of things and suggested that we live together. We moved with the mindset to live together in a smaller space."
Kim Mi-ran mentioned, "Reflecting on this move, I thought about how many times I've moved in my life, and it turned out to be around six times. This is the first time my husband was present on moving day. Because I was busy, I managed everything from educating to parental issues and financial problems. As I age, I feel it's unnecessary to hold onto things, so I want to live a lighter life. I want to persuade my husband to adopt that lifestyle."
Lee Hyun-yi sympathized, saying, "At some point, that weight all feels like a burden to me." However, Lee Hyo-jung brought most of the furniture that his wife wanted to get rid of during the move. Eventually, Kim Mi-ran said, "I'm going to rest in my room, so please tidy up a bit," and she entered her room.
Lee Hyo-jung stated, "In fact, my wife said not to bring the sofa. She wanted to get rid of it and buy a new small one." Kim Mi-ran replied, "I wanted to throw everything away, but you brought it all with you." No Sa-yeon shared, "While thinking of new household arrangements, we wanted to make changes in moving to a smaller house, starting from the sofa to the desired appliances."
Kim Mi-ran stated, "My kids also told me, 'Mom, throw everything away.' We decided to replace everything with trendy appliances and furniture. We finished discussing this, but you brought everything back." Lee Hyo-jung added, "I feel like I've heard this before…" While his wife was resting, he entered his hobby room and played an instrument. At the sound of the squeaking, Lee Hyun-yi remarked, "When Mom says she's resting, our 10-year-old son reacts like that."
This wasn't the only problem. Kim Mi-ran sighed while looking at the items piled up in the hobby room from second-hand sales. She said, "There's a lot, but they're all shabby. Old cushions, curtains, and mats that others used. It's honestly so terrible that I want to curse."
Thanks to an overwhelming amount of second-hand trading, Lee Hyo-jung's app's manner temperature rose to 74.5 degrees, and he even starred in an advertisement with his son Lee Yoo-jin. However, the wife said, "Even if I give it away, I didn't think you'd use it. It became overwhelming. I wanted to throw it away, but it wasn't easy. I even said I might need to divorce because it was too hard."
Currently, three out of four rooms are filled with Lee Hyo-jung's belongings. Kim Mi-ran remarked, "Living together with you means your hobby room occupies two rooms, and you've taken over a room where the youngest can rest on weekends, haven't you?" Lee Hyo-jung replied, "I'll throw everything away. I'll resolve this within a few days, so don't worry."
Kim Mi-ran asked, "So are you not going to do any more second-hand transactions?" Lee Hyo-jung responded, "No, that's my hobby. Don't interfere with what goes in and out of my room." However, Kim Mi-ran insisted that she absolutely wanted to ban "prohibiting second-hand transactions," and he emphasized, "I hated seeing it so much that I thought about divorce."
