Lee Min-jung revealed a story about reuniting with Lee Byung-hun after their breakup.
On the afternoon of the 9th, a video titled "From Lee Min-jung's silver spoon stories to being cast in 'Boys Over Flowers.' I'll tell you everything *Lee Min-jung life briefing" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ.'
Lee Min-jung said, "I met Lee Byung-hun about a year before 'Boys Over Flowers' exploded. I talked about this a lot on broadcasts: after dating for a year, oppa had to go abroad for more than a year. From his point of view, 'she was just starting out and trying to work, there must have been some trouble; when I came back from abroad, we were bye-bye,' he said. At that time I thought, 'How dare he?' (laughs) I thought there was no reason for the breakup. I felt the year abroad was just an excuse, and I believed that breaking up unconditionally meant there was no love, so I cut it off decisively," she said.
At the time, Lee Byung-hun had to go abroad for a Hollywood debut, and it was reported that it was difficult to continue a long-distance relationship with Lee Min-jung, who was rising in popularity.
She continued, "Oppa suddenly called me from abroad. Because of the time difference, when calls came at odd times I would hang up and not answer; I would reply the next day by text or not respond at all. I left him on read," and "then I went to award ceremonies like Baeksang and Blue Dragon to receive a rookie award at a film festival. I was nominated for 'Cyrano Agency' and went there, and I saw him. He gave me a kind of nod with his eyes, so I looked but ignored him. (laughs) After that we met again and got married," she said, drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun married in 2013, welcomed their first son in 2015, and in Dec. 2023 they welcomed a late-born daughter.
