Actor Lee Min-jung candidly confessed about her "gold spoon rumors."
On the 9th, Lee Min-jung uploaded a video titled "From Lee Min-jung's gold spoon rumors to being cast in Boys Over Flowers. Telling you everything, Lee Min-jung's life briefing" on her YouTube channel "Lee Min-jung MJ." In the video, Lee looked back on her life with actors Lee So-yeon and Wang Bit-na and opened up about the gold spoon rumors.
She said, "It's true that my grandfather and my uncle received presidential awards in the field of fine art, and that one of them was a KAIST professor who conducted research at an Antarctic base," but added, "We were not always affluent financially. My father went through a hard time, and during that period I thought, 'I need to make money.'"
She continued, "When a sense of lack came into my life, I had a strong desire to fill it," and said, "I did receive a good education, but I did not come from a family that could splurge."
Lee So-yeon and Wang Bit-na expressed surprise at the fact that she paid her own tuition and worked part-time jobs starting in college. In response, Lee Min-jung added, "I like the saying that you should even buy hardship when you're young," and, "My father's difficult period actually became a great nourishment for me."
Lee Min-jung married actor Lee Byung-hun in 2013. They have a son and a daughter, and she has recently been actively communicating with fans through her YouTube channel.
