Actor Lee Byung-hun confessed that before his marriage he raised as many as 27 dogs, surprising everyone.
On the 20th, the YouTube channel "TteunTteun" featured lead actors Lee Byung-hun, Lee Sung-min and Yim Hye-ran from the film No Other Choice, where they shared various stories. When MC Ji Seok-jin asked, "Don't you keep any pets?", Lee Byung-hun said, "I don't keep anything now. When I lived with my mother before marriage, there were as many as 27 dogs," revealing this and stunning Yoo Jae-seok and Ji Seok-jin.
Lee Byung-hun recalled, "More than half of them were large or medium-sized dogs. Including the puppies, it came to 27," and added, "Feeding them was enormous, but cleaning up their droppings was even harder." He continued, "In the end I asked people around me, 'Would you like to raise a dog?', and now only about four remain."
The conversation that day turned into a pet talk. Ji Seok-jin said, "I also want to raise a dog these days. The child has grown up," and Lee Sung-min recommended, "I recommend a cat over a dog," boasting about his pet cat.
He said, "My cat is like a dog-cat; it loves people so much. When I come home it flips over in front of the door, and when I go into a room it follows me in." Ji Seok-jin asked with curiosity, "Does it run up like a dog?", drawing laughter.
Lee Byung-hun married actor Lee Min-jung in 2013 and has one son and one daughter.
Meanwhile, Lee Byung-hun's confession has also renewed attention to the tragic past of his younger sister, former Miss Korea and broadcaster Lee Ji-an, who lost a pet dog to a poisoning attack in the past.

Mom will catch the evil murderer. I miss you so much, I'm sorry and I love you. Police, please catch the bad people who do horrible things to good kids," which drew sorrow. After losing her pet dog, in her grief Lee Ji-an held a charity bazaar to help abandoned animals with support from her brother Lee Byung-hun and others.
