When the production team asked about his recent life, Lee Bum-soo said, "It feels like a new energy is beginning these days," and "As many of you know, there were about 2~3 years of personal matters," and he shared that he completed divorce proceedings after two years.
Earlier, Lee Bum-soo remarried interpreter Lee Yoon-jin in May 2010 and has a daughter and a son. However, in December 2023, rumors of their breakup surfaced, and the following March the agency officially acknowledged that the two were undergoing divorce mediation.

About the reason for his silence, Lee Bum-soo said, "I felt sorry for the children, so I just wanted to stay quiet," and repeatedly emphasized, "I feel so sorry for the children."
Lee Bum-soo then revealed the house where he lives alone, and his living alone in the house where he had lived with his family after the divorce drew attention.<
