Lee Sang-min revealed his love story for the first time.
On the afternoon of the 11th, SBS's entertainment program 'Miwoo's Child' (hereinafter 'Miwoo') unveiled the process leading up to Lee Sang-min's recent marriage.
In this episode, a new 'Miwoo' member, Lee Hong-ki, appeared. Seo Jang-hoon asked, "Actually, Hong-ki is younger than the other sons. From a mother's perspective, how would you rate Hong-ki?" to which Lee Hong-ki's mother replied, "About 40 points? The other sons are organized and neat. But my son is not. He is a very free spirit. As a mother, I say this, but from a third person's perspective..." pointing out Hong-ki's unique traits.
Lee Hong-ki's mother also responded to the production team's question about what kind of son Hong-ki is, saying, "He is a cool son. He is free-spirited. But from a mother's perspective, I don't think so. He should live with some control, but he is too free-spirited," criticizing him.
She continued, "He doesn't organize things. There is a place for his suitcase in the closet, but he doesn't use it. He just leaves it in front of the dining table and it disappears."
Lee Hong-ki, who revealed his messy home, watched soccer videos after waking up. However, while watching the soccer videos, he also played games and ordered food, showing himself having a meal.
Suddenly, he started online shopping, saying, "Should I buy two of these?" showing his peculiar habit of buying the same item in pairs. In response, Lee Hong-ki explained, "I mainly buy from overseas, so it takes a long time to arrive! If I only buy one, I have to wait a long time. And since customs fees apply, it's better to buy two."
Later, Lee Hong-ki revealed his uniquely structured bedroom, where the bed, dressing table, bathtub, and sink were all in one space, surprising the panel. As a golf enthusiast, while filling the bathtub with water, he suddenly took out a putter and golf club to practice, showing a chaotic scene.
As the bathtub filled up, Lee Hong-ki enjoyed a half-body bath, and soon the bedroom was flooded.
As the sun set, Lee Hong-ki said, "There should be a spot here, right? I got it!" and stared intently at his phone, then exclaimed, "Why are you here?" as he met with his manager. It turned out they were both trying to catch Pokémon. The two even entered an unfamiliar apartment's underground parking lot to catch Pokémon.
The second 'Miwoo' member to appear was Lee Sang-min. He asked, "Can I trust these friends as witnesses?" as he visited Kim Jun-ho's temporary residence. When Kim Jun-ho asked what was going on, Lee Sang-min replied, "What do you mean? I'm getting married today. Jun-ho, I'm getting married. I brought the marriage registration form. My fiancée has already signed it. Not everyone gets married after dating for three years like you. The length of the relationship isn't that important..." and laughed.
When Kim Jun-ho asked, "Is it because I got married?" Lee Sang-min replied, "It's unexpected for you. We've been quietly dating. From today, we are a couple," as he filled out the marriage registration form. Kim Jun-ho remarked, "Wow... I still can't believe it. This is non-cancellable," leaving a lingering impression.
At that moment, the second witness, Seo Jang-hoon, appeared, saying, "What’s going on this early in the morning?" He then asked to see a photo of the fiancée, to which Lee Sang-min replied, "We video call for 4-5 hours a day. I'll show you a photo I captured during a video call."
After seeing the photo, Seo Jang-hoon exclaimed, "She’s beautiful! But why does she... seem a bit model-like?" and Kim Jun-ho joked, "She has a vibe like Kang Soo-ji, right? Did you just capture a pretty person from SNS?"
Lee Sang-min responded, "She seems like an angel sent from heaven, and I met her while working last year. We dated for three months. My girlfriend isn't that young either. She is ten years younger than me and works in a regular company." He continued, "We had no interest in each other until January this year when I visited the hospital due to panic disorder, which was the most serious time for me. I was completely burned out. I wanted to talk to someone, but I couldn't tell close people. While looking through my contacts, I saw her name and, without thinking, I mustered the courage to ask if she had time, and she replied, 'Hello.'
He added, "I suggested we have a meal, and she asked, 'How about tomorrow?' I was being vague, but she was like a female Seo Jang-hoon. She quickly gave me answers, which relieved my heart. After that, we started talking on the phone, and I thought she was a comfortable person for me. I feel like there won't be any more stress once we get married," surprising everyone.
When Seo Jang-hoon asked if meeting his current wife had helped him, Lee Sang-min replied, "Yes! It's been four months since our first contact." He explained, "My wife had a decisive moment. While we were on our way back from a trip to Japan, an elderly woman's walker fell over. The child's mother tried to help, but the child fell. I reached out and caught the child, and my girlfriend saw that. After that, she told me I looked really cool," revealing the reason he fell for her in an instant.
When asked how the woman’s family reacted, he said, "My mother-in-law really likes me! When my mother passed away, she must have watched me on TV. She probably saw that I speak honestly and without pretense. I went on a trip with my mother-in-law and fiancée. After my mother passed away, we didn't have a formal meeting, so I took my mother-in-law to Macau for 2-3 days," indicating that he had already met his wife's family before the marriage registration.
Lee Sang-min stated, "My wife is a first-time bride and a regular person, so she must want a wedding, right? But she doesn't like that. It costs money and all. For me, the marriage registration is the real marriage!" adding that his wife was considerate.
When asked if he proposed, Lee Sang-min replied, "My girlfriend said, 'So I’m getting married without a proposal?' I said, 'I guess so?' I plan to go look for a ring today," he said.
Later, Seo Jang-hoon and Kim Jun-ho called Lee Sang-min's wife to reveal her voice for the first time. She said, "Oppa cooks well for me! He’s clumsy with the knife, but that’s cute," expressing her affection for Lee Sang-min. Seo Jang-hoon said, "Congratulations and thank you. Think of it as having found a person. I hope you are happy for a long time," offering his blessings.
At that moment, Kim Jun-ho said, "There’s someone else who wants to congratulate you," and presented a letter from Lee Sang-min's mother created by AI. When Seo Jang-hoon and Kim Jun-ho couldn't hold back their tears, Lee Sang-min calmly said, "I visited her two days ago. I cried a lot. I met someone my mother would like. She will see me living well," he said.
Seo Jang-hoon expressed regret, saying, "Your mother must have really liked you."
After submitting the marriage registration form, Lee Sang-min expressed, "It feels like all the burdens in my heart have disappeared," showing his exhilaration. He then went with Kim Jun-ho to look for a ring to gift to his wife.
'Miwoo's Child' airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM on SBS.
