Actress Lee Se-hee clarified the rumors about her being of 'Vietnamese royalty'.

On the 5th, Lee Se-hee appeared as a guest on the MBC entertainment program ‘Knowing Bros’ (hereafter ‘Knowing Bros’).

On that day, Jeon Hyun-moo asked, “Are you from the Hwasan Yi clan? Isn’t the Vietnamese royalty from the Hwasan Yi clan?” To this, Lee Se-hee coolly replied, “I saw that too. I am from the Jeonju Yi clan, and since people thought I was royalty, I just left it as is. They see me that way,” which drew laughter.

Lee Young-ja explained, “Isn’t your ancestor Yi Sun-sin? That lineage,” adding, “Aren’t I also from the Yi clan?” She then mentioned, “My hometown is Ijeong-myeon in Cheonan. It’s famous for its Gokong grapes and peaches. The beef is also famous, and there are many strong and beautiful people there.”

Lee Se-hee expressed her gratitude, saying, “It’s not a big place. It’s a myeon unit, and it’s amazing that you all know about it.” Hong Hyun-hee praised Lee Se-hee’s beauty, saying, “They say she’s the third daughter who goes without even looking at her face.”
