Singer Lee Min-woo has responded to criticism of "poor cosplay."
On the 6th, the KBS2 entertainment program "Salim Namja Season 2" (hereafter "Salim Nam") aired a segment showing Lee Min-woo reuniting with his fiancée Lee Ah-mi, who had just arrived in Korea, and their 6-year-old daughter, Mi-jjang.
On that day, Lee Min-woo headed to the airport to welcome his fiancée and daughter. He took a bus to the airport. After the 2.6 billion won fraud incident, Lee Min-woo revealed that he had sold his car and has been using public transportation since then.
The production team asked, "Do you take the bus when you come?" and Lee Min-woo explained, "I have luggage and a child, and since (Lee Ah-mi) is pregnant, it would be more comfortable to take a taxi."
Some netizens have reacted sharply, saying that Lee Min-woo's frugal lifestyle is "poor cosplay."
In response, Lee Min-woo stated, "It's not that I'm worried about being a celebrity," and added, "I'm not pretending to be poor. It's just that I can't find a newlywed home right now, so I'm trying to save as much as possible."
Earlier, in July, Lee Min-woo announced his marriage news on social media. He said, "After going through various situations recently, I felt mentally exhausted and tired, and while spending a lot of time with my family, I reflected on the meaning of family. I had a vague desire to 'build my own family that supports each other' someday. During that time, I confirmed mutual feelings with a precious relationship I have known for a long time and decided to become one family."
