Actress Lee Mi-sook mentioned past scandals.

On the 7th, Lee Mi-sook appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhan-hyung Shin Dong-yeob'.

On that day, MC Shin Dong-yeob said about Lee Mi-sook, "Originally, she is a down-to-earth, funny, and cheerful person," adding, "People don't really know that."

In response, Lee Mi-sook joked, "You think I only like younger men?" Shin Dong-yeob humorously replied, "Why do you think she only likes younger men? She likes older ones too," which drew laughter.

Recently, Lee Mi-sook has been communicating with the public through her YouTube channel 'Sookseureoun Mi-sook', where she expressed, "I need to keep it going for a long time, and I've thought a lot about what to show for a long time."

When Shin Dong-yeob said, "You show your messy makeup table realistically on YouTube," Lee Mi-sook remarked, "While doing YouTube, I felt that people had a lot of preconceived notions about me."

Additionally, Lee Mi-sook stated, "As an actress, I often think that 'I shouldn't lose my charm as a woman'," and added, "I tried something rash to confirm that, and that rash act could turn into a mistake."

When Shin Dong-yeob asked, "Was that about the younger man from the past, was that to confirm it?" Lee Mi-sook firmly replied, "No, that's not it."

She then expressed her frustration, saying, "People don't want to hear explanations and just label me as 'she is that kind of person'."

She continued, "I find comfort in the fact that I haven't lost my charm as a woman. While they attack me with their raw opinions, I take that as my own comfort."

Lee Mi-sook remarked, "That's just something that can happen to anyone in life, and everyone can make mistakes," emphasizing, "Since we are celebrities, we are judged by many standards, but I see it as something that will just pass by."

She then joked, "Isn't it better to be younger than older?"

Previously, Lee Mi-sook was embroiled in allegations of having an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-younger man who worked at a host bar in 2012.

At that time, Lee Mi-sook stated, "It's defamation and personal attack," and expressed, "Before being a celebrity, I have lived without shame as a mother of a grown son and as a wife to a partner."
