Jang Seok-hyun, a former member of the group Shop (S#arp), appeared on member Lee Ji-hye's YouTube channel and revealed his wife for the first time, sharing the news of her pregnancy.
On the 7th, a video titled “Why did Lee Ji-hye betray Shop's Jang Seok-hyun after 20 years? (Shocking recent news, first reveal)” was posted on Lee Ji-hye's YouTube channel ‘Mibji Anheun Gwanjong Unni’.
In the video, Lee Ji-hye introduced Jang Seok-hyun and his wife, who is a former child actor. The couple, who married in 2022, were waiting for pregnancy news after undergoing embryo transfer through IVF during the filming of the YouTube video.
In the meantime, it was shared that Lee Ji-hye's husband had a prophetic dream involving Elon Musk, and that Jang Seok-hyun's wife was able to sell it as a good omen.
After filming, Jang Seok-hyun's wife sent a message to Lee Ji-hye saying that the pregnancy was successful, and Lee Ji-hye added a caption saying, “May you grow up to be a global billionaire like Elon Musk.”
Lee Ji-hye and Jang Seok-hyun also revealed behind-the-scenes stories from before Shop's debut. Lee Ji-hye said, “Jang Seok-hyun debuted as a model without any hardship, while I trained for a year before debuting,” and recalled, “Even when I practiced alone for hours, no one paid attention to me, but suddenly a model came in and was always sprawled out.”
Jang Seok-hyun mentioned that he was very cautious around Lee Ji-hye at the time, saying, “She was always on edge, and I wondered, ‘Why is she so angry? Should I talk to Sang-min and ask for a member change?’”
After quickly gaining popularity post-debut, Shop disbanded due to conflicts among members, leading each of them to go through tough times. Jang Seok-hyun confessed, “Everyone was exhausted from work and people.”
After the disbandment, Lee Ji-hye and Jang Seok-hyun formed a group called ‘Ban Shop’ to make a comeback, but due to circumstances, only Lee Ji-hye ended up pursuing solo activities.
Lee Ji-hye said, “When I released an album, I had to do it alone to get investment,” and added, “I felt sorry, but I thought I should stand up first, which caused us to drift apart again.”
However, Lee Ji-hye, who fell into depression as her solo activities were not going well, revealed, “While doing variety shows, I felt relieved and thought of Seok-hyun again, so I reached out.”
Jang Seok-hyun admitted, “Actually, I cursed a lot, but hearing this now, I feel sorry,” and confessed, “When you were doing well, I strangely had resentments and cursed a lot inside, and I also cursed a lot to people around me,” as he apologized to Lee Ji-hye.
