Actress Lee Min-jung revealed her love story with her husband Lee Byung-hun.
On the 9th, a video titled "Lee Min-jung's Golden Spoon Story to Flower Boy Casting. I'll tell you everything *Lee Min-jung Life Explanation Meeting" was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ'.
Lee Min-jung recalled, "I met Lee Byung-hun just before 'Boys Over Flowers' became a hit," and added, "After dating for a year, he had to go abroad for over a year."
She continued, "From his perspective, there might have been a thought like, 'She's just starting her career, is it right for me to hold her back?' So he said, 'Since I'm going abroad, let's say goodbye.' At that moment, I thought, 'How dare he?' I felt there was no reason for the breakup. I thought the year abroad was just an excuse. I believed that breaking up without love was not right, so I decisively ended it," she explained about their breakup.
Lee Min-jung said, "Suddenly, Lee Byung-hun called me from abroad. Since the time difference was off, he would call at strange times, and I would hang up and not answer. The next day, I would text back saying, 'I couldn't answer because I was sleeping' or just ignore him. I left him on read." She added, "Then, during the film festival, I went to award ceremonies like Baeksang and Cheongryong to receive a rookie award. I was nominated for 'Cyrano Agency' and saw him there. He gave me a glance, but I ignored it. After that, we met again and got married."
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun got married in 2013 and welcomed their first son in 2015. In December 2023, they gave birth to their second daughter.
