Yeo Esther revealed that her husband, Hong Hye-gul, had been inactive for a year.
Esther Yeo, a CEO and family medicine specialist who runs a business with annual sales of 100 billion won, appeared as a special MC on SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereinafter referred to as 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2') aired on the 19th.
Lee Bong-won also appeared in the studio that day. Esther Yeo said of Lee Bong-won, "I met her on 'Radio Star' two years ago. After that, when I went somewhere, she asked me if I was a better match for Lee Bong-won than Hong Hye-gul." MC Kim Sook said that Lee Bong-won and Yeo Esther have something in common, "They are the first company dating couple. The second is celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. The third is living in each house."
The cast members told Esther Yeo that her husband, Hong Hye-gul, "is said to have surpassed Jang Hang-joon and Lee Sang-soon to become the best married man." Lee Bong-won testified about Hong Hye-gul's Jeju Island house, "The house is almost like a palace." MC Kim Gu-ra also helped by saying, "I've been to Jeju Island's house where Hong Hye-gul lives. There is a front yard, a 100-inch TV, and even a swimming pool (Hong Hye-gul) was very comfortable."
Esther Yeo said, "My husband has no idea that he has to earn money." "Last year, he had lung surgery. Histological examination showed that it was lung cancer, but it's not really a big deal. After that, he said that since I'm a lung cancer patient, I can't work and live comfortably and happily. That's it." It's been over a year," he said.
When Lee Ji-hye heard that Hye-gul Hong had been unemployed for a year, she was surprised and said, "Then does the teacher pay for all of her living expenses?" Kim Gu-ra joked, "In the future, wives across the country should slap Hong Hye-gul instead of Lee Bong-won." Lee Bong-won said, "You have to hit the head, not the back," causing laughter.
