Actress Lee Yo-won candidly shared her thoughts on getting married at the age of 24.

Lee Min-jung's parenting comrades included actress Lee Yo-won and parents of children who are friends or in the same basketball team as her son, Jun-hoo. Notably, acquaintances with connections to Son Tae-young and Lee Seo-jin also made an appearance, drawing attention.

During a conversation about children, Lee Min-jung asked Lee Yo-won, "How old were you when you had your first child?" To which Lee Yo-won replied, "I had my first child at 24." Curious, Lee Min-jung asked, "Would you marry young again if you could go back?"

As a mother of three, Lee Yo-won honestly responded, "No, if I could go back, I wouldn't get married at 24. While there are regrets as an actress, as a woman, I don't think there's a need to marry early unless you really want to."

Lee Min-jung noted, "These days, people marry much later," and an acquaintance commented, "Isn't the advantage that you have raised them and they are like friends?" Lee Yo-won emphasized, "It's not about marriage, but having children early."

Upon arriving at the campsite, under a 'no parenting talk' rule, Lee Yo-won lamented, "When couples live together for a long time, all they talk about is the kids."

Regarding conversations with her husband, she revealed, "My husband enjoys gossiping about others. Initially, I disliked talking about others, but he felt disappointed when I didn't join in."

She added, "I'm a T (thinking type), so I don't empathize easily, but when I started empathizing, he liked it. Now, when I overreact, he stops."

Meanwhile, Lee Yo-won married businessman Park Jin-woo, a former professional golfer six years her senior, in 2003. They have one son and two daughters.
