Actor Lee Byung-hun congratulated his wife, Lee Min-jung, on reaching 500,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.
On the 15th, a short video titled 'A Congratulatory Video from Overseas (Not AI)' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ.'
In the video, Lee Byung-hun celebrated the milestone of 500,000 subscribers on Lee Min-jung's YouTube channel. Previously, Lee Min-jung had declared that she would blur her husband Lee Byung-hun's face until she reached 500,000 subscribers.
Still appearing with a blurred face, Lee Byung-hun greeted, "Hello, this is Lee Byung-hun," and said, "Congratulations on MJ YouTube reaching 500,000 subscribers."
After the blur was removed, revealing his face, Lee Byung-hun joked, "Now that there's no blur, I'm greeting you with full hair and makeup."
He added, "I hope MJ YouTube continues to bring joy to many people. Fighting!"
Subscribers, who had enjoyed the blurred appearances of Lee Byung-hun, reacted with comments like "Finally, oppa is here," "Keeping the blur was more refreshing," and "Now that I've seen BH without blur, I'll subscribe again," bringing laughter.
Lee Min-jung surpassed 500,000 subscribers approximately eight months after launching her YouTube channel. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "Hello, this is Lee Min-jung. When I first started YouTube, the producers said, 'If we reach 500,000 within the year, it would be great,' and now, about eight months later, we've thankfully reached 500,000. Thank you so much for watching despite any shortcomings."
Regarding the unblurring of Lee Byung-hun, she stated, "The 500,000 pledge to unblur BH is subject to the actor's portrait rights, so I respect his opinion. If there's a moment he wants to unblur, he can choose to do so comfortably."
Finally, Lee Min-jung wished her viewers well, saying, "Have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year. The Lee Min-jung MJ channel will continue to bring healing, fun, and informative content!"
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun married in 2013 and have one son and one daughter.
