Lee Da-eun “Living is there”
On the 20th, on the YouTube channel 'Namdari Mac' of the couple Nam-gi Yoon and Da-eun Lee, there was an article titled '"If you're a newlywed... there's no fun, right?" A video titled 'Honest and dizzying trouble counseling center opened (feat. Lee Ji-hye♥Moon Jae-wan) [Extraordinary Ozzy EP.1]' was posted.
The staff asked, “Have you ever gathered like this?” Jihye Lee replied, “No, this is my first time.” When Moon Jae-wan said, "Did our baby get sick during the wedding?" Lee Ji-hye said, "I went, right?", making everyone laugh. Lee Ji-hye expressed her admiration, saying, "The wedding was great. Didn't I say to Lee Eun, 'Dad, I will protect you forever'?"
Moon Jae-wan complimented Yoon Nam-gi's appearance by saying, "Your face is really small," and Lee Ji-hye said, "You should have been an actor." In response, Lee Da-eun boasted, “My older brother (Yoon Nam-ki) originally received business cards from SM four times.” Namki Yoon corrected, “No. 3.” Lee Da-eun commented to Moon Jae-wan, “In reality, he looks a bit like JYP.” Lee Ji-hye asked, “Kim Tae-woo, does this feel like this?” Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun were surprised and agreed, saying, “Huh!” Moon Jae-wan bowed his head and said, “This is the first time I’ve heard something like this in my life. Thank you.”
Lee Da-eun asked Moon Jae-wan, “Celebrity is a glamorous profession. Can a non-celebrity feel rationally toward a celebrity?” Moon Jae-wan replied, “I met Lee Ji-hye as a woman rather than as a celebrity Lee Ji-hye.” He then satisfied Lee Ji-hye by jokingly saying, "You have a flashy personality."
The couple, Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun, decided to look into the story in earnest. The first story was from a housewife in her 40s, ‘Life is so boring.’ The storyteller said that she gets angry at her children and often drinks alone, possibly due to depression, and that she envies those who drink alone with their husbands. As caregivers, Lee Ji-hye and Moon Jae-wan couple sympathized with the housewife's story and gave realistic advice.
Lee Ji-hye said, “It’s a secret,” and revealed her thoughts ahead of Moon Jae-wan’s birthday. Lee Ji-hye said, "It was my birthday the other day, and I went out after sleeping for almost two hours and didn't come back. It was my birthday yesterday, but I came home at 10 p.m. I thought to myself, 'This guy, how can he do that on his birthday?'. It's just my imagination, but I'm getting divorced after 15 years." “I’m single from a rich family in the U.S., but I’m a Korean,” he said. Moon Jae-wan then intervened, saying, “I’ll just go out alone.”
Jihye Lee laughed out loud and then continued her imagined story. Lee Ji-hye said, "I'm single, but I'm a cool Korean. I speak Korean and English. I have several mansions in Malibu. But he's a younger guy. He's in love with me. He says he can't live without me. So there's nothing I can do. “I have to live with that man without him. While imagining that, I concluded, ‘This is a process.’” Yoon Nam-gi was puzzled and asked, “What is this?” Moon Jae-wan burst out laughing, saying, “It doesn’t have to be 15 years. I’ll give you a chance now.” Yoon Nam-gi burst out laughing, saying, “Isn’t it going to be over in 15 minutes (instead of 15 years)?” Lee Ji-hye persuaded him, saying, “People can imagine. Isn’t that a sin?” Namki Yoon agreed, saying, “It was an unexpected solution.” Lee Da-eun said, “I don’t think it’s bad,” and agreed, “It’s like I feel vicarious satisfaction while watching ‘Idol Singles,’ and at the same time, I feel hope.”
The four people returned to talking about their stories. Yoon Nam-gi said, "If you look at the story, it doesn't seem like he wants anything big. He wants to have a private drink with his husband. My husband may not like alcohol, so I hope he doesn't become obsessed with drinking and tries to do something on his own first. Then, naturally, he wants to do something on his own." “Wouldn’t you be able to communicate better with your husband?” she advised. Lee Ji-hye confessed, "Right now, it's inevitable that you're going through difficult times while raising a child. It's like that for everyone. Don't others seem to be doing well? It's all just a show window. 90% of everything on S NS is a lie." At this, laughter erupts. Jihye Lee recommended watching YouTube and Netflix. Lee Da-eun advised, "(The storyteller) said that other friends got along well with their husbands. I hope you think about that. That's where life is all about." When Lee Ji-hye said, “Da-eun is a person who has been through difficult times, she is the best,” and Lee Da-eun nodded. Moon Jae-wan drew laughter by summarizing, “Today’s conclusion is that living is there.” Lee Da-eun emphasized, “Don’t compare too much.”
Lee Ji-hye asked Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun about their newlywed life, saying, “You two are newlyweds, so isn’t this a joke?” Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun were embarrassed. Lee Da-eun replied, “I’m newly married, but I’m still raising children, so I don’t think I can think about it.” Moon Jae-wan sympathized, saying, “If you focus your energy on children, you will have no energy left.”
