Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun's Hilarious Real-Life Couple Chemistry in Japan
On the 30th, a video titled 'Meeting Byun-sama in Japan! (Filming: Lee Min-jung)' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung.' In the video, Lee Min-jung shared, "I am currently in Tokyo, Japan. My son, Joon-hoo, has a basketball match here for four days, and coincidentally, Lee Byung-hun is having a fan meeting in Japan at the same time."
Lee Min-jung humorously explained, "When I asked my son if he would go to his dad's fan meeting after his match, he said he'd rather hang out with his friends. So, with a hint of disappointment, only I am heading to the fan meeting."
Upon arriving at the fan meeting venue, Lee Min-jung commented, "Lee Byung-hun has been an actor for 35 years, but he finds vlogging very awkward. Moreover, he has stage fright, so he's quite sensitive on days like today when he has a fan meeting." Despite her concerns, Lee Min-jung humorously declined Lee Byung-hun's request to watch him from backstage, saying, "I'm too hungry. I'm going to eat here."
A particularly amusing moment was when Lee Min-jung pointed out Lee Byung-hun's stage mistake. She candidly asked, "You did well compactly, but didn't you miss the first note?" To this, Lee Byung-hun joked, "A little pitch mistake makes it feel like a real live performance. If it's too perfect, people might suspect it's lip-syncing." Lee Min-jung also teased him, saying, "It's not like the song requires such meticulous vocal care," as she watched him focus on his vocal maintenance after their meal.
Previously, Lee Byung-hun gained attention for his 'Healthy Smile Dance' at a fan meeting in Tokyo Dome. Lee Min-jung explained on KBS2TV's 'Problematic Men Season 2' on the 22nd, "I asked why he danced with such a big smile, and he said the producer directed him not to lose his smile. My husband is known for following directions well."
Meanwhile, Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung, one of Korea's top star couples, overcame a 12-year age gap and tied the knot in 2013. They have a son and a daughter together.
