Lee Byung-hun's bathroom story revealed by Lee Min-jung

Actors Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Min-jung showed off their abs to promote their movie 'Switch' and talked about their husband Lee Byung-hun.

On the 2nd, SBS Power FM (Seoul, Gyeonggi 107.7MHz) '2 O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show' featured a 'special invitation' corner, and Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Min-jung, who are about to release the movie 'Switch' (directed by Ma Dae-yoon), appeared as guests.

On this day, Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Min-jung transformed into ‘Switch’ promotional fairies. 'Switch', starring Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Min-jung, is the story of Park Kang (played by Kwon Sang-woo), a top star who was enjoying a glamorous single life, a 10 million actor ranked 0 in castings and a self-proclaimed scandal maker, when his life changes 180 degrees on Christmas.

Kwon Sang-woo said, "'Switch' is the first Korean movie to be released in Korea in 2023. A rich and clueless top star lives a 180-degree different life." He then said, "'Switch' is released on January 4th. If you don't enjoy watching it, please request a refund from 'Doo O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show'. We will refund the entire amount. Don't you need a place to shift responsibility?", making people laugh.

One listener said, ‘I wonder how manager Kwon Sang-woo viewed the movie.’ Regarding this, Kwon Sang-woo said, "Our manager also saw the movie several times. He said it was good. He said it was a blast. He said, 'Let's wait without making a fuss,' and 'Let's wait calmly.' Senior Lee Byung-hun is also coming to the (VIP) screening today. “My parents are coming too,” he said.

In the movie, Kwon Sang-woo parodies his most famous character, the hermit crab. Kwon Sang-woo made people burst into laughter by explaining, "It was in the movie script. I had forgotten about it, but when we decided to make a movie and were having lunch with the director and parting ways, he texted me saying we should do our best. I sent him an emoticon with this and he said he had decided to include this scene."

DJ Moon Se-yoon asked if ‘Lee Byung-hun is cheap these days’ is one of the lines in the movie. Kwon Sang-woo replied, "It was ad-libbed on set. (Oh) Jeong-se said that line and was very worried." He added, "He is a very funny actor in his work, but off camera he is very quiet and calm. I was worried a lot about what Byung-hun would think when I talked about him."

Lee Min-jeong said, "He asked me to get permission. I told him, but he said, 'No,' and he thought he couldn't do this, so he asked me to get permission. My husband said that it would feel good if it exploded, but wouldn't it be okay if it came out meaningless. So I was more worried." He explained.

Lee Min-jung also made people laugh by saying, "Shouldn't we watch it with the audience? During the preview, all the men liked that part. When I saw it, I guess they wanted the men to cum." He then said, “I am not in that scene.” Kwon Sang-woo made people burst into laughter by saying, “Min-jeong wasn’t there so we did it.”

Another listener sent a text message to Lee Min-jung saying, ‘Have you heard the story about Se-yoon and Byung-hun’s bathroom story?’ Lee Min-jeong said, "I heard it. I heard it directly from my husband before I came out and said it again." The story is about Moon Se-yoon and Lee Byung-hun meeting in the bathroom at the Baeksang Arts Awards. Moon Se-yoon explained, "I met him in the bathroom. I was in a hurry, so I went in and he was doing some business. I bowed to him, but he looked at me straight away. He said, 'We can't even shake hands when we meet like this.'"

Moon Se-yoon said, "We couldn't shake hands because our hands were busy. We met again the following year. What's humorous is that he didn't have to come to me, but he came to me, so I held out my hand. He said, 'It must be hard to shake hands when it's so wet.' “He came back to do a repeat comedy after a year. He’s a comedian, so I was extremely touched,” he said, making everyone laugh. Lee Min-jung said, “I have a desire for comedy,” and Kwon Sang-woo hoped, “I hope the two of you can meet one more time.”

Kwon Sang-woo revealed his abs. In response, DJ Kim Tae-gyun said, “It will go to over 6 million.” Lee Min-jung said, "There are parts in the movie where (Kwon Sang-woo's abs) are clearly visible. I'll give you a tip. There's a bathroom scene." Kwon Sang-woo said, “If the movie goes well, please call me one more time.”
