Lee Sang-min and Bae Hae-sun Spark Romance on 'My Ugly Duckling'

Lee Sang-min and actress Bae Hae-sun, who is one year younger than him, created a romantic atmosphere.

On the 22nd, SBS's variety show 'My Ugly Duckling' (hereafter referred to as 'My Ugly Duckling') featured actor Choi Jin-hyuk inviting Jung Suk-yong, Lee Sang-min, and Bae Hae-sun to his home.

On this day, Lee Sang-min drew attention by appearing with a stylish hairstyle. Choi Jin-hyuk commented, "Lee Sang-min once mentioned that he wanted to have a drink with me in private."

Bae Hae-sun then appeared, and Lee Sang-min praised her, saying, "She is an excellent actress and seems to appear in almost every drama I watch." Bae Hae-sun responded, "I was born in 1974, and you were born in 1973, right?" and called him 'oppa' (older brother). Both of them attended Seoul Institute of the Arts and Changcheon Elementary School.

Lee Sang-min reminisced, "We went to the same school in the same grade. Didn't you see my breakdance performance in the fifth grade during the talent show? One person sang 'Hope' while I did breakdancing."

Bae Hae-sun revealed that she hadn't dated in over ten years, saying, "Even if someone sends signals, I don't notice. People who are sensitive to such things immediately know when someone is interested in them." Lee Sang-min complimented her, saying, "When you first came in, I thought you were pretty."

When Bae Hae-sun asked, "I haven't experienced this before, so I don't know. Is this flirting? Are you trying to appeal to me?" Lee Sang-min replied, "It's not flirting; I was being sincere. But if you feel it's flirting, then it's flirting based on facts."

Additionally, Lee Sang-min helped Bae Hae-sun by squeezing crab meat for her, to which she responded, "Oppa, you're cool," expressing her gratitude. Seo Jang-hoon commented, "This is flirting. Squeezing crab meat to this extent is definitely flirting."
