Actor Lee Young-ha Shares Hilarious Dubbing Experience During Bed Scene

On the recent episode of KBS2's 'Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together,' actors Lee Young-ha and Yoon Da-hoon appeared as guests.

Park Won-sook asked Lee Young-ha about his experiences with love and bed scenes with prominent actresses of his time. Lee shared, "I experienced both simultaneous and post-dubbing eras. Before simultaneous recording, actors would just move their lips while voice actors dubbed over. Sometimes, actors did their own dubbing." He continued, "I dubbed my male role, while a voice actress dubbed the female role. On the day of recording a bed scene, I noticed that male actors don't have much to record." Yoon Da-hoon humorously added, "Male actors just need to make wind sounds," eliciting laughter.

Lee Young-ha recounted, "The key was the actresses' moans. While watching the screen, I matched my lips, and the voice actress matched hers. She was doing a great job, but then I noticed she was knitting while making the sounds. It was so funny that I burst into laughter." Park Won-sook and Hye Eun-i couldn't help but laugh as well.

Park Won-sook reminisced about watching movies featuring Kim Ji-mi and being surprised by her husky voice on the radio, which differed from her dubbed movie voice.

Lee Young-ha also filmed a bed scene with Kim Ji-mi, noting, "It was during the simultaneous recording era. Kim Ji-mi didn't seem to realize her voice was husky. During the bed scene, staff members were chuckling." Even Lee Young-ha, a close junior, couldn't help but laugh.

Park Won-sook mentioned the evolution of kiss scenes, prompting Lee Young-ha to demonstrate a kiss scene with her. Despite Lee's enthusiasm, Park couldn't contain her laughter. Lee advised, "You shouldn't be apart," to which Park replied, "It's been a long time since I've been close to a man, so I'm shy."

Lee Young-ha then demonstrated a kiss scene with Yoon Da-hoon as a stand-in actress. Yoon's enthusiastic participation, even wiping his lips, brought more laughter. Lee jokingly asked, "Why are you groping?" Yoon replied, "There are enthusiastic women too."

Born in 1950, Lee Young-ha debuted in the 1977 film 'Moon.' He married actress Sunwoo Eun-sook, ten years his junior, in 1981, but they divorced in 2007. They have two sons.
