Actress Lee Jung-hyun Reflects on Mother's Illness and Marriage in Emotional TV Appearance

Actress Lee Jung-hyun, who is married to a doctor, shed tears as she recalled her mother's battle with illness.

On the upcoming episode of KBS 2TV's variety show 'New Release, Pyeonstorang,' airing on the 29th, viewers will get a glimpse into the life of Lee Jung-hyun and her husband as they navigate the ups and downs of their seven-year marriage.

In the episode, Lee Jung-hyun showcases her culinary skills by preparing a variety of dishes using seasonal red snow crab, known for its great taste and value. She not only makes basic dishes like steamed crab but also surprises everyone with a special menu, creating a feast centered around the red snow crab.

The couple reminisces about their dating and early married days. Lee's husband reflects, "It seems like there was never a time without incidents in the first two years of our marriage. Just a month after our wedding, my mother-in-law fell ill." Lee Jung-hyun recalls, "That's why our honeymoon was so sad. I cried throughout our honeymoon." Her mother passed away after a two-year battle with illness.

Lee Jung-hyun shared, "The best thing about getting married was having my husband by my side during tough times. He was a great comfort when my mom was sick. Before she passed, we traveled with her every week. My husband even took time off work to join us. When my mom couldn't walk, he carried her. I am truly grateful," she said, her eyes welling up with tears.

'New Release, Pyeonstorang' airs at 8:30 PM.
