Lee Hyori Shares Her Blind Date Story with Lee Sang-soon on 'Mongle Counseling Center'

On the recent episode of SBS Special 'My Heart is Mongle Mongle - Mongle Counseling Center', Lee Hyori shared her blind date story with her husband, Lee Sang-soon.

Airing on the 15th, the show featured the couple supporting the romantic endeavors of young adults with developmental disabilities, referred to as 'Mongle'.

During the episode, Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon conversed with three 'Mongle' individuals, Oh Ji-hyun, Yoo Ji-hoon, and Jung Ji-won, who were experiencing their first blind dates. Lee Hyori asked, "Did you enjoy the blind date?" and revealed, "We also met on a blind date."

When asked if they ever fought, Lee Hyori candidly replied, "Yes, we have." She continued, "Honestly, I wasn't impressed on the day of the blind date. We weren't into each other. We didn't meet for a year after that, but we met again by chance and became a couple. Even if you don't like someone at first, things can change later," she advised from experience.

Oh Ji-hyun expressed curiosity about emotions, asking, "If you fall in love, do you have to love only that person?" Lee Hyori admitted, "You might notice other attractive people," to which Lee Sang-soon humorously responded, "Do you just hold it in?"

Lee Hyori expressed her affection for her husband, saying, "I might think 'that person is really handsome,' but the one who is truly handsome in my eyes and heart is only one person." Oh Ji-hyun commented, "You're a total romantic," showing her excitement.

Regarding 'love', Lee Hyori explained, "It's hard to describe in words. When you lie down to sleep, you keep thinking about them. When you eat something delicious, you wish they could taste it too."

During the second blind date, Jung Ji-won held hands and interlocked fingers with his date while walking through Myeongdong. Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon teased him, saying, "We saw you holding hands and interlocking fingers," to which Jung Ji-won proudly replied, "You told me not to hold hands without asking first, so I asked before holding hands," showcasing his improved dating skills.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyori helped Oh Ji-hyun with styling for her blind date, gifting her a coat and a pink necklace. She said, "I'll give you this necklace. Keep it well. Wearing a pink necklace will make love come true. Please let her have a beautiful love, meet a good man," showing her kind heart.
