The beloved celebrity couple Lee Byung Hun and Lee Min Jung continue to charm fans with their relatable, and often hilarious, married life.

On March 24, actor Lee Byung Hun appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel Zzanbro, where he spoke candidly with hosts Shin Dong Yup and Jung Ho Chul about various topics—including his dynamic with wife Lee Min Jung.

Shin Dong Yup brought up a humorous comment Lee Min Jung had left on Lee Byung Hun’s Instagram post promoting the film 'The Match,; which portrays the legendary rivalry between Go masters Cho Hun Hyun and Lee Chang Ho. In her comment, she teased, “Did your actual Go skills improve while filming this movie?”

Laughing, Lee Byung Hun explained, “Min Jung has a real desire to be funny.” Shin Dong Yup added, “There’s a difference between wanting to be funny and actually being funny. When I drink with Byung Hun and Min Jung joins after their kid goes to bed, she’s so funny. You can really feel that comedic ambition.”

Lee Byung Hun then revealed, “When Min Jung leaves a funny comment online, she’ll come home and bring it up right away. She’s really enjoying it now.” When asked about their home life, he joked, “Honestly, I’m always watching her mood.”

Reflecting on their marriage, Lee shared an honest lesson learned over time. “In the early years of our marriage, I didn’t realize for over five years that men and women are fundamentally different,” he said. “When Min Jung would tell me how hard her day was, I thought giving her a solution would help, so I’d try to comfort her by suggesting fixes.”

He recalled a turning point: “One day, I started with, ‘Here’s what I think…’ and she just said, "Bung Hun, just listen!’" So I shut up and listened. And amazingly, her mood completely improved. It took me about five years to realize that’s what she needed. "Now, I just throw in a few supportive sounds here and there.”

Lee Min Jung has also previously mentioned her husband’s comedic side. On the January 2023 broadcast of SBS PowerFM’s 'Cultwo Show,' she shared a story about comedian Moon Se Yoon meeting Lee Byung Hun in a bathroom during an awards show.

Moon Se Yoon recalled, “At the 'Baeksang Arts Awards,' I went to the bathroom and found Lee Byung Hun already in there. I greeted him politely, and he looked at me and said, ‘How unfortunate we meet like this, without even being able to shake hands.’” He added that a year later, the same thing happened again, and Lee Byung Hun came up to him saying, “My hands are all wet, so I can’t shake hands again,” proving his love for a well-timed recurring joke. Moon Se Yoon, a professional comedian himself, admitted to being deeply impressed.

Listening to the story, Lee Min Jung agreed with a laugh, saying, “That’s right. He really does have a desire to be funny.”

From sweet everyday struggles to comedic moments, the couple continues to charm fans with their candid, down-to-earth relationship. 

Lee Byung Hun and Lee Min Jung, who began dating publicly in 2012, tied the knot in 2013. They welcomed their first son in 2015 and recently became parents again with the birth of their daughter in 2023.
