Singer Kangnam revealed that his mother was strongly opposed to his marriage to Lee Sang-hwa.
On the 3rd, a video titled "Please protect the peace of the family. Kangnam's reading from his NamuWiki, which only Sang-hwa needs to know" was uploaded to the channel 'Neighborhood Friend Kangnami.'
That day, Kangnam hosted a live broadcast where he took time to read the contents recorded on his wiki page. He read, "Kangnam's parents initially opposed his marriage to Lee Sang-hwa. However, the reason was not that they didn't like Lee Sang-hwa, but rather that they questioned why such an outstanding person as Lee Sang-hwa would want to marry someone like their son, even digging into their son's dark history to strongly dissuade the marriage. His mother, Kwon Myung-sook, read the section that said, '___.'
In response, Kangnam recalled the situation, noting, "But my mom really did genuinely try to stop the marriage," and told Lee Sang-hwa, "It will be tough. You will be tormented continuously. She is not an ordinary person. She eats a lot."
Meanwhile, in the chat room, a correct answer appeared: "Sang-hwa is a national treasure, but why my son XX?" and Kangnam nodded, saying, "That's right. My mom did say that."
Afterwards, when Kangnam saw the section stating, "Since the marriage, I have been trapped by Lee Sang-hwa," he strongly affirmed, saying, "Yes." He emphasized, "Let me read this again, everyone. Since the marriage, I have been trapped by Lee Sang-hwa? Yes," which elicited laughter.
Kangnam commented on the section stating, "I am receiving exercise management and diet management, but since I have a strong craving for food, videos of me secretly eating ramen have been uploaded to YouTube. One night, I was caught grilling pork belly, and when Lee Sang-hwa got genuinely angry, I ultimately decided to stop making those secret eating videos," saying, "Honestly, I know this, but I didn't go out for a few months after eating pork belly. (Lee Sang-hwa) was really angry, and it took a month to edit. Today is a live broadcast, so I can say whatever I want; no one can stop me. Eating secretly from Sang-hwa is something I'm risking my life for."
The production team pointed out, "This is a bit different; saying you decided to stop doing it means..." and Kangnam replied, "I was going to stop, but an advertisement came in. I shot the advertisement, and when I said it was an advertisement, Lee Sang-hwa didn't get angry. So, I thought, what if I lied and tried it once? So, I tasted strawberries. Since I said it was an advertisement, she didn’t get angry. Later, I found out it wasn't an advertisement, and then she got really angry. When she got really mad, I was like, 'What? Why are you so mad?' and I asked, 'Should I do it again?' which made it worse."
He said, "I just had an omakase, and I had a course meal. Please look forward to what will come next. I will prepare something bigger," grinding his teeth and adding, "Please leave comments. Let’s become one. What should we eat next? We are one?" which further engaged the audience.
Meanwhile, Kangnam married Lee Sang-hwa, a former national speed skating representative, in 2019.
