Broadcaster Lee Sang-min is opening the 'real Act 2' of his life after 20 years. After settling 6.9 billion won in debt from business failures, he revealed the news of his remarriage to a non-celebrity partner and showed a responsible side as a prospective groom.

According to a media report on the 30th, Lee Sang-min is quietly preparing for marriage with his younger non-celebrity partner and plans to hold a wedding in early summer.

Previously, Lee Sang-min married actress and painter Lee Hye-young in 2004 but divorced after one year, and he has lived a single life for a long time. He has been sharing his honest daily life through the SBS variety shows 'Dolsing Four Men' and 'My Little Old Boy,' building a rapport with viewers.

The attention surrounding this marriage news is particularly due to the 6.9 billion won in debt he has recently paid off. Lee Sang-min, who had incurred massive debt due to past business failures, cleared all debts last year, paving the way for his comeback. It was then that he decided on new love and marriage. His responsible choice to no longer burden his future bride stands out.

On that day, Lee Sang-min posted a handwritten letter on his social media, stating that "you might have been surprised by this sudden news" and "I have someone I love very much, and I want to move forward together with her in Act 2 of my life." He added, "She is someone I want to protect through any hardship," without hiding his affection for his future bride.

He also expressed, "Since she is a precious person I found late, I was very cautious," and thanked everyone for their blessings, saying, "I know you might be surprised, but I would appreciate your support." He concluded the letter with a promise to live more responsibly so that he could repay those who continue to support him. This is the reason why his statement regarding 'responsibility' shines even more.

Once burdened by 6.9 billion won in debt, Lee Sang-min has now shed that weight and is taking his first step as a 'responsible prospective groom' wishing to stand by someone's side with a lighter heart. His second act in life is receiving congratulations from everyone.
