Broadcaster Lee Sang-min, from the group Rula, has officially announced his remarriage and is reported to have already completed his marriage registration, making him a legal spouse. As Lee Sang-min embarks on a new chapter in life with a quiet marriage registration, public attention is focused on him.
Lee Sang-min cautiously revealed the remarriage fact on his SNS on the 1st, stating, "I have found someone I love very much. I intend to move forward in life’s second chapter with her." He added, "I was so cautious that it took me a while to inform even those around me, and I appreciate your joy and blessings, even though this may have surprised you."
The news of the remarriage was already reported through a media outlet on April 30th, at which time Lee Sang-min had been dating a non-celebrity partner for an extended period and the news of their wedding preparations was revealed. However, it has been confirmed that he completed the marriage registration at a local government office in Seoul on that day, making him a legal spouse. According to one insider, immediately after the marriage registration, Lee Sang-min participated in the recording of an SBS entertainment program and reportedly informed acquaintances of his marriage, receiving congratulations on-site.
They decided to skip the wedding ceremony. An insider noted, "Lee Sang-min has diligently repaid his debt for over 15 years while maintaining a frugal lifestyle," and explained, "Instead of a wedding ceremony with a spotlight on him, he started the second chapter of his life quietly by simply registering his marriage and having a celebration with close friends."
Thus, Lee Sang-min has set up a home again for the first time in about 20 years since his divorce from Lee Hye-young in 2005. His ex-wife, Lee Hye-young, remarried in 2011 and has two daughters.
With news of Lee Sang-min's unexpected remarriage, both congratulations and surprises have flooded social media. One netizen commented, "It seems like you've finally found a good person after all your hardships, and I sincerely congratulate you," while another netizen supported the decision to quietly register the marriage without a wedding ceremony, saying, "That's so characteristic of Lee Sang-min." On the other hand, some netizens reacted with comments like, "There was never any mention of marriage on the show, so this is too sudden" and "What will happen to the concept of 'My Little Old Boy'?"
In fact, interest is growing regarding whether Lee Sang-min will leave the SBS entertainment programs "My Little Old Boy" and "The Return of Superman" following his marriage announcement. In response, SBS stated, "Discussions about future appearances related to currently aired programs have not yet taken place," maintaining a cautious stance.
Lee Sang-min is expected to reveal details regarding his remarriage on the upcoming episode of "My Little Old Boy" airing on May 11th. Following his story of debt controversy and recovery, attention is drawn to how Lee Sang-min will take his first steps into this new chapter of life.
