After 20 years, broadcaster Lee Sang-min is set to remarry without holding a wedding ceremony, bringing an end to the family feud among the cast of 'My Ugly Duckling.'

On the 30th of last month, news of Lee Sang-min's remarriage was revealed. According to a report from a media outlet, Lee will marry a non-celebrity younger than him this summer. He has secretly prepared for the wedding with his partner, who he has been in a good relationship with, and it is expected that the wedding date will be earlier than that of Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min's wedding in July.

On that day, SBS 'My Ugly Duckling' stated, "It is true that Lee Sang-min is remarrying a non-celebrity partner. The process of Lee Sang-min's remarriage will be revealed in a broadcast on May 11."

With the confirmation of Lee Sang-min's remarriage, he is starting a family again after 20 years. Lee married singer-turned-broadcaster Lee Hye-young in 2004, but they divorced the following year. Lee Hye-young remarried in 2011 and has two daughters, but Lee Sang-min did not remarry and continued to appear in 'My Ugly Duckling,' 'Dolsing Four Men,' and other programs.

Recently, after it was reported that he has paid off a large debt, Lee Sang-min received support and also shared the news of his wedding with a non-celebrity partner, marking a double celebration.

Lee Sang-min expressed, "I have someone in my life whom I love very much. I am planning to move forward together with her in the second act of my life. She is someone who has made me want to protect her through any hardship, and I believe that with her, I can be happy for a lifetime. As she is a precious person I found late, I have been very careful, and that is why it took me time to inform those around me. You may be surprised, but I would really appreciate it if you could celebrate and bless us. I will strive to live each moment more responsibly to repay those who continue to support and encourage me."

It has been confirmed that Lee Sang-min has already completed the marriage registration and started a family. On the 2nd, a representative from Lee Sang-min's side told OSEN, "(Lee Sang-min) registered his marriage with his wife on the 30th."

In particular, it is known that Lee Sang-min will not hold a wedding ceremony. He was initially expected to have a wedding ceremony this summer, but another acquaintance of Lee said through a media outlet, "After incurring a large debt, Lee has worked diligently for over 15 years, managing his debt and living modestly. He feels grateful to the public who supported him during this time. Therefore, he chose to skip the wedding ceremony, which would attract the spotlight, and quietly completed the marriage registration, opting for a small celebration with close friends."

Although it was reported that he would tie the knot before Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min's wedding, Lee Sang-min's decision to quietly register his marriage and hold a small celebration instead has perfectly settled the situation.

Meanwhile, regarding Lee Sang-min's potential departure from 'My Ugly Duckling' and 'Dolsing Four Men' due to the marriage, SBS stated, "There has been no discussion about his future appearances on the programs he is currently involved in."
