Lee Min-young talked about past unjust rumors.
On the 6th, on SBS Plus and E Channel's entertainment show 'Solo because', Lee Min-young reminisced about past incidents while chatting with friends.
After moving in, it was Lee Min-young's first time hosting a gathering for friends, so she prepared some dishes. After making stir-fried octopus, she made steamed beef brisket with bean sprouts. MC Shin Dong-yeop noted, "Normally, we'd order delivery, but there’s a camera here now," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Lee Min-young said, "My friends have cooked for me a lot. This time, I wanted to do well and treat them." Lee Min-young also completed salmon steak with garlic shrimp butter and salad.
Lee Min-young met with her female high school classmates. She said, "Since I’ve known them since childhood, I get along well with their husbands, and we’re all like family." Lee Min-young's friends looked around the house and shared a meal together.
Lee Min-young brought up the topic of the type of man she would like to meet while chatting with her friends. She said, "Since I’m I, I feel grateful when the opposite sex approaches me." Upon seeing this, Hwang Jung-eum said, "No, that won't do," and remarked, "What if a lot of men start hitting on you after seeing this?"
Lee Min-young said, "When I was younger, if someone showed interest in me and tried to like me, it felt nice." She added, "If I like someone, I should express it, but I couldn't. Even if I wasn’t okay with it, I said 'yes, yes.' To guard against that, I didn’t let anyone see me."
One friend worriedly said, "She’s too timid, delicate, and kind." Another friend added, "You need to go out more. You have to meet others out there."
Meanwhile, that day, the friends brought up Lee Min-young's past. Previously, Lee Min-young married actor Lee Chan in 2006, but they faced separation just 12 days after the wedding. She claimed that she was assaulted by Lee Chan, resulting in a miscarriage. Lee Chan denied this but was sentenced to one year in prison with a two-year suspended sentence.
During this time, Lee Min-young suffered from baseless rumors about her personal life. Reflecting on that period, she said, "Not talking about it back then was my mistake," adding, "I thought it would be noisy if I spoke up, so I lived with my mouth shut, and that still pains me today." A friend commented, "If it were now, you would probably talk about it freely, but I wonder why you couldn’t back then."
