In the second season of “Problem Child in House,” actress Lee Min-jung candidly shared the behind-the-scenes story of her husband Lee Byung-hun’s popular “Tokyo Dome Smile Dance” video.
During the episode aired on the 29th of KBS2TV’s entertainment show “Problem Child in House” featuring the Friday healing entertainment program “Heart on Wheels,” Lee Min-jung and Kim Jae-won appeared as a convenience store owner and part-time worker, flaunting their real-life chemistry. Particularly, the fact that the age gap between the two is as much as 20 years attracted attention.
The MCs were curious if Lee Min-jung receives advice from her husband Lee Byung-hun. To this, Lee Min-jung said, “He is the type to plan things out ahead, even when he is being funny,” and exposed that it felt like a mix between “Zzanbro” and a scripted conversation, evoking laughter. She continued, “Spontaneity is more interesting, but he approaches entertainment as if it were a talk box.”
The couple’s chemistry in choosing projects was also mentioned. Lee Min-jung said, “I have a popular sense, while he has a professional viewpoint,” and added, “We share and discuss the script. The MCs admired this as a significant advantage of being an actor couple.”
Lee Byung-hun’s recent “Smile Dance” video showcased at a Tokyo Dome event also became a hot topic. Lee Min-jung candidly shared her reaction, saying, “I asked, ‘Why are you dancing while smiling? Isn’t dance supposed to be chic?’” However, it turned out that “the producer directed him to not lose his smile,” she revealed, adding, “He listens very well when it comes to words,” which caused laughs.
Finally, the ‘fateful encounter’ with comedian Song Jin-woo, who parodied Lee Byung-hun, was also mentioned. Lee Min-jung recounted, “I randomly sat next to him at the premiere, and my husband asked, ‘What’s the intention behind the seating arrangement?” adding a bittersweet anecdote. Although serious in acting, Lee Byung-hun boasts a twist of clumsiness offstage. Behind his “Smile” lies a thorough adherence to directions and his wife’s sharp feedback.
