Actress Lee Ui-jung publicly revealed her 9-year-younger boyfriend for the first time on air and shared a heartwarming love story.
Lee Ui-jung disclosed her boyfriend, Jang Su-ho, with whom she has been in a relationship for 6 years, during the MBN show 'Exclusive World' aired on the 12th. Born in 1984 and a former judo player, Jang Su-ho connected with Lee Ui-jung when he was a fan of hers at age 18 and courageously confessed his feelings six years ago, leading to their romantic relationship.
Jang Su-ho honestly shared, 'As we went to the gym together, had meals, and spent time together, at some point, I started to see her as a woman. I didn’t care about the age difference since she looks youthful.' In response, Lee Ui-jung expressed, 'He feels more like an older brother to me. He is better than family. He positively accepts whatever I do. I am very grateful. No one else does that for me.'
Lee Ui-jung, who is experiencing aftereffects of a past battle with a brain tumor, shared, 'I can’t have children due to avascular necrosis. They say there is a genetic possibility too. I can’t pass my illness onto my kids. I feel immense sorrow thinking that I am the only one unable to have a normal marriage and childbirth like everyone else.'
However, Jang Su-ho conveyed his unwavering love for Lee Ui-jung, saying, 'What’s more important to me than having children is that you are not sick and healthy. Although my parents may wish for that, it cannot happen in reality, so we can’t help it. Let go of the burden. I agreed to this too.'
At the end of the broadcast, Jang Su-ho confessed in a letter to Lee Ui-jung, '22 years ago, I was happy just to see the lightning hair sister again after all these years. Honey, you’ve been through a lot, haven’t you? Let’s walk together toward the dream only we envision.'
Lee Ui-jung shed tears of emotion, stating, 'My boyfriend is my yew tree. He provides shade for me, allowing me to take a break.'
