"Even Lee Byung-hun is postponing his appearance"… Though it has surpassed 250,000, on his wife Lee Min-jung's channel, there was a 'mosaic humiliation.'
Actor Lee Byung-hun left the scene without revealing his face on his wife Lee Min-jung's YouTube channel, drawing laughter from netizens.
The video posted on the 17th on the YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ' depicted Lee Min-jung inviting Yim Siwan to learn about whiskey. The content had been anticipated as 'Yim Siwan grants appearances' even before the upload, and Lee Byung-hun made a surprise appearance in the video.
However, the 'appearance' was limited to just his shoulders and voice. Lee Byung-hun did not reveal his face throughout the screen and only showcased his presence from behind. The opening line ended with a simple, “Hello, this is Lee Byung-hun.” At the end of the video, he left bitterly with his face completely processed in a mosaic, eliciting laughter.
The reason was simple. Earlier, Lee Min-jung had made a promise stating, “If the channel subscriber count exceeds 500,000, Mr. Lee Byung-hun will make an appearance revealing his face.” This video was a commemoration of surpassing 250,000, and Lee Byung-hun was postponed due to failing to meet the appearance conditions.
In response, netizens reacted joyfully, saying, “Even Lee Byung-hun is postponing his appearance on YouTubeㅋㅋ,” “Zzanbro showed his face entirely on YouTube, but it's a mosaic humiliation on his wife’s channel,” “Is he managing himself ahead of the release of Squid Game 3?” and “Let’s subscribe to the channel to see Lee Byung-hun's face when it reaches 500,000.”
Particularly, Lee Byung-hun had previously shown his face gladly on past YouTube channels like 'Zzanbro,' revealing his down-to-earth charm, making this 'mosaic humiliation on his wife's channel' even more eye-catching. As to whether the couple of Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung can achieve 500,000 subscribers and finally have their first YouTube 'two-shot,' fan interest is steadily growing.
Meanwhile, Lee Byung-hun is set to unveil the highly anticipated global project 'Squid Game Season 3' in the upcoming second half of the year. It is scheduled to be released on June 27 through Netflix.
