World star Lee Byung-hun made a 'hot presence' on Jimmy Fallon's show… Did wife Lee Min-jung face the 'mosaic exit' humiliation on YouTube?
Actor Lee Byung-hun received global attention by appearing solo on the American NBC flagship talk show 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' while his wife Lee Min-jung's channel brought laughter with the humiliation of being on hold.
On the 18th (Korea time), Lee Byung-hun will personally share behind-the-scenes stories about the third season of the Netflix global hit 'Squid Game' on Jimmy Fallon's show. The grants made ahead of the global launch of season three highlighted the symbolism of being the 'Frontman' and reaffirmed the status of world star Lee Byung-hun.
In the broadcast, Lee Byung-hun cheerfully shared everything from filming episodes to global reactions. With his fluent English and unique sense of humor, he perfectly synced with Jimmy Fallon. In particular, during the 'Squid Game OX Quiz' segment with Jimmy Fallon, he cleverly responded to a question about the possibility of a 'Frontman' spinoff, making the scene a sea of laughter.
Lee Byung-hun also shared behind-the-scenes photos from the broadcast, engaging with fans. He posted selfies with Jimmy Fallon and director Hwang Dong-hyuk on his social media, along with behind-the-scenes shots taken in the waiting room, showcasing the poise of a world-class actor.
However, just the day before, a humorous twist was revealed when a video was released in Korea. In a surprise appearance on actor Lee Min-jung's YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ,' Lee Byung-hun was depicted exiting with his face mosaiced. The video released on the 17th included Lee Min-jung learning whiskey with actor Yim Siwan, where Lee Byung-hun made a brief appearance but was unrecognizable except for his shoulders and voice.
The reason is simple. Earlier, Lee Min-jung promised, 'If we surpass 500,000 subscribers, Lee Byung-hun will appear with his face revealed.' This video celebrated the milestone of surpassing 250,000 subscribers, and due to failing to meet the conditions, Lee Byung-hun endured the humiliation of being 'on hold.' The end of the video even featured a scene of him exiting entirely mosaiced, causing fans to burst into laughter.
In particular, Lee Byung-hun has previously shown his down-to-earth charm by revealing his face on YouTube shows like 'Zzanbro,' making this 'wife's channel mosaic humiliation' stand out even more. Internet users reacted wittily, saying, 'The world acknowledged him, but only the wife's channel is on hold,' and 'Real appearances are made by subscribers.' Expectations are building to see if Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung's first 'two-shot' on YouTube will materialize when the channel reaches 500,000 subscribers.
Meanwhile, Lee Byung-hun will shine as the 'Frontman' in the Netflix series 'Squid Game Season 3,' which will be released worldwide simultaneously on June 27.
