[Sports Chosun, Reporter Lee Youna] Actor Kwon Sang-woo revealed some details about his close junior, Lee Yi-kyung’s girlfriend.
On the 20th, Kwon Sang-woo, Lee Yi-kyung, and Hwang Woo-seul-hye, the lead actors of the movie “Hitman 2,” appeared and met Shin Dong-yup on “Jjanhanyong.”
Kwon Sang-woo expressed his sense of familiarity, saying, “I see you so often on YouTube and television.” Shin Dong-yup replied, mentioning Kwon Sang-woo’s wife, Son Tae-young’s YouTube channel, showing mutual familiarity. Shin Dong-yup also expressed a similar closeness to Lee Yi-kyung, who is busy in the entertainment industry.
Shin Dong-yup asked Lee Yi-kyung, “Did you always have that good of a physique?” Lee Yi-kyung, dressed in full costume and makeup, replied, “I just came straight from shooting a drama, so I feel like I’m standing out. I just came wearing the drama’s concept clothes. It’s not natural,” implying he felt awkward in the setting.
Kwon Sang-woo jested, “He’s the busiest guy. I heard he has about 12 billion won in debt,” and added, “This guy never takes a day off. Even with such a busy schedule, he always works out and changes girlfriends with every project,” revealing playful anecdotes.
He continued, “Even came to the Incheon filming site. The funniest part is that we greeted each other on the rooftop of our lodging, and then I just went down and slept,” he joked.
Lee Yi-kyung said, “He just went down after calling me to the filming site.” Shin Dong-yup added, “To give you some alone time, because it’s been so long and because my brother likes you,” demonstrating Lee Yi-kyung’s amiable character despite Kwon Sang-woo’s playful revelation.
Kwon Sang-woo, who publicly mentioned his ex-girlfriend Jung In-sun at last year’s awards ceremony, previously joked, “I thought it was Hollywood,” to which Lee Yi-kyung said, “We met a long time ago and it had been a while,” expressing his pleasant surprise at their reunion.
Lee Yi-kyung reflected on his past relationships, saying, “I wanted to marry every girlfriend I’ve had. I thought I would be married in my 20s. I’m approaching 40, and I didn’t expect not to be married yet. Why haven’t I done it yet?”
On the contrary, Kwon Sang-woo shared his thoughts on marriage, “I got married at 33. I was a bachelor actor loved by fans for about 6 to 7 years and have been married for 17 years. The time I’ve spent as a married man is much longer. When I announced my marriage, many fans felt a lot of loss and turned away, but I think getting married and raising kids at a proper time is a good thing,” expressing his contentment in meeting his wife, Son Tae-young.
Shin Dong-yup recalled Kwon Sang-woo’s marriage, “Back then, show marketers asked how much financial loss he was taking by getting married. It was not easy, but I thought it was incredibly cool,” giving him a thumbs up.
