[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Actress Lee Min-jung spoke about the personality differences between her and her husband Lee Byung-hun.


On the 16th, Lee Min-jung appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and showcased her wit.


That day, Lee Min-jung shared an anecdote about her son Jun-hoo being cautious of Lee Byung-hun during the airing of the KBS2 drama 'Once Again.' Lee Min-jung said, "(Jun-hoo) was like, 'Don't look at Dad!' and I explained a lot because I was worried it might confuse his upbringing. You absolutely can't cause confusion. I even took him to the studio once," she said.


In response, Yoo Jae-suk empathized, saying, "That can especially happen with dramas," and Jo Se-ho also made people laugh by saying, "When I was on 'We Got Married' before, my nephews were young and really thought their uncle had gotten married."

Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung also pointed out the advantages of being an actor couple. She said, "When I was a rookie, I had an obsession that if there was a script, I absolutely shouldn't revise or express it differently," adding, "Since my husband is also an actor, he often tells me, 'If you think there's a better emotion, adding or ad-libbing is actors adding more flesh to it, not just expressing the script as it is.'"


She continued, "Actually, the person who can understand best is someone doing the same job," and "Having a senior I can ask questions to is good from my perspective."


Lee Min-jung also praised her husband Lee Byung-hun, saying, "When we're together, he often uses a slightly higher pitch rather than a low tone. But I tend to act impulsively and then forget. I don't hold much stress. When I go 'Aaaah!' it's over," adding, "Oppa is the type who takes the hits and endures. He matches my words. He's surprisingly very kind and gentle."


She said, "My mom and dad told me, 'Min-jung, tone down your temper.' When all the elders are around, I release everything by saying 'Oppa!'" and "But after releasing it, he's good at making up. There's nothing bottled up. (On the other hand) he struggles," she said.



Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung married actor Lee Byung-hun, who is 12 years her senior, in August 2013, and they have an 8-year-old son, Jun-hoo.
