Having experienced the pain of a broken engagement in the past, Lee Kyung-jin revealed, "(After the broken engagement) I never thought about marriage," adding, "There was no one I could trust around me. Missing the timing made it difficult to get married." She especially confessed that after battling breast cancer, her attitude toward life changed, making the idea of marriage even more distant.

When asked by Park Won-sook, "When was your springtime?" Lee Kyung-jin answered, "When I was cast as the lead during my rookie days full of dreams."

She then revealed a story about wanting to give up acting in the past. Lee Kyung-jin shared that she was hurt when a drama director once told her, "If you become an actress, I'll make your life miserable," but she was able to stand back up thanks to a variety show director's comment that she had "a face to make a living for life."

Lee Kyung-jin also opened up about her family matters. She said, "Since my father passed away last year, I can talk about this," and added, "My mother became a single parent at 35 and raised four daughters. But when I was young, my father suddenly left one morning saying he wanted to have a son."

She continued, "I heard that my father had a son there," but "When I was 26 and at my prime, he came to see me in front of the KBS main building. Seeing him standing there was chilling. I was angry. I asked, 'You had a son, right?' and then said, 'Go live well,' and turned away."
