Actress Lee Yo-won shared an unprecedented glimpse into her family life on KBS2’s ‘Salrimnam 2,’ marking the shortest public reveal in the show’s 11-season history. The episode, aired on the 28th, featured her daily routines with her husband, 29 years after her debut.
Surprise VCR Footage Captivates Studio
Before the main reveal, a special VCR clip showcased Lee Yo-won’s home life and her husband’s appearance, leaving host Park Se-jin stunned. He questioned, “Is that really your husband? It doesn’t look like it at all,” prompting laughter from the panel.
In the core footage, Lee introduced her 11-year-old youngest son, who strikingly resembles actor Park Bo-gum, along with her second daughter who mirrors her own features. The son, a promising youth basketball player, was gearing up for a tournament the next day. To prepare him, Lee swiftly changed into activewear and pulled out a ‘fierce mom’ banner for the event.
Heartwarming Family Moments
During the clip, a viewer pointed out the production crew’s involvement, leading Lee to defend, “My second daughter is super energetic.” Her first and second children’s playful antics emerged, with the first born in 2003. When asked about the second child’s age, Lee quipped that her mom “doesn’t age,” drawing chuckles.
Entering the home barefoot, Lee checked her son’s laundry, noting, “Even if he’s gone for 30 minutes straight, he comes back in just 3.” Park Se-jin remarked, “The PD must have been shocked,” highlighting her hands-on approach.
Competitive Spirit Shines Through
Lee later searched the house for her misplaced remote, transforming into a frantic figure amid the chaos. Together with her children, she rearranged furniture in the basement and revealed her interior design inside a shared space. Her husband teased about the wife’s changing mood, unable to contain his laughter.
For the next game, Lee donned her son’s 1/2 size uniform as a cheerleader, radiating energy. She challenged the panel, “Isn’t mom too young-looking?” and vented about past MC frustrations, shedding light on her true passion despite the host role.
Emotional Reflections and Bonds
The family dynamics peaked as Lee expressed, “I want to go watch the game, but I can’t.” Panelists like Eun Ji-won and Park Se-jin encouraged her warmly, leading her to tear up over netizen comments. Her competitive drive reached its height in a race against her basketball-pro husband.
Her husband shared candidly, “After sex skiing once, Eun Ji-won became my fan because I grabbed his fear. That’s why he keeps coming out.” Despite playful jabs, their deep bond was evident. The episode highlighted Lee Yo-won’s refreshing authenticity, earning praise from viewers and boosting family admiration.
