On the June 6 broadcast of KBS2TV’s Heart on Wheels, Lee Min-jung revealed that the birth of her first son was her happiest moment.
The episode featured a Korean language class held in Yeosam-ri village, Samcheok. Earlier, Lee Min-jung confidently volunteered to be the teacher, boasting, “I got a perfect score in language skills,” drawing attention. Lee Min-jung and Boom served as instructors for the class. They explained connective words, with Boom illustrating “and” through apt examples and dancing, earning enthusiastic responses.
One of the student grandmothers asked Lee Min-jung, “Teacher Min-jung, how many children do you have?” Lee Min-jung replied, “I have two. A 10-year-old son and a 16-month-old daughter,” adding, “The day my son was born was when I felt the happiest,” capturing attention.
During the episode, Lee Min-jung’s eyes welled up as she read a piece written by one of the village’s student grandmothers. She comforted her, saying, “It must be painful not being able to have normal conversations, and seeing someone in pain must hurt your heart too.”
Another student grandmother teared up, sharing her longing for her husband as the first anniversary of his passing approached. Boom also shared a poignant story, saying, “My father passed away in an accident. My wife asked what I’d say if I could meet him. I’d tell him I miss him. I just wish I could see him one more time,” evoking sympathy from those around him.
Lee Min-jung, born in 1982, is known for dramas like Boys Over Flowers (2009) and Please Come Back, Mister (2016). Her marriage to Lee Byung-hun, a global star (Squid Game, G.I. Joe), and their family life often draw public interest. The show, launched in 2025, marks her return to variety, offering a platform to showcase her relatable, down-to-earth side.
