On July 8, actress and wife Lee Min-jung posted a new video to her YouTube channel titled “Hanging Out with Gaeko, My Church Oppa Since High School.” During a casual chat with rappers Gaeko and Choiza, all parents themselves, Min-jung gave fans a peek into everyday parenting life with her A-list husband.
Min-jung revealed that her husband is the designated sports day attendee for their son, Jun-hoo. “When it’s sports day, I tell him, ‘Go, oppa. Jun-hoo loves it when you’re there,’” she shared with a smile, highlighting Lee Byung-hun’s commitment to being a present father despite his packed schedule.
Jun-hoo also made headlines in a previous video appearance when asked if his classmates knew his parents were celebrities. His answer? “Everyone knows about my dad. Some know about my mom.” Min-jung responded with a good laugh, quipping, “Guess I need to work harder.”
Fans have seen even more adorable glimpses of Lee Byung-hun in full ‘dad mode’ through Min-jung’s Instagram. The couple, who married in 2013, are parents to Jun-hoo (born 2015) and Seo-yi (born December 2023).
In one viral moment, Min-jung shared a photo of Lee and baby Seo-yi dressed in matching outfits, captioning, “She’s showing signs of being a little wanderer already.” Another fan-favorite post showed Lee in shorts and slippers, holding Seo-yi’s hand during a makeshift walk in their underground parking lot, with the caption, “Seo-yi’s caught the ‘gotta-go-out’ bug… out in her pajamas as soon as she wakes up.”
While Lee Byung-hun gears up for major roles in Squid Game Season 2 and the animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, fans are captivated by his grounded presence at home. Whether he’s cheering at a school event or indulging a toddler’s wanderlust, these moments remind fans that even global icons are, at heart, just parents trying to keep up with their kids.
In an age of celebrity filters, Lee Byung-hun’s candid “dad moments” stand out proving that the role of “Dad” may be his most beloved yet.
