The actor who plays Park Min Young’s on-screen husband in “Marry My Husband” is receiving a lot of attention from netizens.
Having just aired, Miss Go Marry My Husband quickly became a Korean phenomenon after only 2 premiere episodes. The film marks the spectacular return of Park Min Young after her dating scandal with a fraudulent businessman. Not only Park Min Young shined, but the cast from main to supporting also received special attention from the audience for many days. Notably, actor Lee Yi Kyung plays Park Min Young’s on-screen scoundrel husband, taking over social networks. The actor’s profile surprised the public.
The “golden spoon” young master still worked hard throughout his 10-year career
Lee Yi Kyung was born in 1989 in Cheongju, Korea in a family with no artistic tradition. However, the actor’s family background is not ordinary. Lee Yi Kyung’s biological father is Mr. Lee Ung Beom – former CEO of LG Innotek. This is a company specializing in materials technical services and component development of the world’s second largest corporation LG, providing components to many partners globally.
As a true “golden spoon” young master, Lee Yi Kyung does not rely on family background. He used to work part-time at a comic and DVD rental store to make money to make ends meet. The actor also did not rely on his father’s potential but instead strived to advance his acting career.
Lee Yi Kyung entered the entertainment industry in 2011, when she was only 22 years old. He worked hard in many films with quite impressive roles but failed to make a splash for 10 years. The actor appeared in super hot movies like: “My Love from the Star” and “Descendants of the Sun” but only played a supporting role. And the movies where Lee Yi Kyung plays the main role are not so hot. That’s why his name couldn’t break through for 10 years. However, Lee Yi Kyung was not discouraged and continued to work hard at acting. He came up through his own strength, not relying on his father’s family background and power.
It wasn’t until 2021 that Lee Yi Kyung’s name really shined through the box office masterpiece Yuksao. The image of a humorous, somewhat “arrogant” North Korean soldier has helped Lee Yi Kyung become more famous and receive many film and advertising contracts. He also has more opportunities to show off his desirable body with a “blood-sprayed” six-pack body and sharp face in magazines.
Her personality in real life is very different from the role of the scoundrel husband in the movie, who once turned into a real-life hero who saved people from suicide
In “Marry My Husband”, Lee Yi Kyung takes on the role of Kang Ji Won’s (Park Min Young) scoundrel husband Park Min Hwan. This character is a patriarch, a parasite on his wife, has an affair with Kang Ji Won’s best friend and also wants his wife to die quickly to receive the insurance money. In the end, Park Min Hwan pushed Kang Ji Won down, causing her to die. Lee Yi Kyung fully transformed into the evil role, making the audience overflow with anger.
But in real life, Lee Yi Kyung has an extremely humble and likable personality, even somewhat humorous. He received many friendly and professional compliments from his fellow actors. Even Lee Yi Kyung once turned into a real-life hero, saving the life of a person who intended to commit suicide. It happened late at night on March 19, 2020, a man rushed into the lane at Hannam Bridge with the intention of committing suicide. Luckily, a truck stopped in time, but this man was still screaming and even intended to jump into the river.
Lee Yi Kyung then quickly stopped the car and rushed out to hold this man tightly. He held this person tightly for a long time, took off his coat and put it on him before the police arrived. At that time, everyone on the street was panicking, only Lee Yi Kyung did not hesitate to rush to save the man. The brave action of actress “Marry My Husband” helped save a life.
The actor born in 1989 received a “rain” of praise from the Korean public and media. But when asked, Lee Yi Kyung only replied that he did what he had to do and felt that this was no big deal to mention.
The special friendship with Jin (BTS) and the true love story in real life didn’t work out
Jin (BTS) met Lee Yi Kyung when the male idol was only 18 or 19 years old. At that time, Lee Yi Kyung had just been discharged from the army so she decided to attend an acting school near her home. Here, Park Min Young’s “screen husband” met and quickly became close to BTS’s oldest brother.
The actor said that that day Jin was extremely famous for his handsome appearance and was admired by many girls: “He was very famous for his good looks.” After that, because Lee Yi Kyung studied at Seoul Institute of the Arts and Jin studied at Konkuk University, the two gradually had less contact.
It wasn’t until 2018 that the close friends had a chance to meet again when they attended MAMA together. At this time, even though BTS had become one of the top groups, Jin still missed his old friend and warmly called Lee Yi Kyung over and said hello. By 2019, the two of them had an extremely sweet “flirting” performance on the MAMA stage, making 38,000 fans at the awards ceremony go crazy.
Even though she is perfect, Lee Yi Kyung’s love life has not improved. In April 2018. Lee Yi Kyung and actress Jung In Sun just announced they are dating. The two actors met through acquaintances in 2017 and became lovers. They kept their relationship a secret when they co-starred in the movie Welcome To Waikiki. But after only 2 months of going public, the couple came to the decision to “go their separate ways”.
After that, Lee Yi Kyung was caught up in dating rumors with comedian Lee Guk Joo but it was corrected as just a misunderstanding. Since then, the actor has been completely alone.
