Actress Lee Si Young's past remarks about her husband are making waves again after news of their divorce broke out.

On March 17, her agency Ace Factory confirmed to Xports News that Lee Si Young and her husband Jo Seung Hyun have decided to part ways. The two have already started legal proceedings for their divorce after eight years of marriage.

Lee Si Young tied the knot with restaurant entrepreneur Jo Seung Hyun in August 2017 and later welcomed their son, Jung Yoon, in January 2018. While they seemed like a happy family, things have now taken a different turn.

Following the shocking news, netizens have been revisiting Lee Si Young’s past comments about her husband from a 2021 episode of MBC’s variety show The Manager.

At that time, Lee Si Young shared that she used to go on early morning runs with singer Sean and former soccer players Lee Young Pyo and Jo Won Hee.

During the show, Lee Young Ja asked her, "Doesn't your passion for working out cause trouble with your husband?"

Lee Si Young responded, "My ideal type was always someone who could work out with me. Isn't that great?"

However, she then surprised everyone by revealing, "Before we got married, my husband used to run with me every morning. Even at 4 AM, he would come out and run with me. But after we got married, he never ran with me again and said, ‘I just don’t understand you.’”

Her story made the cast burst into laughter, and Jun Hyun Moo joked, "His goal was marriage." Comedian Yang Se Hyung added, "For him, that was just training."

Lee Si Young also shared a funny story about her husband and their son, Jung Yoon.

"My husband plays with Jung Yoon in his own way, but they fight a lot. He gets sulky. For example, when my husband says, ‘Jung Yoon, this looks delicious. Can Daddy have one?’ and then eats it, Jung Yoon gets mad and says, ‘Why did you eat mine?’ Then my husband goes, ‘I bought this with my money.’"

She continued, "Then Jung Yoon insists, ‘No, Mommy bought it!’ and my husband replies, ‘Mommy bought it, but with Daddy’s money. Actually, even this toy was bought by Daddy.’ At that point, I just tell him to stop."

Her playful family stories made everyone laugh at the time, but now, many netizens are looking back at her words in a new light. Some commented, "Did she already feel disconnected from him back then?" while others said, "Marriage really changes people."

As Lee Si Young and Jo Seung Hyun go through their divorce, many are curious about what led to their decision.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
