Actress Lee Min-jung opened up about her husband Lee Byung-hun's difficulties with technology and their family dynamics during an appearance on KBS2's "Problem Child in House 2" on May 29.
Lee Min-jung revealed that Lee Byung-hun is "technologically challenged," sharing a humorous story from a trip to the U.S.
"When we went on a trip to the U.S., I asked him to find good restaurants and famous attractions. He spent 20 minutes talking to the hotel staff and came back with a stack of printed maps," she said.
She added, "It's not that he doesn't use apps—he can't. I installed a delivery app for him recently, but he hasn't used it once. He seems scared of new technology.
Once, when I ordered delivery from another city, he asked, 'How does delivery work from there to here?' He doesn't use banking apps either, so I have to handle the OTP [one-time password] for him."
Host Kim Sook joked, "Sounds like Lee Min-jung controls all the finances," to which Lee Min-jung laughed and replied, "Not quite."
She explained, "When we're watching a movie on an app and it requires adult verification, he calls me saying, 'It needs adult verification, I need you.' I'm like, 'You're an adult too, why do you need me?' It's because he needs me to input the verification code."
Lee Min-jung also spoke about Lee Byung-hun's viral "gummy smile dance" at Tokyo Dome, which gained attention through a parody by Song Jin-woo.

She said she asked him why he danced so happily when "dancing is supposed to be cool."
He told her the producer instructed him: "'Don't lose your smile.' He's always good at following directions."
On Lee Byung-hun's sense of humor, Lee Min-jung said, "He plans his humor in advance—it's like recycling talk show material.
His advice doesn't always hit the mark. We discuss scripts together; I look at them from a mainstream perspective, while he has a professional viewpoint."
When asked what else Lee Byung-hun is good at, she responded, "He's optimized for acting. And he's great at parenting."
The couple has two children. Lee Min-jung shared that their son Jun-hoo often helps with YouTube content and is a spitting image of his father. "Jun-hoo gives me editing advice.
He once said, 'Videos with me get more views,' and commented, 'You were trying too hard to look pretty in the wedding dress video,' which hurt my pride.But it's true—videos with him get four times more views than those without," she said.
She also expressed affection for their daughter, whom she described as independent and charming.
"She's not clingy with me but showers her dad and brother with smiles and charm. She's irresistible," Lee Min-jung said, adding that their daughter has a special bond with her father.
Lee Min-jung's candid anecdotes gave fans insight into their warm family life and Lee Byung-hun's endearing quirks.
