Former member of Shinhwa and actor Lee Min-woo, has made the affectionate choice to legally adopt his fiancée's six-year-old daughter, proving his devotion to building a whole family.

As reported by K-ennews on October 11, the KBS 2TV episode of "Mr. House Husband Season 2" reported that the couple started conducting the process of marriage registration. Lee was spotted going to a regional community center with his fiancée and her daughter in order to process official documents.

Staff at the center told Lee that, in the meantime, the staff explained the legal process to Lee. "Currently, the child is your wife's daughter and not Lee Min-woo's," the official explained. "In that case, you will need to go through the adoption process for the child."

The staff further said that once the marriage and the adoption are registered, the family would be listed collectively on a family relation certificate.

Seeking guidance from a professional, Lee interviewed Lee In-chul, an attorney who specializes in family law. Prior to the meeting, Lee disclosed a heartwarming aspect of his home life.

"My daughter has a bit of separation anxiety," he explained, catching everyone off guard. The child eventually consented to stay in the adjacent room following assurances from her mother.

During the consultation, the attorney clarified the distinction of adoption types. "he most definite way to become a family with your daughter is through adoption," he clarified.

"General adoption establishes a new legal relationship between you and the child. Full Adoption, on the other hand, means the legal relationship with the biological father is severed and a new father is recognized."

After much deliberation, Lee Min-woo opted for Full Adoption. According to the Maeil Business Newspaper, the lawyer told him the process entailed the approval of the biological father and inquired if there had been child support or visitation.

In response, Lee's fiancée responded softly, "No." Upon hearing this, the attorney assured her that "there are special instances where Full Adoption can be granted without the consent of the biological father," and he recommended that she have a written statement.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the fiancée started to cry — a moment that had great resonance with viewers who saw her weakness and strength.

Lee Min-woo's bride is a third-generation Korean immigrant in Japan, who has a six-year-old daughter. It has also been confirmed that she is pregnant with her second child with Lee Min-woo, starting a new chapter in their expanding family.
