During a broadcast of MBC's "Save Me!," actor Lee Sang Yeob publicly disclosed for the first time information regarding the identity and occupation of his wife. The revelation of his wife's identity and occupation caught the attention of both fans and viewers.

The moment marked a rare glimpse into the private life of the popular K-drama actor, who has generally kept his marriage out of the public eye. During the January 8 episode, the show visited Dongyeouido, the heart of Korea's financial district, to explore the country's economic outlook for 2026.

Before the official tour began, the cast shared lighthearted stories about their experiences with stock investing. Lee Sang Yeob confessed, "Investing has never really worked out for me. Prices always seem to drop when I buy and rise when I sell."

Host Jang Dong Min then asked whether Lee's wife worked in the securities field, prompting Lee to reveal details about her career. He explained, "She works in project financing, which is about raising funds for specific projects rather than direct stock trading. She can't trade stocks at all due to the restrictions of her job."

A stock investment expert on the program added context, clarifying the limitations of certain financial roles. The expert explained that while some industry employees can trade stocks with regular reporting, positions with access to sensitive or non-public information are strictly prohibited from stock trading, and sharing such information privately is illegal.

Viewers widely noted Lee Sang Yeob's brief but candid comments. According to Koreaboo, fans praised the actor for offering a rare, personal insight into his life outside of acting.

OSEN says the audience's interest in the celebrity's personal life grew after the episode, as the segment was one of the most discussed.

Although Lee did not discuss any specifics related to his life, the fact that he mentioned his wife's occupation has sparked the public's interest in his family history. Koreaboo has pointed out that segments like this serve to provide fans with a little bit of closeness to an actor or actress who would typically keep their personal lives private.
