Actress Lee Hui-hyang revealed an anecdote about learning to smoke from her husband.

On the 29th, a video titled "Actress Lee Hui-hyang Episode 2 (Husband who encouraged her return to acting and the beginning of her prime)" was released on the YouTube channel 'Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life'.

On that day, Lee said, "I took about five years off after getting married. A person who was running a theater in Pohang told my husband, 'It would be great if your wife could participate in the regional theater festival.'" She added, "My husband also said, 'Why don't you go try it once.' But I said no, because 'You can't just casually go on stage for a play like that.'"

She continued, "My husband said he would take care of our baby. So I mentioned it at the Pohang Civic Hall. He watched our baby in the front row for three months. As a result, we also received the Presidential Award. My husband said, 'You should become an actress. You can't stay in the provinces,' so we moved up to Seoul."

She also drew attention by mentioning her husband while recalling her time appearing in "Years of Ambition." She said, "When I was offered that role, I actually said no. Looking at the script, I had to smoke and play a woman who works in a bar. I didn't want to show my first-grade child what it looked like when I smoked." She added, "They told me there was no one else but me who could handle that."

She further revealed, "I also learned how to smoke from my husband. He said I had to smoke it properly, otherwise the viewers would curse at me. So I learned by smoking it properly until I collapsed onto the bed."

Meanwhile, Lee Hui-hyang married Kim Doo-jo in 1982. Kim is known for his background as an organized crime member and is 19 years her senior. After their marriage, Kim left his life in organized crime behind and worked as a trot singer, composer, and lyricist. Kim passed away from lung cancer in 2005.
