Actor Lee Chang-hoon will reveal the love story behind his marriage to his wife, who is 17 years his junior.
Lee will appear on TV CHOSUN's "Perfect Life," airing at 8 p.m. on the 21st, alongside his wife.
During a recent recording session, Lee recalled their first meeting, saying, "I dated several women in the past, but I found it difficult to take things as far as marriage. After that, I visualized a specific ideal type and prayed for a partner for one year." He added, "We met through an introduction by Shim Hyeong-tak. Just like a scene from a movie, music started playing and a beautiful woman appeared. That was my wife."
Lee, who was 41 at the time, revealed that he fell in love with his then-24-year-old wife at first sight and immediately asked for her phone number. His wife said, "I thought my husband was around 30 because he is very youthful. Later, when I looked it up, I realized the age gap was quite large," but added, "He is so handsome that I have no regrets," creating a sweet atmosphere.

Lee, who turned 60 this year, opened up about his concerns regarding weight and digestive health. He mentioned that he had gained as much as 94 kilograms by the age of 55, stating, "My digestion was poor, my stomach felt hot and bloated, and it felt like my intestinal health had collapsed." Lee, who subsequently lost 16 kilograms, surprised viewers with dramatically different before-and-after photos.
Lee also shared a recent story about suffering stress from stock investments. When his wife asked during a meal, "Do you still have trouble digesting due to stress these days?" Lee confessed, "I am stressed because of stocks. I originally had no interest in the stock market, but I started investing after hearing others talk about it, and ended up losing everything." The episode airs at 8 p.m. on the 21st.
