Ayane, the Japanese wife of singer and musical actor Lee Ji-hoon, expressed her gratitude toward her husband.

On the 16th, Ayane posted a lengthy message on her personal account: "These days, as I become pregnant, my body feels heavier and my energy declines, so I rely more on my husband and family for help. But today, I suddenly had this thought: Just as I am struggling, those helping me must have been struggling too. Even after finishing busy schedules, he stays by my side and takes care of things I cannot do. I think I was only focused on my own hardships and failed to fully appreciate his struggles."

She continued, "There is no rule that when one spouse is having a hard day, the other must be fine. In fact, without knowing why, when one side is struggling, the other often struggles too. This can lead to arguments due to heightened sensitivity. I've always believed that in marriage, partners should share each other's burdens. Even if their combined weight doubles, they shouldn't bear it alone but instead support, encourage, and praise one another, enduring that doubled weight together. The relationship I desire is one where we don't just say, 'Are you the only one struggling? I'm struggling too!!!' but rather empathize with each other by saying, 'You had a hard time? Actually, I did too.' And through enduring those difficult moments together, we can help each other feel that even those tough times held value for us."

Ayane added, "These days, everything my husband does feels even more grateful. At one point, I wondered, 'Is this all I can do to help when things are tough?' Recently, I visited the set where my husband was filming and saw him working so hard, drawing on every bit of energy he had for hours of continuous shooting. I thought, 'I should have just said a few encouraging words,' or 'I could have made him a snack.' Even in his unseen struggles, my husband silently and steadily fulfilled his role as the head of the household. I felt both sorry for him and proud of him."

She further shared, "Through my husband, I realized that it's not just about 'obvious help,' but about someone who willingly stands by me even when things are tough. Many people have commented on our home, asking how we could live in the same building as his family. But living here every day, I feel this: We are not just 'people living in a good house,' but 'people who have received so much blessing.' We have loving family members who move for each other even during hard times, and everyone has the heart to not take that for granted but to be grateful. Just having that is enough for me to live with great blessings. God, full of wisdom, who gifted me my perfect husband and his wonderful family! So today, I am also grateful. To those who stay by my side, and to God who allowed me this life."

She also posted a video saying, "On the morning of the filming day, he took care of Luhee, and from afternoon onward, he filmed for a very long time. The next day, since he couldn't return home due to an early morning shoot, I drove one way for an hour just to say a few encouraging words... 'Are you sure this is what you like?' His reaction was really...!!! (Later I heard it was because he was so surprised that it felt great)."

In the video, Lee Ji-hoon was seen looking surprised yet happy upon seeing Ayane visit the filming set.

Meanwhile, Ayane and Lee Ji-hoon married in 2021 and welcomed their first daughter, Luhee, in 2024. She is currently pregnant with their second child.
