Former national speed skating representative Lee Sang-hwa visited her in-laws in Japan alone, without her husband Gangnam.
On the 15th, a video titled "Queen of Support Sang-hwa and I completed a 3-night, 4-day Japan schedule!" was released on the YouTube channel 'Neighborhood Friend Kang Na-mi'.
That day, Gangnam visited Japan with his wife Lee Sang-hwa to provide commentary for the opening ceremony of the KBS broadcast of the "2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games".
Ahead of Gangnam's broadcasting schedule, Lee Sang-hwa took care of her husband by applying makeup to him herself. After Gangnam left to attend to his schedule, Lee Sang-hwa rode the subway alone to head to her in-laws' home.
In particular, Lee Sang-hwa prepared various gifts for her father-in-law, including kimchi, cheonggukjang powder, red ginseng, hangua (traditional Korean sweets), and yakgwa (honey cakes). While moving with the heavy luggage, a situation arose where her paper bag tore.

In response to the production team asking, "Are you giving all of that to your father-in-law?", Lee Sang-hwa replied, "Yes. When my brother has work, I go over to greet him and come back."
She then explained the reason for visiting her in-laws, saying, "We arrived too late yesterday, so we are going now to deliver them."
During this process, Lee Sang-hwa also shared news that her father-in-law had recently been injured. She expressed concern about her father-in-law's health condition, stating, "Your father got hurt. He misstepped while walking. His hip is broken." Afterward, upon arriving at the station near her in-laws' home, Lee Sang-hwa found her way familiarly without even looking at a map.
After meeting her father-in-law and returning, Lee Sang-hwa revealed her sense of pride, saying, "Your father was extremely happy." She then confided, "I felt like I need to study Japanese. I spoke almost only Korean, saying things like, 'I came by subway carrying gifts. Yasuo is not here. I came alone by subway.'"
She added, "But he is really healthier than I expected, so it is a relief," expressing relief after confirming her father-in-law's condition.
Meanwhile, Gangnam and Lee Sang-hwa got married in 2019.
