Lee Chun-hee and Jeon Hye-jin: A Love Story Rekindled on “My Ugly Duckling”
In a recent episode of the SBS variety show “My Ugly Duckling,” which aired on November 24, viewers were treated to a delightful visit from actor Bae Jeong-nam to the home of Lee Chun-hee and his wife, Jeon Hye-jin. The couple has been married for an impressive 14 years and showcased their unique lifestyle while reflecting on their journey together.
A Memorable Meeting
Lee Chun-hee, known for his charming persona, fondly recalled meeting Jeon Hye-jin at a camping site, an experience that has become integral to their love story. He proudly showcased their tent-filled home during the show, exclaiming, “This is our house,” and shared that he has been passionate about camping for the last 15 years.
Enduring Affection
Since tying the knot in 2011, this couple has built a beautiful family together, including a daughter who is now in middle school. When Jeon Hye-jin appeared on the show, Lee Chun-hee immediately demonstrated his affection by offering to cook for her, a gesture reminiscent of their honeymoon phase even after over a decade of marriage. At the time of their marriage, Lee Chun-hee was 32, while Jeon Hye-jin was a youthful 23 and still pursuing her education.
Reflecting on Their Romance
Lee Chun-hee shared candid reflections on their early relationship, mentioning how he reached out to Jeon after their drama concluded. When queried about his feelings during filming, he noted, “I called her ‘Ji-su’ (her character name), but when I saw her again, she wasn’t the Ji-su I knew. She arrived in a new car, and I could see a change.”
Jeon Hye-jin humorously recounted, “I had just bought it, and he asked me if I could pick him up. Honestly, I thought, ‘Who is this guy asking me to pick him up?’”
Taking the Leap
As the conversation deepened, Jeon Hye-jin reminisced about a night spent talking until dawn, prompting her to question the nature of their relationship. When she directly asked Lee Chun-hee, “Do you have feelings for me?” , he replied thoughtfully, “I did, but it didn’t feel like dating yet. I was cautious because I didn’t want to risk ruining our friendship.”
Responding to his hesitancy, Jeon suggested, “Let’s meet up first, and if it doesn’t work out, we can just stay friends.” This led to them officially dating ten months later, culminating in their marriage.
Overcoming Challenges
Reflecting on their relationship, Lee Chun-hee mentioned the skepticism they faced regarding their marriage due to Jeon Hye-jin’s young age and burgeoning career. They even sought marriage counseling early on to navigate these challenges. Nevertheless, Jeon Hye-jin proudly stated, “I have no regrets about my decision,” highlighting the joy their daughter has brought into their lives and how she has already transitioned into middle school.
These personal anecdotes from Lee Chun-hee and Jeon Hye-jin not only provide insight into their enduring love but also resonate with viewers who appreciate genuine relationships.
