‘Divorced Single Entertainer’ Lee Sangmin has finally found a partner! On April 30th, Lee Sangmin surprised everyone by revealing on his social media a handwritten letter announcing his upcoming marriage to a non-celebrity younger girlfriend. Fans were filled with astonishment and congratulatory comments in response to this unexpected announcement.
In the letter, Lee Sangmin cautiously expressed, “You must be surprised by this sudden news,” and sincerely conveyed, “I have found someone I love. I want to walk through the second act of my life with her.” Fans have been reacting uniquely to his marriage news, with comments like, “Spring has finally come for Lee Sangmin.”
The wedding is expected to take place around early summer, but the exact date remains undisclosed. SBS confirmed, “The news of his remarriage is true,” and mentioned that “further details will be discussed on the May 11th broadcast of <미운 우리 새끼>.” While his future appearances on broadcasts are still under discussion, positive changes in his image are anticipated following his marriage.
Lee Sangmin was previously married to singer Lee Hye Young in 2004, but they divorced the following year. Given his past statements on various shows about not considering marriage, this recent announcement comes as a greater surprise. Fans are deeply moved by his unexpected turn from being a ‘skeptical about marriage’ entertainer to finding true love. As Lee Sangmin embarks on a real fresh start, fans hope that his ‘genuine happiness’ continues.
