In the episode aired on January 7, Lee Yo Won appeared as a guest and spoke candidly about her personal life. She revealed that she married at the age of 23 and is now the mother of three children two daughters and one son. Addressing her early marriage, she explained, “I did have my first child quickly. I got pregnant about a month after getting married.” She then clarified to avoid misunderstanding, saying, “I didn’t give birth a month later. I got married in January and gave birth in December.”
Lee Yo Won admitted that she has often faced speculation about a premarital pregnancy. She shared an anecdote involving her eldest daughter, saying, “Even my oldest child told me that her friends asked if she was born because of an ‘accident.’” The actress made it clear that such assumptions were completely untrue.
She also gave an update on her eldest daughter’s current life, revealing that she is now attending university in the United States. Lee added with a laugh, “She’s studying in the U.S. because she couldn’t go to college in Korea. She doesn’t have a boyfriend she’s not the type who can live with someone.”
