Singer Lee Sang-soon appeared on MBC FM4U’s “2 O’Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi” on November 21.
Recently, Lee Sang-soon and his wife, singer Lee Hyori, ended their life in Jeju and moved to Seoul. The couple made headlines for purchasing a ₩6 billion house in Pyeongchang-dong with cash.
Lee Sang-soon is also the DJ of MBC radio show “Perfect Day with Lee Sang-soon” in Seoul.
Speaking about his wife’s reaction to his role as a DJ, Lee Sang-soon said: “He was very happy about it. He always said I would be great as a DJ. When Bae Cheol-soo took a vacation from MBC’s “Bae Cheol-soo’s Music Camp”, Hyori and I worked as special DJs. He loved it and thought it suited me.”
Lee Sang-soon often bears the title “Lee Hyori’s husband”. While he doesn’t mind, he has expressed a desire to be seen for who he is. Having to choose between “Lee Hyori’s husband Lee Sang-soon” and “Musician Lee Sang-soon”, he chose the latter.
He said: “It’s not that I hate being called Lee Hyori’s husband. It’s natural: she is much more famous and a superstar than me. I accepted it and it doesn’t bother me. But I was a musician before I met her and I’m still a musician after meeting her. My identity is that of a musician. Being Lee Hyori’s husband is not a career; it’s just part of who I am.”
Lee Sang-soon denied rumors that he came from a wealthy family. When news of his marriage to Lee Hyori spread, speculation emerged that he was the son of a famous rib franchise owner in Busan. Dismissing this, Lee Sang-soon clarified: “This rumor came about because my maternal great-uncle owned a well-known rib restaurant in Busan. Even though I called him “Grandpa,” he wasn’t my biological grandfather: he was my mother’s uncle who helped raise her after her father died early. So their wealth has nothing to do with me.”
He added ironically: “As a kid I loved the ribs every time we visited. Three brothers eating dozens of portions! Even now I can go and eat ribs whenever I want.”
Lee Sang-soon revealed that Lee Hyori monitored his radio show. “While she takes care of the dogs and prepares dinner, she texts me when there’s a funny story or a good song. Sometimes I also read his messages on the air. She seems to like me a lot lately.” He jokingly imagined his life at home, “I imagine her cooking and spending quiet time alone. But honestly, I don’t know for sure. He seems really happy.”
Lee Sang-soon shared his aspirations as a radio host, “I wanted to be the kind of DJ we listened to: a simple one who plays music and shares listeners’ stories. The production team made this happen for me. We only have one external guest per week.”
