On January 16, Lee Hyori appeared on MBC FM4U’s “Perfect Day with Lee Sang Soon” and shared her recent life as a housewife.
During the broadcast, Lee Hyori expressed her happiness at being able to participate, saying: “I usually only listen at home, but it’s nice to be able to participate today. I can control what my husband does by listening to the radio every day at home, so I’m happy. I listen to him with the thought of praying every day to make sure he doesn’t say anything strange.”
When Lee Sang Soon asked her about any changes, Lee Hyori replied, “Lee Sang Soon is always so calm, so there haven’t been many changes. But that’s what I really love about him. There haven’t been any big changes as a DJ either, but I think listeners will like it. If it becomes too familiar, its fresh and pure atmosphere will disappear, so I think that’s good. I believe a little mistake is what makes perfection.
Lee Hyori continued, “It’s been about two months since Lee Sang Soon started DJing, and it’s been about two months since I started cooking for him. My cooking skills have improved. I really respect all Korean housewives. Choosing the menu is difficult. From my point of view, I really want to cook different dishes. He continued, “I also went to Noryangjin Fish Market and bought 40 deodeok fish. I couldn’t manage the portions. I ended up buying 160 fish over three trips, half-drying them, and grilling them for him. He said it felt like eggs would come out of his mouth.
He added, “I realized I was a chef with big hands“, to which Lee Sang Soon replied, “You have big hands and work very quickly, so you prepare a lot of side dishes. I’m fine with just one or two simples.”
Lee Hyori laughed and said: “I always try to prepare an extra side dish, but hearing this reaction, I realized that being a housewife is not physically exhausting, but mentally lonely.”
Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon got married in September 2013. After the wedding, the couple kept their personal life quite private, staying away from the spotlight and the media. Lee Hyori participated less in entertainment activities after marriage. It wasn’t until a few years ago that Lee Hyori started spending more time participating in game shows and some reality television programs.
