In a rare and hilarious gesture, Lee Byung Hun has officially dropped the infamous face blur filter to celebrate a major milestone for his wife Lee Min Jung’s YouTube channel, MJ. On December 15th, a short video titled “A congratulatory video from abroad (non-AI)” was uploaded, delighting fans.
Previously, Lee Min Jung promised to keep her husband’s face blurred in all of her videos until she reached 500,000 subscribers. Staying true to his promise, Lee Byung Hun had remained pixelated in previous appearances, adding a quirky charm that viewers liked.
In the newly released video, Lee Byung Hun greeted fans with a cheeky introduction before finally revealing his face, saying: “Now that the blur is gone, I’m here with full hair and makeup.” He went on to share warm wishes for the continued success of MJ YouTube, adding, “I hope MJ YouTube continues to bring joy to many people. Battler!”
The moment sparked a flurry of reactions online. Fans commented, “It’s finally here!” AND “I miss the blurriness now,” with others jokingly threatening to do so “sign up again now that the blurriness is gone.”
Lee Min Jung, reflecting on the journey, thanked subscribers for their support over the past eight months. He humbly shared, “Our PDs said it would be great if we hit 500,000 by the end of the year, and we actually did. Thank you so much!”
Regarding the “blurred revelation,” Lee Min Jung noted that despite his promise, Lee Byung Hun’s portrait rights took precedence. “We agreed that he could decide when to reveal his face, and this seemed like the right time,” he explained.
He concluded with a heartfelt message: “Please stay warm this winter, enjoy the holidays, and expect more fun and healing content MJ!”
Lee Min Jung and Lee Byung Hun, married since 2013, are one of Korea’s most beloved celebrity couples, now winning hearts again through lighthearted moments on YouTube.
