Famous 1st Gen Idol Addresses “Poverty Cosplay” Accusations, Says This About His Financial Status
Shinhwa’s Lee Min Woo confessed to a difficult economic situation.
On the most recent episode of KBS2’s “Men Who Do Housework Season 2,” Lee Min Woo revealed his recent status.
That day, Lee Min Woo opened his mouth as if conscious of the controversy in the public of “pretending to be poor.”
To Lee Min Woo, who is about to remarry a Japanese divorced woman, some viewers raised suspicions such as, “No matter how ruined, does it make sense that a member of long-running idol group Shinhwa lives like that,” “No matter how much he was scammed, he’s living in his older sister’s parents’ house, and for the newlywed house there’s no room so the parents sleep in the living room, why did he make such an unreasonable move,” “Don’t the members help him?”
As he got on the bus heading to the airport on the day his fiancée and daughter were coming to Korea, he said, “What I’m worried about is, if my daughter doesn’t match Korean food, what will happen.”
Having lost all his property and even disposed of his car and using public transportation, he continued, “They say you shouldn’t worry about celebrities, but it’s not that I’m pretending to be poor, it’s that I really can’t prepare a newlywed home right now so I’m saving as much as possible. (All living together) is in fact inconvenient,” confessing honestly about living together with his parents.
In the end, on this day, Lee Min Woo, his fiancée, and her daughter moved into Lee Min Woo’s house and combined households.
Meanwhile, Lee Min Woo had personally delivered the news of his marriage to fans through a handwritten letter last July. He said, “Recently, while going through various situations and being mentally tired and exhausted, I spent a lot of time with my family and came to reflect again on the meaning of family. During that time, with a precious person I have known for a long time, we confirmed that our hearts were the same and decided to become one family,” revealing that his fiancée, a Japanese single mother with a 6-year-old daughter, is currently pregnant with his child.
