Actor Lee Yun-mi is embroiled in a controversy over civil abuse.

Composer Joo Young-hoon and Lee Yoon-mi went on a trip to Jeju Island with their children. However, Joo Young-hoon complained of severe abdominal pain on the 1st and was taken to a hospital, and was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent surgery.

The problem arose when his wife, Lee Yoo-mi, broadcasted the entire process live on social media.




Lee Yun-mi says "I can't walk because of my bad stomach, so I get very ugly. At this time, he posted a photo of Joo Young-hoon being transported to the emergency room in a 119 ambulance.

Then "Starting at 1 a.m., I left for the emergency room again due to chills and high fever. Again, the guardian," he said, revealing a photo of him moving and himself waiting as a guardian.

Also "Have a good surgery." It's a memorable trip even if you don't do this much. "Our ep3 that we will never forget for the rest of our lives," he said, opening the sign of the consent form for surgery and Joo Young-hoon being carried into the operating room.

After Joo Young-hoon finished his surgery, Lee Yun-mi said, `My husband needs stability today, so while he is hospitalized, his mother goes back to the princesses to take care of what he needs and make good memories for our children. There are many things that happen in life, but each record of today becomes our life. Every day is precious to us, so let's record it like this," he said.

However, netizens responded that it was somewhat difficult to understand Lee Yun-mi's behavior of taking pictures of her husband being taken to the emergency room and undergoing surgery and broadcasting them live on social media. In particular, it was pointed out that 119 paramedics were dispatched because they were taking pictures even though it was an emergency, and that the photos signing the consent form for surgery were taken only when someone was asked to take a picture.

Lee Yun-mi and Joo Young-hoon married in 2006 and have three daughters.
