In the video clip of the YouTube channel 『Lee Min-jung Life Briefing』 released on the 9th, Lee Min-jung recalled her school days with actors Lee So-yeon and Wang Bit-na. Lee Min-jung, who drew so much attention that boys were waiting in front of the school at the time, said, `When I was in the first or second year of high school, people with business cards from SM visited me two or three times", he confessed in surprise.
But there was strong opposition from my father. Lee Min-jung explained the reason for rejecting the offer at the time, saying, `I hope my father decides after he becomes an adult.' Then "Dad has been working in the advertising industry for a long time and has seen a lot of people in the entertainment industry. So he didn't recommend working in the entertainment industry, saying, `It's a problem if it goes well, it's a problem if it doesn't go well.' He added, "Even now, he always tells us to be careful."
Lee Min-jung also told the story of her adolescence, when she had a complex about her appearance. When he was in elementary school, he liked college students, and they looked at me and teased me, saying I looked like a monkey and I looked like a Chromagnon. I was shocked and thought I was ugly"He confessed. "I lost weight and took off my glasses when I was in the second year of middle school, and I got out of my appearance complex," he said.
In the end, Lee Min-jung, who delayed her debut amid her father's dissuasion and her anxiety, started her career as an actor on the theater stage after entering college. Having gained popularity through his works, including "Boys Over Flowers", he now maintains a firm position as an actor.
