Actor Lee Jung-seop confessed his painful past due to unwanted marriage in the past.

In MBN 'Special World', which aired on the 30th, 'Actor Lee Jung-seop, the story of praying not to die' was depicted.

Lee Jung-seop, who was loved for his feminine speech, unique character, and unique gentle speech.




Lee Jung-seop, who wanted to shake off the clots in his heart, was able to meet him at a temple in Yangsan, South Gyeongsang Province. Lee Jung-seop, who visited the temple, explained, `I come here because I want to look back on the long years, organize it, and make the rest of my life clearer and cleaner.'

The temple has been visited for a long time when my heart was in a state of turmoil. Lee Jung-seop takes blood pressure medicine, psoriasis prevention medicine, and prostate medicine, according to Lee Jung-seop "As you get older, your frequent urination gets worse."

Lee Jung-seop bought ingredients and prepared dishes for the chief monk himself, saying, `Isn't it food that I'm still a little bit better than others?'




He hosted a TV cooking program under his name and conducted various commercials with 'Cooking Aid'. The Korean restaurant, which has been operated for 27 years, has always been a door-to-door city.

Lee Jung-seop said, `If I were not my grandson, I would have been single. But in the family, he recalled that he was trying to get married from the age of twenty-five.

Then "So I got married for the first time. I got married for the first time, and even though I went on my honeymoon for 4 nights and 5 days, the two of them remained biologically the same. Because we're not animals. I didn't do anything until I got attached to my heart. Since the room is big, I slept with my blanket spread separately."

the first marriage carried out by family compulsion. The only loveless marriage was pain, and they eventually broke up after five months. That led to Lee Jung-seop's extreme thinking.

Lee Jung-seop "The shame, the shock. I wondered why this should happen to me. 'Mom, I'm sorry. I want to join the sangha. 'The mother was so crazy about the temple that she was going to hear that she made it among her young children. The words upset me again, "I couldn't do as I please..."
