Actor Lee Beom-soo spoke candidly about his life since his divorce.
On April 5, SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy' aired a preview that showed Lee living alone.
In a closing segment, Lee appears at home by himself, drawing viewers' attention. Cameras caught him visibly flustered while handling routine banking tasks—he struggled to make a transfer on his phone and was shown exchanging a 50,000 KRW bill (approximately $37.50) for 1,000 KRW notes (about $0.75 each) to pay for parking.
Most notably, Lee addressed his personal life directly. He said, \"As many of you know, I've been dealing with private family matters for the past two to three years. They were sad, painful and, frankly, embarrassing, and I didn't even want to turn on the TV.\"
He added, \"I became completely alone. It was really hard,\" admitting how difficult the period had been.
Lee remarried interpreter Lee Yoon-jin in 2010; the couple have a son and a daughter. After split rumors surfaced in December 2023, they entered divorce proceedings. In February, his agency said the legal process was finalized by mutual agreement.
Viewers and industry observers are now watching for Lee Beom-soo's first on-air update and what he does next.
