Comedian Lee Kyung-sil humorously expressed her strong aversion to the couple Jo Hye-ryun and her husband, describing them as a "perfect match" who operate as a unit in their behavior.

During an appearance on the YouTube channel 'TteunTteun' for the show 'Sisters are Making Excuses,' Lee Kyung-sil was visibly taken aback by the couple's dynamic. Fellow comedian Kim Ji-sun, who was also present, shared her own exasperation with Jo Hye-ryun earlier in the day, complaining about her behavior.

They are a perfect match, gaslighting as a pair.

Lee Kyung-sil's reaction suggested that Jo Hye-ryun and her husband exhibit a similar, perhaps overbearing or manipulative, style. She characterized their pairing as a "perfect match" and specifically used the term "gaslighting" to describe their combined approach, implying they work together to manipulate or deceive others.

The exchange, filled with comedic banter, highlighted the close but perhaps overwhelming relationship between Jo Hye-ryun and her husband, much to the amusement of the audience and the other guests.

As soon as Sunbae Ji-sun got out of the car, she looked so tired and said, 'Hye-ryun unnie is too much.'
