  • Lee Min-woo and his wife, married for two months, traveled to Penghu Island for their honeymoon.
  • On the island, Lee expressed a strong desire for children, praying at a temple and visiting a fortune teller.
  • Upon returning to their accommodation, a tense conversation arose when his wife brought up moving out, causing Lee to leave abruptly.

Lee Min-woo, a participant on the KBS 2TV show 'Mr. House Husband Season 2,' found himself in a difficult situation during his honeymoon, just two months after his wedding.

The episode, airing on June 13, follows Lee and his wife as they embark on their honeymoon to Penghu Island, Taiwan. Lee, who is eager to start a family, visited the famous Tianhou Temple on Penghu, known for its association with fertility, to pray for a third child. He also visited a local fortune teller, where he received news that reportedly delighted him.

However, upon returning to their lodging, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. Tensions surfaced when Lee's wife first broached the subject of establishing a separate household, a topic that clearly caught Lee off guard. His reaction was one of visible surprise, and he ultimately stormed out of the room, leaving the conversation unresolved.

Lee Min-woo married Lee Ami, a third-generation Korean resident of Japan who is 11 years his junior, in March. She has a 6-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. The couple welcomed their second child, a daughter, in December of the previous year. They are currently sharing their daily lives on 'Mr. House Husband.'
