Lee Min-jung Apologizes for Blurring Husband Lee Byung-hun's Face in YouTube Videos

On July 30, 2025, actress Lee Min-jung (이민정) expressed her regret over blurring her husband Lee Byung-hun's (이병헌) face in her YouTube videos during her first live stream titled 'MJ's Dangerous Live' on her channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ'. Previously, she had promised to feature Lee Byung-hun in a video once her channel surpassed 500,000 subscribers. Although he has made occasional appearances, his face has been blurred, which has amused viewers.

When asked by a netizen how long she would continue to blur Lee Byung-hun's face, Lee Min-jung revealed, "I have nightmares about this. I wake up screaming because I dream that his face is blurred!" She reminisced about her early days on YouTube, recalling how she asked the production team what would be considered a huge success, to which they replied 500,000 subscribers.

During the live stream, she shared that she had spontaneously promised to feature her husband after receiving a call from him while filming. "Honestly, I thought it would never happen. But now we are at around 340,000 subscribers, and with his movie set to release in two months, I feel really sorry for his fans and the film crew for having to blur his face," she admitted.

Lee Min-jung mentioned that the stress has been overwhelming, and her husband told her, "It doesn't make sense to go back on your word. You've blurred my face until now, and now you have to promote my movie too!"

In a moment of sincerity, she stated, "I need to apologize to the public. I am trembling with anxiety and fear. I was wrong." She urged her viewers to spread the word and subscribe, saying, "If you do, I won't have to feel this embarrassed and sorry anymore. So please hit that subscribe button and like!"

Compounding the situation, Lee Byung-hun's upcoming film 'There’s No Way' (어쩔 수가 없다) is set to release on September 30, leaving less than two months for her to fulfill her promise. Despite this, Lee Min-jung noted that her husband believes it is important to keep his word, stating, "He is very conservative and honest. He insists he won't reveal his face until we hit 500,000 subscribers." She once again asked viewers to subscribe to her channel.
