The married life of A-list actors Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung has been mostly concealed. However, the actress leaked some parts of it on SBS variety show “My Little Old Boy” on Sunday, allowing a glimpse into the couple's private life.

The actress, appearing as a special host, was dubbed “Mrs. Sunshine” after her husband recently starred in tvN's hit drama “Mr. Sunshine,” about the people who had fought to maintain the Joseon Kingdom's independence.

As she observed the lifestyles of the show's cast, the actress also opened up about her own life.

“My husband and I can fart and burp in front of each other almost any time,” said Lee, showing how comfortable the two are with each other.

She also revealed that she was sad during her honeymoon because her husband ate too quickly, despite her being a slow-eater. She said he finished eating even before she had finished serving. She said Lee Byung-hun slowed down after she told him what she felt.

The actress talked about her son as well.

“My son mostly resembles his father, but his eyes look like mine,” she said. “He calls his father 'Eugene Choi.'” This is the name of a character Lee Byung-hun played on “Mr. Sunshine.”

The actress and the actor married in 2013, and she gave birth to a son in 2015. Lee Byung-hun was embroiled in a cheating scandal with a former girl group member in 2014.

The actress will star in the forthcoming SBS drama “Fate and Fury” with actor Joo Sang-wook and So E-hyun.
