On the January 4 broadcast of JTBC’s Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, the 2026 season premiere took place using ingredients from actress Lee Min Jung’s refrigerator, which was filled with delicacies.

Lee Min Jung, who is raising a 10-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter, said that the person who had been waiting the most for her appearance on Please Take Care of My Refrigerator was actually her son.

Lee Min Jung explained, “The reason I decided to appear is actually Ahn Jung Hwan. My family lives in the same neighborhood as Ahn Jung Hwan, but we’ve never run into him even once.”

She continued, “My son Joon Hoo really loves soccer and has played for a long time. He would sometimes wonder, ‘If we’re playing soccer in the neighborhood, wouldn’t Ahn Jung Hwan come down?’” as she spoke about her son, who is a devoted fan of Ahn Jung Hwan.

Lee Min Jung recalled, “Once, my son and his friends decided to shout loudly to call Ahn Jung Hwan. The kids yelled, ‘Please come down and kick the ball with us,’ so I told them, ‘Everyone is resting, so be quiet.’”

In response, Ahn Jung Hwan said, “Actually, Lee Byung Hun asked me to sign something for his son. So I signed a soccer ball, but I haven’t been able to deliver it yet.” Lee Min Jung jokingly replied, “If you leave it in the first-floor garden, we’ll come pick it up.”

Kim Sung Joo then joked, “It seems like you came prepared today,” and Ahn Jung Hwan added, “Yesterday, I actually saw the Please Take Care of My Refrigerator truck for the first time. I saw them collecting the refrigerator. It was my first time seeing it and I thought, ‘This isn’t a lie.’ They really take it away.”

Meanwhile, Lee Min Jung married actor Lee Byung Hun, who is 12 years older than her, in 2013, and the couple has one son and one daughter.
