K-Drama Actor Sparks Debate with Unusually Close Relationship with Sister: Kiss Her on the Cheek, Jealous with Brother-in-Law?
Actor Lee Ji Hoon recently appeared on “Strong Heart” where he talked about the intimate connection he shares with his younger sister that has left many viewers taken aback.
Lee Ji Hoon’s camaraderie with his sister is so intense that even the show’s hosts couldn’t help but express astonishment, saying, “He’s an unrealistic older brother. I seriously thought they were a married couple.”
Lee Ji Hoon comfortably puts his arm around his sister, buckles her seatbelt, and saves her number in his phone with an affectionate name as if she were his girlfriend. He could even give his sister a peck on her cheek while she was asleep.
Explaining his actions, Lee Ji Hoon said, “My sister tried out to be a flight attendant but got eliminated in the final round. She cried so much until she was completely drained, and that’s when I kissed her on the cheek because I felt so bad for her.”
However, the Lee siblings didn’t always share such a tight-knit bond. Reflecting on the past, Lee Ji Hoon revealed, “We used to bicker a lot when we were kids. But when I hit 20, our mom suddenly fell seriously ill. That’s when we began relying on each other. In the past, my sister and I used to have major disagreements, even cutting off contact at times. But when our mom got sick, we realized that we were the only ones with a blood connection.”
Lee Ji Hoon is preparing for his sister’s wedding to her boyfriend of five years. He mentioned that he plans to cover all the wedding expenses and gift them a car as a wedding gift.
Despite his generosity, the actor confessed to feeling a bit of jealousy towards his future brother-in-law. “My sister used to have dinner with me regularly, but now she doesn’t come anymore. When I suggest, ‘I’m feeling lonely, let’s grab a meal together,’ she tells me she’s with her boyfriend. There were times I waited until 11 p.m. and didn’t receive any calls from her,” shared Lee Ji Hoon.
The actor’s candid revelations have ignited debates online, with most netizens expressing shock at their close bond, claiming it sounds a bit unusual for siblings. Nonetheless, there are also those who argue that the depth of the bond between Lee Ji Hoon and his sister justifies such intimate actions as normal.
Born in 1988, Lee Ji Hoon made his debut in “School 2013,” subsequently becoming a familiar face through series like “The Legend of the Blue Sea” and “River Where the Moon Rises”…
