Lee Junho recently gained massive attention via “The Red Sleeve”, leading to information about his family resurfacing.
On August 10th, a post titled “The entertainment industry x athlete cousin relationship known to only a niche” was posted on the Korean forum “theqoo”.
The post, which describes the family relationship with 2PM Lee Junho and former baseball player slash commentator Kim Seonwoo, has since been drawing a lot of attention.
In particular, earlier around his debut, Lee Junho revealed that Kim Seonwoo is the real son of his aunt, and therefore, his direct cousin.
In response, Kim Seonwoo said that he wanted to invite Lee Junho to a match with his team, and acted as the first pitcher there before he retired.
Netizens are expressing their surprise at this shocking family relationship, and leaving comments as follows:
- This is the first time I heard they were cousins!
- I know both of them, but I never know they are cousins
- Kim Seonwoo is the son of Lee Junho’s aunt?? This is surprising
- What an unexpected identity
- This is just awesome
Kim Seon Woo, who played for Doosan Bears and LG Twins, used to participate in the Korea Baseball Major League, and was dearly loved by baseball fans. With his handsome appearance and outspoken personality, he is now working as a commentator after retirement.
The former baseball player recently appeared on the JTBC entertainment program “Strongest Baseball’ (literal translation).
Meanwhile, Lee Junho debuted under the Kpop boy group 2PM in 2008, before working as an idol-actor with roles in K-dramas like “Twenty”, “Wok of Love”, and “Chief Kim”. Last year, he showed an impressive performance as the male lead of hit MBC series “The Red Sleeve”, and attained huge popularity.
