Yunho Declares Marriage to Lee Soo-man in His 20s, Surprising Lee Seo-jin

TVXQ's Yunho has revealed a surprising anecdote about declaring his intention to marry to SM Entertainment's founder, Lee Soo-man, during his twenties, leaving the cast of the SBS variety show 'Manager That's Too Hard on Me – Seo-jin's Manager' in awe.

During the broadcast on the 14th, Yunho recalled his past dating experiences, stating, "I really wanted to get married very early on." He continued, "I directly told the CEO, 'I have someone I like right now. I'm going to get married,'" causing a stir in the studio.

His 'CEO' was none other than Lee Soo-man, the former chief producer of SM Entertainment.

Lee Seo-jin expressed his admiration, saying, "To declare marriage to the company, you must have been deeply passionate about love." Yunho candidly shared his feelings at the time, explaining, "In my twenties, I desperately wanted to protect the person I truly loved."

He then added with a touch of regret, "The CEO told me, 'It's all good, but have children later'... but ultimately, things didn't go as I planned."

Reacting to Yunho's unexpected past, Lee Seo-jin burst into laughter and commented, "Lee Soo-man must have known your passion well. He probably didn't think you'd get married that early due to that passion." He humorously added, "People with that much passion often remain single. Like Kang Dong-won," further amusing the set.

Meanwhile, 'Manager That's Too Hard on Me – Seo-jin's Manager' is a close-up observational talk show where celebrity handlers Lee Seo-jin and Kim Gwang-gyu accompany and care for stars, taking on the role of managers. It airs every Friday at 11:10 PM KST.

Netizens who watched the broadcast reacted with comments like, 'Yunho is truly full of passion!', 'CEO Lee Soo-man must have been taken aback', and 'Declaring marriage in his 20s, he's a true man!', expressing surprise and amusement at his honesty.
