Lee Young-pyo Reveals Saudi Prince's Lavish Lifestyle: Invited for 'Soccer Game' to a Feast?

On the latest episode of KBS 2TV's entertainment show 'Baedal Wasuda' (Delivery Comes), broadcaster Kang Boo-ja and football commentator Lee Young-pyo appeared as guests.

When MC Kim Sook asked about the league that suited him best, Lee Young-pyo chose Saudi Arabia, where he played from 2009. Announcer Jo Woo-jong added, "I recall you received a lot of respect there."

Intrigued, Lee Ja asked, "I have this fantasy that Saudi Arabia has many wealthy club owners. Have you ever been to a prince's house?" Lee Young-pyo confirmed he had.

He recalled, "The club owner at the time was a prince ranked around 20th. One day, a young prince, about twelve or thirteen years old, invited me over to play online soccer games." Initially declining, Lee Young-pyo eventually visited the prince's home after training, feeling apologetic. He shared, "Inside the house, there was a full-sized soccer field, and a buffet was set up just for the prince and me. About seven staff members were on standby," astonishing everyone present.

Lee Young-pyo also mentioned the prince's car license plate, stating he was told it was "a license plate the police couldn't catch." A visual revealed a single-digit license plate, indicating royal status, which garnered significant attention.

Netizens who watched the broadcast reacted with amazement, commenting, "Wow, the scale of the prince's house is incredible," "Commentator Lee Young-pyo was truly recognized overseas," and "I want to play soccer games with a prince too lol."
