Actress Lee Min-jung couldn't hide her surprise at her husband Lee Byung-hun's scorching popularity in Venice.

A video titled 'Junhu, Your Mom and Dad Are Going on a Date ㅋㅋ MJ♥BH Holiday Peek' was uploaded to Lee Min-jung's YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ' on the 23rd. The clip showed the couple enjoying a date in Venice, Italy.

When Lee Byung-hun remarked, "It's already over 100 Euros," Lee Min-jung playfully recalled a pact she'd made. "Recognizing you? I told oppa that if people recognized you while you were out without a mask, I'd give them 10 Euros each," she explained with a laugh, urging him, "Put your mask back on!"

Lee Min-jung teased that Lee Byung-hun seemed to be intentionally heading to crowded places, saying, "Ah, trying to make money now." She added, "It's really amazing how they recognize you even with sunglasses on," marveling at his enduring fame. As a foreign fan approached them on the street, Lee Min-jung expressed regret, "I think I made a bad pact. I'm getting nervous."

Upon hearing that more fans continued to appear, Lee Min-jung exclaimed with a sense of defeat, "The money is just piling up. I'll have to buy oppa new shoes. I shouldn't have opened my mouth like that, now I'm losing money. I didn't expect to lose 400,000 won."

Lee Min-jung debuted in 2004 with the KBS drama 'Reaching for the Stars' and has since established herself as a queen of romantic comedies. She is also known for her exceptional fashion sense and recently connects with fans through her YouTube channel. She continues her active broadcasting career after marrying Lee Byung-hun.
