Model Lee Hyun-yi's Husband Hong Sung-ki Transitions from 'S Electronics Dept. Manager to Master's Student', Reveals Work-Study Balance

The recent update on Hong Sung-ki, husband of model Lee Hyun-yi and a department manager at 'S Electronics', who is balancing his studies with work, has become a hot topic.

On the SBS entertainment program 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny', aired on the 3rd, Hong Sung-ki's changed daily routine was revealed alongside Lee Hyun-yi's photoshoot commemorating her 20th anniversary.

On this day, Hong Sung-ki did not go to work as usual, leading Lee Hyun-yi to suspect early retirement. It turned out he was pursuing a master's degree through a company-sponsored program. Hong Sung-ki explained, 'I'm studying while receiving my salary and full tuition support.'

Hong Sung-ki, who was promoted to department manager in March, jokingly mentioned, 'I decided to enroll in the master's program right after my promotion. The company held an event, but my wife didn't react much, which was disappointing.' Lee Hyun-yi laughed, retorting, 'He still talks about how I didn't congratulate him properly back then.'

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-yi also had a photoshoot for her 20th debut anniversary. She shared, 'Looking back at my first photoshoot 20 years ago brings back so many feelings,' and expressed her ambition to capture a veteran-like pictorial with the 'skill and mature depth of a 40-year-old.'

Lee Hyun-yi and Hong Sung-ki married in 2012 and have two sons.

Netizens watching the broadcast responded enthusiastically, with comments like 'Mr. Hong Sung-ki's resume is no joke! Manager and Master's degree too!', 'He looks great with Lee Hyun-yi. I'm envious of a capable husband,' and 'Always enjoy watching Same Bed, Different Dreams. Cheering for you both!'
