Actor Lee Joo-seung Introduces His Vietnamese Sister-in-Law for the First Time on 'I Live Alone'

Actor Lee Joo-seung captured viewers' attention on MBC's 'I Live Alone' by introducing his Vietnamese sister-in-law for the first time.

In a preview shown at the end of the broadcast on the 12th, Lee Joo-seung shared details about his brother's marriage to a Vietnamese woman late last year. "My sister-in-law is visiting Korea for the first time," he announced, introducing his new family member. He also revealed that her name translates to 'Autumn' in Korean, adding a unique touch to the introduction.

The Vietnamese sister-in-law impressed with her surprisingly fluent Korean, greeting Lee Joo-seung by saying, "Hello, younger brother-in-law." Her elegant beauty and clear pronunciation immediately drew in the audience. Lee Joo-seung then took his sister-in-law and mother to the Korean Folk Village to experience traditional Korean culture. The two bonded closely, appearing like mother and daughter as they walked arm-in-arm, creating a heartwarming scene.

Lee Joo-seung also took on the role of photographer, capturing precious family moments. When his sister-in-law shyly asked for guidance on posing, she quickly transformed into a natural model, striking professional-like poses and expressions. Lee Joo-seung humorously recounted taking between 500 to 1000 photos, looking exhausted but still smiling.

Other segments of the show featured announcer Kim Dae-ho creating a sandy beach in his yard and dancer Ri Jeong attempting her first driver's license test. The episode achieved a 5.1% viewership rating in the Seoul metropolitan area, topping Friday variety shows, and secured the highest rating of 2.8% for the 2049 demographic among all Friday programs.

Lee Joo-seung made his acting debut in the 2012 film 'The Concubine'. He gained recognition in the independent film scene for his unique acting style before expanding his career into dramas and variety shows. On 'I Live Alone', he showcases a genuine and down-to-earth personality that resonates with viewers.
