Shinhwa member Lee Min-woo found himself facing his mother's anger on the latest episode of KBS2TV's 'My Little Old Boy' (Salim Nam 2) due to his apparent lack of preparation for marriage.

The broadcast on the 13th showed Lee Min-woo's fiancée, Ami Lee, arriving in Korea with her daughter, Mijang. Ami Lee, who is seven months pregnant and due in December, was warmly welcomed by Lee Min-woo's parents.

Lee Min-woo's mother prepared an elaborate Korean feast, including dishes like braised ribs, grilled croaker, seaweed soup, and japchae, showcasing generous hospitality. Ami Lee, accustomed to smaller portions in Japanese home cooking, was visibly delighted by the abundant spread. Her daughter, Mijang, also charmed her grandparents, enthusiastically trying various Korean dishes, eliciting cheers from the studio.

However, some dishes, including spicy or raw food, posed a challenge for Ami Lee, who is pregnant. When spicy marinated crabs were offered, Lee Min-woo intervened, explaining to his parents that such items might be difficult for a pregnant woman.

Ami Lee expressed gratitude for the thoughtful preparations, especially the bedding the mother-in-law personally prepared for her and the baby. She also shared a touching moment, allowing her mother-in-law to feel the baby's kicks.

Despite the warm family atmosphere, Lee Min-woo's mother grew increasingly frustrated upon discovering his lack of readiness for their marital home. With the workshop and even the closet unorganized, Ami Lee and Mijang had nowhere immediate to unpack their belongings.

"You need to buy a drying rack starting tomorrow!" Lee Min-woo's mother exclaimed, her anger palpable at the unprepared state of the home. Eun Ji-won, a close friend, also chided Lee Min-woo, saying, "You really shouldn't be doing this." Ami Lee, seeking to mediate, suggested to Lee Min-woo that physical activity is beneficial for childbirth and asked him to relay this to his mother.

Lee Min-woo debuted as a member of the group Shinhwa in 1998 and has enjoyed a long and successful career as a top-tier artist. He has also achieved success as a solo singer and is recognized for his songwriting and producing talents. Recently, he has been garnering attention from fans by sharing his daily life and wedding preparations through variety shows.
