Lee Sang-min to Remarry After 20 Years: Non-Celebrity Bride Revealed

Singer and popular South Korean entertainer Lee Sang-min is reportedly preparing to remarry — two decades after his first marriage.

According to a report by Xports News on April 30, Lee Sang-min is set to tie the knot with his girlfriend, a non-celebrity who is younger than him. The report states that the couple have been in a stable relationship and have decided to become husband and wife, preparing for a low-key wedding ceremony.

The wedding is said to be scheduled for early summer, reportedly before the July wedding of comedians Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min.

As of now, Lee Sang-min’s agency has not released an official statement in response to the report.

Lee was previously married to actress Lee Hye-young in 2004, but the couple divorced a year later. If confirmed, this would mark Lee Sang-min’s remarriage after 20 years, symbolizing a fresh start and new chapter in his personal life.
