Lee Young-ae Reveals Morning Routine, “School Prep? I Just Sleep”
Actress Lee Young-ae disclosed her realistic daily life of replacing morning school prep with ‘sleep.’ Known for her dramatic acting, she captivated the public with her candid talk this time.
On the 25th broadcast of SBS PowerFM ‘Kim Young-chul’s PowerFM,’ Lee Young-ae, who is set to return to the stage for the first time in three years with the play Hedda Gabler, appeared as a guest and shared openly about everything from her morning routine to parenting struggles.
“Kids’ School Prep? I Just Sleep”
On that day, Lee Young-ae said, “After sending the kids to school in the morning, I sleep again until 8 or 9 o’clock. I sleep whenever I can, but honestly, I don’t actually sleep well.” When asked if she has breakfast with her children, she candidly revealed, “The kids go to school so early that we can’t eat together. I sometimes help, but mostly the morning helper takes care of it.”
“Sometimes I watch my husband leave, and other times I just sleep,” she added, humorously asking, “Is this too realistic of a story?”
In the Morning, Lunchboxes Instead of Coffee… and to the Practice Room
In response to Kim Young-chul’s comment that “morning coffee and classical music would suit her,” she said, “I used to do that in the past. When I had free time, I listened to classical music and enjoyed coffee. Now I pack lunch and go straight to the practice room,” sharing her daily life of balancing parenting and theater practice.
The candid daily routine revealed by Lee Young-ae, once a symbol of the ‘pure icon,’ was a charm in itself. Immediately after the broadcast, online communities responded with comments like, “Truly a realistic mom,” “Lee Young-ae is just like any other mom,” and “I can relate to her quite a bit.”
