Lee Byung Hun Apologizes at the Airport Upon Returning to Korea with Lee Min Jung

Oh boy, that kid’s face says it all, doesn’t it? Incheon airport was a frenzy yesterday as A-list but scandal prone actor Lee Byung Hun returned to Korea with his pregnant wifey actress Lee Min Jung in tow. The two have spent the last two months in the US likely to lay low as the legal proceedings wrapped in the blackmail case where Lee Byung Hun was extorted by two young aspiring starlets. Now that Lee Min Jung is about two months away from giving birth the couple have returned to Korea for the remainder of her pregnancy.

The media frenzy at the airport was no joke, which leads me to wonder who told the press beforehand they were coming back that day. The expressions say it all, and not just of the random kid in the picture above staring in “da fuq is this?” shock at the proceedings. Lee Min Jung’s “I don’t give a fuck bitch face” is pretty epic while Lee Byung Hun looked like he hadn’t slept or shaven for a few days, either in severe agony or helping the apology tableau look more authentic, take your pick. After whisking the unamused wifey away to the waiting car, Lee Byung Hun returned to directly address the media and gave his first direct apology to the Korean public for his actions in this entire mess.

Lee Byung Hun’s public apology:

“I am sorry for not giving an apology earlier. As the public figure I have made many people uncomfortable and disappointed.Because all problems started from me, I think I should shoulder all the criticisms myself. I know what part of what happened made people disappointed in me because of my foolishness. So much time has passed since then. I apologize to all who have been hurt by me and I am reflecting on what I have done. I will continue to reflect on what I’ve done. I have a huge debt to my family that cannot be repaid over my life time, and have been reproached for this also. I will use this place to apologize to everyone once again. I am sorry.”

  • LMJ does not look pregnant at all and what's with her wearing 3 inch wedges i her 3rd trimester?
    LBH... sigh.

    • She really doesn't look pregnant. If we commoners are pregnant we can't hide it behind a trench coat and a medium sized purse. And about the shoes I only say I know women who can't walk on flats anymore. Possibly she is one of them or she care more for how to look in public than for the safety.

      • She looks pale, thin, and unhappy. I hope she isn't having a hard time physically, but all of the stress and drama with her feckless, philandering husband must take a mental toll.

    • Same!! My sister is about 7-8 months along, same as LMJ, and she's huge.... like she has a watermelon in her shirt.

      But LMJ is not showing at all.... and isn't it dangerous for pregnant women to fly when they're pregnant and especially that far in their pregnancy??

      • It's fine to fly so long you are not close to due date/labor and mom and baby are healthy. I flew when i was 8 months pregnant but had to get a letter from my OB doctor.

        Obviously LBH notified the press in advance, but why just apologize publicly now, and not a few months ago? His new movie has a hard time getting released in Korea due to his scandal. Hmm cant help but think the apology is to help his career and new movie.

      • Different woman, show differently. The first baby doesn't show as much in general. Some people barely are showing - just depends on the body. So I wouldn't look into that too much.

        I think the recommendation in the US is 32-34 weeks? So there's still like at 7 months.

    • I only gained 20 lbs during my pregnancy but it was mainly because I developed gestational diabetes due to my age (38) at the time and was on a extremely restricted diet by my doctor. I was at my normal weight a week after giving birth and the GD disappeared. I could not have worn those heels tho... my feet and ankles swelled up like crazy.

  • Lee Byung Hyeon is faking it! He obviously chose not shave & everything to make it seem like he's reflecting! If you see their pics from America you can see him all well dressed smiling & clean shaven! He probably didn't realize how much this affected his popularity.. I sorta wonder if he regrets reporting the 2 girls?

  • I can't help but pitying Lee Min Jung for her expressions. Hope she has safe delivery and life gets easier. There's no happiness whatsoever in her face. Everyone has to make choices but every choices come at a price.

  • Well... Does he even know the meaning of the word "Sorry", just makes us wonder if the wifey is staying with him because she got knocked up... I wonder what happened to their wedding rings?

  • LMJ is very thin for someone who is supposed to eat for 1.5 persons. Look at her face and neck. Her belly is so small too! Pregnancy is supposed to be a joyful and miraculous experience, sadly she seems to be too stressful to enjoy her 1st pregnancy. Whether or not LBH was sincere with his apology, at least he showed some remorse emotions unlike that guy who would marry his knocked up gf if she drops the probation/ penalty for the crime he had committed against her.

  • Conspiracy theory: What if she's not pregnant and LBH created the whole 'pregnancy' thing to draw pity and forgiveness from the public? She does not look like she is pregnant at all.
