1. Lee Sang-min, finally remarries… Who is the other person?

On the SBS show 'My Little Old Boy' aired on May 11, 2025, Lee Sang-min revealed that he had completed the official registration of his marriage.


There was no separate wedding ceremony, it was a 'quiet remarriage' where they only registered their marriage.

The other person is a regular office worker who is 10 years younger than her. They met last year outside of a broadcast and decided to get married after dating for 3 months.

Mr. Lee Sang-min described his wife as “an angel from heaven.”

2. Is your relationship with the crab girl over?

Many people may have wondered, “Isn’t that girlfriend a ‘big girl’?”

It appears that Lee Sang-min's current remarried partner is not a woman from Daegeon, but another ordinary woman.

'Daegenyeo' is the last girlfriend from 10 years ago that Lee Sang-min often mentioned on past broadcasts.
This is someone that Lee Sang-min truly loved so much that he would buy her crabs even when she was struggling financially.

But unfortunately, they broke up due to a misunderstanding, and he even said on a broadcast, “I regret not being able to keep her.”

3. What was the reaction of his ex-wife, Lee Hye-young?

Ms. Lee Hye-young is the ex-wife of Mr. Lee Sang-min, who married him in 2004 and divorced him a year later.
They had no children and went their separate ways afterwards.

In a YouTube video from 2023, Lee Hye-young said of Lee Sang-min, “I hope they build a happy family.”
I sent a warm message. Thanks to your sincere support, Lee Sang-min was finally able to start a new life!

4. Skip the wedding… We plan to move into our new home in June!

What was impressive about this wedding was that they decided not to have a wedding ceremony.

Even though his wife is a civilian and this is his first marriage, he said he skipped the wedding due to cost and practical issues.

They say they plan to move into their new home in June when their current lease ends.

5. Lee Sang-min, starting the second act of his life after paying off his debt

Mr. Lee Sang-min, who once struggled with debt exceeding 6.9 billion won.
But last year, he finally paid off all his debts and prepared for a new life.

Looking at the fact that she announced her marriage through a handwritten letter on SNS and said, “I want to spend the rest of my life with this person,”
I feel like I'm truly committed to a new beginning.

Remarriage after 20 years, and warm support…
I hope you can have a truly happy family this time!
Mr. Lee Sang-min, I sincerely congratulate you.
