'Genius musician' Lee Jang-won's father, who received an Ivy League engineering degree, and mother, who graduated from Yonsei University's College of Music, are revealed for the first time.
SBS' 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereinafter referred to as 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'), which airs on the 3rd, depicts the meeting between Lee Jang-won and Bae Da-hae and their elite parents.
It is known that Lee Jang-won's father is currently serving as the president of UNIST after graduating from Seoul National University and an Ivy League doctoral degree and working as a professor at KAIST for 31 years. It is said that daughter-in-law Bae Da-hae was sweating all the time as she was bombarded with questions by her ultra-elite father-in-law, whose IQ surpasses that of Lee Jang-won, who has an IQ of 150. Interest is focused on what happened at ‘Elite Sea World’.
Lee Jang-won surprised the studio by revealing his extraordinary childhood, saying, “Thanks to my parents, I was able to read English on my own before I turned three.” He also revealed his parents' education method for raising a genius son who graduated early from a science high school and received a master's degree from KAIST. It is said that Lee Jang-won's unexpected study secrets aroused the admiration of the studio. In addition, Lee Hyun, who graduated from the Department of Economics at Ewha Womans University, revealed his parents' secrets to education, and the studio was said to be reminiscent of a 'one-day special lecture'. The study secrets of the parents of elite children Lee Jang-won and Lee Hyeon-i will be revealed through broadcasting.
Lee Jang-won recalls the past when his parents were staunchly opposed to his sudden change of career path to music after concentrating solely on his studies. In particular, Lee Jang-won's mother expressed her sorrow by confessing her heartache over her son's debut as a singer, saying, "It was really difficult at that time." Lee Jang-won of Peppertones, who pursued the path of music despite his parents' opposition, raised curiosity by revealing that he was recognized by his parents 10 years after his debut for some reason.
The story behind Lee Jang-won's Peppertones debut can be seen on 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', which airs at 11:10 pm on this day.
