Lee Ji Hoon, a popular actor known for his roles in dramas such as My Love From The Star and Doctor Stranger, has recently sparked debates online for his very close relationship with his younger sister.

The actor appeared on the SBS variety show Strong Heart on Tuesday and shared stories of how he and his sister, who is five years younger than him, are very affectionate and comfortable with each other. He said that he often links arms with her, buckles her seatbelt, and calls her by sweet nicknames on his phone. He also revealed that he once kissed her on the cheek to comfort her after she failed to become a flight attendant.

The show’s hosts and guests were shocked and amused by Lee’s confession, and some even questioned if he was being serious. They said that they could never imagine being so physically intimate with their siblings, and that it seemed more like a romantic relationship than a brother-sister one.

Lee explained that he was not always this close with his sister, and that they used to fight a lot when they were younger. However, their bond strengthened after their mother became terminally ill when he was 20 years old. He said that he and his sister realized that they only had each other as blood relatives after their parents, and that they started to support and care for each other more.

Lee also said that he is preparing for his sister’s wedding, which is scheduled to take place next month. He said that he is very happy for her, but also a bit jealous of her boyfriend, who has been dating her for six years. He humorously said that he feels like he is losing his sister to another man, and that he misses having dinner with her as often as before.

As a wedding gift, Lee said that he plans to pay for all the expenses of the ceremony, and also buy his sister a car. He said that he wants to give her the best wedding possible, and that he hopes that she will be happy with her husband.

Lee’s candid and heartfelt stories of his relationship with his sister have divided netizens’ opinions. Some praised him for being a loving and generous brother, and said that they admired his close bond with his sister. Others criticized him for being too clingy and possessive, and said that he crossed the line of sibling affection.
