In the broadcast of Heart on Wheels on August 1, the members of the Jeong-siblings were enjoying the beautiful environment of an island village. MC Boom at that time said, “I hear celebrities often date on islands or by the Han River,” which prompted Lee Min Jung to share her secret date story.

Recalling her story, Lee narrated how she once evaded a paparazzi. The actress added that she kept seeing familiar license plates in front of their houses, and those cars would follow her wherever she went. The cast of Heart on Wheels listened to this story with bated breath.

She continued, “I told my oppa (Lee Byung-hun) to make sure to note down his car number. Since it was hard to meet directly, we would sneak meet at a friend's house and use a friend's car to see each other,” recalling the times when even meeting was a mission.

While viewers reacted passionately right after the broadcast, saying, “The two look great together,” “Their love was genuine, and so was their effort,” and “The meeting itself was a drama.”
