Lee Hye Young further revealed details of how this match made-in-Gangnam happened!
I set up the blind date when I first started filming for Divorced Singles. The two seemed they would get along, so I set it up. Seeing how the two then went on to get married and have a child together felt like flowers blooming in my heart. I want to continue setting up future families.
