Lee Min-jung reveals her 'heavy drinker' side, having consumed 12 bottles of wine alone

Actress Lee Min-jung revealed her extraordinary alcohol tolerance and wine expertise. On the 21st, a video titled "Wine Lover MJ and Hanhae's Summer White Wine Recommendations" was released on the YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ'. Rapper and entertainer Hanhae appeared as a guest to review white wines that are perfect for enjoying in the summer alongside Lee Min-jung.

While introducing Hanhae, Lee Min-jung revealed that their meeting was prompted by a recommendation from her husband, Lee Byung-hun. She explained that the meeting was made possible thanks to her husband's advice, saying, "My husband told me, 'There is someone who knows their wine quite well,' so I looked up Hanhae's channel videos." In response, Hanhae lightened the mood by introducing himself as "Korea's first grape wine rapper."

"I thought it was 9 bottles, but 12?" Lee Min-jung's flustered alcohol tolerance

Lee Min-jung confessed her surprising alcohol tolerance while reminiscing about her previous wine content filming. During a past red wine content session, she admitted, "I really pushed myself and drank nearly 9 bottles." However, when the production crew on site corrected her, stating it was actually 12 bottles, Lee Min-jung was flustered by the unexpected figure. Hanhae was also stunned by the fact that she drank 12 bottles alone. Expressing respect for her tolerance, Hanhae said, "I do wine reviews too, but it's not easy to exceed 10 bottles. That's amazing."

Regarding the excessive drinking, Lee Min-jung burst into laughter, saying, "Thinking about it now, I think I pushed myself too hard. I don't know why I thought about introducing that much wine by myself." In this white wine review, unlike last time, they selected and tasted four types of wine. Lee Min-jung also personally introduced a white wine in the 20,000 won range that she enjoys serving when inviting acquaintances. She first learned about this product as a gift from a friend of Lee Byung-hun, adding, "It's great to drink as an aperitif when many people come over or to pair with salad," and noted that she has consumed about 20 bottles because of its great value. After tasting the wine, Hanhae remarked, "If it shows this level of quality in the 20,000 won range, I can recommend it with confidence."Opening a cork in 20 seconds, 'Wine Gambler' skills

Lee Min-jung's wine skills went beyond just drinking. She surprised the set with her skillful opener manipulation. Lee Min-jung said, "I became famous for opening wine quickly. I can open it in about 20 seconds," and opened the cork in one go. Hanhae marveled at her ability to open the wine in less than 20 seconds. Watching Lee Min-jung's hand movements, Hanhae drew laughter by saying, "Your hands are almost at the level of a professional gambler (Tazza)."

Hanhae shared an anecdote from the past when he asked Lee Min-jung why she was so good at opening wine, and instead of explaining the principle, she simply replied, "Just try opening a lot of them." After finishing all the filming, Lee Min-jung thanked Hanhae, saying, "It was comfortable and informative because you know wine well and explain it well." Hanhae responded, "I felt that you are truly serious about wine. You actually drink it well too." Lee Min-jung married actor Lee Byung-hun in 2013 and has one son and one daughter.
