Bae and his wife, Lee Eun Bi, appeared on TV Chosun’s “Joseon’s Lovebirds” in an episode that aired Monday.
Bae recalled their first meeting, saying he had been day drinking with friends for the first time in a while. “We’d gone to about six or seven places, and she came into the restaurant after work to eat,” he said. “Even though I was drunk and we were supposed to be hanging out among ourselves, I kept noticing her.”
Lee said she had liked Bae’s songs as a teenager. “He was sitting behind me, and I kept going back and forth to the bathroom to see his face,” she said.
They later ended up sitting together and said they married after dating for three years.
Bae said his wife’s life has been very different from his. “She reads a paper newspaper,” he said, adding that he now reads about 60 books a year because of her. “I’d never met anyone like her,” he said. “I thought if I married her, my life would get a little smarter, so I decided to get married.”
