Unusually Close or Typical Sibling Behavior? An Actor’s Bond With His Younger Sister Ignites Discussion

Lee Ji Hoon is facing controversy over his very close relationship with his younger sister after revealing intimate details on SBS’s Strong Heart.

The actor shared how he and his sister, five years younger, are so comfortable with each other that he often links arms with her, buckles her seatbelt, and saves her phone number with couple-like contact names. Fans found this unusual for siblings.

Lee also revealed a tender moment when his sister cried after failing the final round to become a flight attendant. He gave her a peck on the cheek while she was sleeping to comfort her.

Hosts on the show were stunned by Lee Ji Hoon’s closeness with his sister and called him an “unrealistic” older brother who shows too much physical affection.

The actor explained that they didn’t start off this close. They bickered a lot growing up and even stopped contact at times. Their bond grew stronger when their mother became seriously ill, and they began leaning on each other as family.

Lee is now preparing for his sister’s wedding to her boyfriend of six years. He plans to cover all the wedding costs and buy her a car as a gift.

Even with all the generosity, Lee admitted he feels jealous of his future brother-in-law because the sister now prioritizes her boyfriend over him.

After sharing these stories, netizens are split. Some say their tight bond justifies the behavior while others find it uncomfortable.

“I could never stand such intimate physical show of affection with my siblings,” the hosts remarked on the show.

Lee Ji Hoon’s family love is raising eyebrows. Fans are watching closely as the debate heats up.
