Lee Hye-young rests in grand mansion while battling lung cancer

Actress and painter Lee Hye-young is drawing attention after revealing the interior of her grand mansion, which resembles an art museum. The home, featuring a vast sense of space suitable for hosting art exhibitions and sophisticated interior design, has garnered admiration from fans for reflecting her unique artistic taste and lifestyle.

On the 23rd, Lee posted several photos of her daily life on social media (SNS) with the caption, "Let's go!!!!!!! Aloha, wake up!!! #HyeyeongIsUnstoppable."

In the released photos, Lee is seen enjoying a relaxing break, leaning comfortably against a living room sofa. Even amidst the natural, unadorned atmosphere, the most eye-catching element was not the subject herself, but the interior of the residence.

The photos were taken from a second-floor vantage point looking down. Capturing the high ceilings, the wide-open living room, and the expansive layout, the home boasts an overwhelming scale that evokes a contemporary art museum or a private gallery rather than a typical residential space.

In particular, the artworks placed throughout the interior and the minimal yet sophisticated decor naturally showcase the aesthetic sense of Lee, who is also an active painter. The space drew significant interest for harmoniously blending artistry with practicality rather than relying solely on its massive scale.

Recently, luxury homes have been evolving beyond mere living spaces into environments that reflect an individual's taste, lifestyle, and cultural sensibilities. High ceilings, natural lighting, and open structures designed for displaying art are considered representative design trends for world-class luxury houses, as the concept of a "living gallery"—integrating art into daily life—continues to rise.

Lee, who has been steadily pursuing her work as a painter, appears to have naturally integrated her artistic identity into her home. Her SNS has consistently featured posts of her studio, artworks, and interior decor, demonstrating her exceptional aesthetic sense.

Lee remarried Bu Jae-hoon, the vice chairman of MBK Partners, one of Korea's leading private equity firms, in 2011. Bu serves as a core executive at MBK Partners, a company known as one of the largest private equity managers in Korea, managing approximately 27 trillion won in assets.

Active as both an actress and a painter, Lee consistently shares her daily life and artistic endeavors through broadcasts, YouTube, and SNS. The home revealed this time is garnering interest as a space that transcends a simple luxury residence, serving as a reflection of the artistic tastes and life philosophy she has cultivated over time.
