Rhee Min-jung shares luxury villa vacation with Lee Byung-hun

Actress Rhee Min-jung has shared footage of her family enjoying a private vacation at a massive pool villa alongside her husband, Lee Byung-hun, and their two children. The video drew significant attention as it captured the family playing in the water at a luxury accommodation boasting a massive scale of approximately 285 pyeong and featuring two separate swimming pools.

On the 25th, Rhee released a video on her YouTube channel, 'Rhee Min-jung MJ,' titled 'Staying at an ultra-luxury 285-pyeong pool villa with my family. How to get your money's worth from tens of millions of won.'

In the video, Rhee visited a pool villa known to be one of the largest in Korea with Lee and their two children. With a room area of about 285 pyeong and two swimming pools within a single unit, the scale was on a completely different level compared to typical hotel rooms or pool villas.

An overwhelming sense of space was evident from the moment they entered. High-end interiors and artworks were placed throughout the spacious interior, and the living room and auxiliary spaces were designed on a scale that far exceeded typical family-oriented accommodations.

When the production crew remarked to Rhee, who was touring the space, that she "looks like the owner," she replied without hesitation, "I want to own it," drawing laughter. The scale was so vast that it felt more like a large residential space than a mere vacation rental.

The main living room also boasted considerable size. Rhee remarked, "It's so big that it might be hard to express just how large it is," before standing at the far end of the living room to demonstrate the scale. Rhee, who is 166 cm tall, appeared relatively small within the expansive space.

The advantage of the massive space was not limited to the interior. Various kid-friendly facilities were provided for family travelers. Rhee expressed her satisfaction, saying, "The facilities related to kids are very well-done, making it great for a staycation with children."

The family actively utilized both the interior and the auxiliary facilities. Rhee showed the family traveling across the plaza in an electric car, turning the movement within the accommodation itself into a form of play.

The spatial layout, which considered the "children's movement lines"—a crucial factor for family trips—also caught the eye. In trips with young children, distance, safety, and accessibility to play facilities often dictate the quality of rest; the family spent a relaxing time by having much of this available within the accommodation itself.

The warmest scene unfolded at night. The family enjoyed a midnight swim, and Rhee spent time playing in the water with her daughter, Seo-i. Rather than the flashy facilities of the daytime, the sight of the family laughing together in the quiet night pool remained the central scene of the video.

Lee also showed a smile while watching his wife and daughter enjoying the water. Unlike his image playing intense characters in domestic and international works, he showed the face of an ordinary father when with his family.

Rhee and Lee married in 2013 and have two children. Due to their status as a top star couple, their every move attracts public attention, but through SNS and YouTube, they often reveal an unexpectedly domestic side of their family life.

In particular, Rhee has been broadening her connection with the public by steadily revealing aspects of her life outside of acting, such as cooking and traveling, through her YouTube channel. Lee also draws interest by showing the significant contrast between his professional persona and his role within the family.

The core of this video is not just the overwhelming "285 pyeong" or the ultra-luxury facilities. The family's time—playing with the children, swimming late at night, and laughing together while making the most of the expensive accommodation—is what ultimately defines the video's sentiment.

Ultimately, even a special space like an ultra-luxury pool villa only gains meaning when the family is together. In the overwhelming space where Rhee jokingly said, "I want to own it," the family's choice was unexpectedly simple: playing in the water, moving together, and spending time in the same space until late at night. This is why the family's daily life is remembered more fondly than the flashy facilities.
