Kim Sung-ryung's husband Lee Gi-su shows supportive side for Kim Sung-kyung

Lee Gi-su, the husband of actress Kim Sung-ryung, accompanied his sister-in-law Kim Sung-kyung during a YouTube shoot, showcasing an unexpected 'flex.' Beyond just visiting a Buddhist fair to support his sister-in-law despite their different religions, he personally selected items for her and readily covered the costs, revealing a humble and human side different from what has been shown on broadcast.

Recently, a video titled 'A Christian Brother-in-law at a Buddhist Fair?! The story of emptying his wallet for goods & please participate in the subscriber event^^' was released on Kim Sung-kyung's YouTube channel, 'Sung-kyung Goes to a Temple.' To experience the Buddhist fair, Kim Sung-kyung visited BEXCO in Busan, and during this process, Lee Gi-su appeared once again.

Having appeared in previous videos, Lee Gi-su once again volunteered as his sister-in-law's 'reinforcement.' Even while wearing a microphone somewhat reluctantly, he did not lose his characteristic relaxed expression and smile, responding naturally to the requests of the production crew and Kim Sung-kyung.

In particular, as a Christian, he joked at the Buddhist fair site, saying, "Is it okay for someone who goes to church to act like this?", yet he listened intently to the explanations related to Buddhism. Rather than rigidly accepting religious differences, he showed an attitude of directly experiencing the faith and culture of others.

When Kim Sung-kyung received the contact information for Venerable Sung-jin while discussing Buddhist matters, Lee Gi-su naturally joined the filming. When the production crew joked that he had a "look on his face like he wants to go home," he denied it and continued to help his sister-in-law with her shopping until the end.

During the process of Kim Sung-kyung choosing items to gift to subscribers, the brother-in-law's realistic advice continued. When Kim Sung-kyung tried to pick an item simply because it was pretty, Lee Gi-su insisted on practicality, saying, "You should buy something that is useful."

This moment naturally revealed a tendency to value actual utility over simple consumption. Then, he suddenly made the scene erupt in laughter by asking the production crew, "How much is the camera? I should carry one around too."

By showing interest in the content production equipment rather than just watching the filming, he revealed an unexpected 'producer instinct.'

He responded generously to his sister-in-law's request. When Kim Sung-kyung asked him to buy her an outfit, Lee Gi-su opened his wallet without hesitation. In response, Kim Sung-kyung expressed her gratitude to him by giving a thumbs up with an adorable expression. The relationship between the two in the video showed the comfortable nature unique to a family that has worked together for a long time, going beyond simple in-law relations.

Kim Sung-kyung also mentioned Lee Gi-su's connections in Busan. She stated, "Busan is all his playground. I have never failed to meet someone Lee Gi-su knows in Busan," conveying that he possesses a significant human network in the city. Lee Gi-su has been known through broadcasts as a businessman active in the Busan area with considerable wealth.

This is not the first time Lee Gi-su's appearance has garnered public attention. In a previous video of 'Sung-kyung Goes to a Temple,' he appeared alongside Kim Sung-kyung as she visited a temple. Despite being a Christian with no direct connection to Buddhism, he showed a relatively open attitude by touring the temple and bowing.

At the time, when asked about his thoughts on religion, he replied with the sentiment that "It's all the same, as it's about using a good heart and living uprightly. I think all faiths are good, no matter where you go."

This showed a perspective of finding the essence of religion in one's attitude toward life and ethical practice rather than placing a specific religion above others.

When Kim Sung-kyung said, "It's good to see you attending church diligently," Lee Gi-su drew laughter by retorting, "My wife is Sung-ryung, so how could I not go? And my sister-in-law is Sung-kyung too."

It was a scene that hinted at the intimacy within the family through a pun using the names of his wife Kim Sung-ryung and his sister-in-law Kim Sung-kyung.

Even in a situation where the YouTube production crew suggested investing in the channel, his reaction was pleasant. Lee Gi-su brought laughter by trailing off with the words, "When I'm full of cash."

Regardless of actual investment, his attitude of lightly joking about his wealth and businessman image caught people's attention.

Kim Sung-ryung and Lee Gi-su married in 1996 and have two sons. Even after marriage, Kim Sung-ryung has continued her activities as an actress, building a solid filmography moving between movies and dramas. Especially since she has steadily continued her acting career with the support of her family, Lee Gi-su has long been known to the public as the husband of actress Kim Sung-ryung.

Lee Gi-su's economic background has been introduced on broadcasts several times. In the 2016 tvN program 'The List 2016,' Kim Sung-ryung was mentioned during a segment introducing female stars married to wealthy businessmen. At that time, it was reported that Lee Gi-su owned a large luxury residential complex apartment in Haeundae, Busan, and operated an ice rink within a department store.

However, the assets or business scale introduced on broadcast are based on public data and content from that specific time and should not be taken as his current exact wealth. Nevertheless, his image as a man with a significant business foundation is rooted in these past broadcast appearances.

More than anything, the focus of this video was not the wealth itself, but how he spent it. Rather than flaunting expensive items, the video centered on him helping his sister-in-law choose necessary items and emphasizing practicality. It highlighted his role and relationship within the family rather than his external image as a 'wealthy brother-in-law.'

Kim Sung-kyung also treated Lee Gi-su not as a distant relative, but as a brother-in-law she can comfortably rely on. Accompanying her to a shoot in Busan and visiting a somewhat unfamiliar space like a Buddhist fair to help with shopping and content production demonstrates the deep trust built within the family over time.

Ultimately, Lee Gi-su's 'flex' in this video was different from simple conspicuous consumption. In addition to his existing image of having wide connections in Busan and a strong economic foundation as a businessman, he showed his side as a family member willing to give his time and money to support his sister-in-law's activities. Through the relatively private medium of YouTube, the daily life of the 'Kim Sung-ryung family' revealed a clear and warm familial bond.
