Lee Sang-min gets surprise back hug from twin brother's girlfriend

Comedian twin brothers Lee Sang-ho and Lee Sang-min revealed a ridiculous episode they experienced simply because they are twins. The story involves a hilarious mishap where the older brother's girlfriend secretly visited the house and, mistaking the younger brother for the older one, gave him a surprise back hug.

On the YouTube channel 'Zzanbro' released on the 17th, twin comedians Lee Sang-ho and Lee Sang-min appeared. During the broadcast, they shared stories ranging from their physical appearances to various episodes that were only possible because they are twins.

Looking at the two, Shin Dong-yup mentioned a way to tell them apart. He joked, "Sang-min's skin looks slightly more weathered," adding, "He must have gone through a lot. Just like Roo'ra's Sang-min has gone through a lot," drawing laughter from the audience.

The older brother, Sang-ho, also teased his younger brother, saying, "He couldn't get married because he's ugly," continuing the unrestrained banter unique to twin brothers.

In reality, their marital statuses are currently different. Sang-ho married singer Kim Ja-youn in 2023 and started a family, but Sang-min is still single. This difference once created a quite awkward situation between the brothers.

Sang-min confessed an unforgettable misunderstanding regarding his brother's girlfriend. At the time, he did not have a girlfriend, but his brother did, and the brother's girlfriend had visited the house to pull off a surprise event.

He explained the situation, saying, "The girlfriend wanted to surprise my brother, so she came to the house secretly. When she entered by pressing the passcode, I thought, 'Oh, Sang-ho is home.'"

However, the person inside the house was not Sang-ho. The person doing the dishes was the younger twin, Sang-min.

The brother's girlfriend, having not properly confirmed the situation, approached Sang-min thinking he was the older brother and gave him a back hug. From Sang-min's perspective, a completely unexpected situation had unfolded.

He recounted the moment, saying, "My brother's girlfriend gave me a back hug," explaining that the girlfriend, realizing too late that he was not Sang-ho, immediately ran away.

Due to the characteristic of twins sharing genetically identical appearances, there are many instances where they cause confusion among people around them since childhood. However, after becoming adults, individual differences such as speech patterns, facial expressions, and behavioral habits become distinct, allowing family or close acquaintances to generally tell them apart. Nevertheless, it seems it was not easy to distinguish between the twin brothers when one was facing away during an unannounced visit to the house.

This episode is particularly humorous because the progression of the misunderstanding is so dramatic. An event intended to surprise the older brother was mistakenly delivered to the younger brother, and Sang-min, who was simply doing the dishes, found himself thrust into the middle of his brother's romantic life without even knowing it.

Ultimately, it was a happening created by their unique family relationship as twins. Through this broadcast, Sang-ho and Sang-min showed the intimate chemistry that only brothers who have lived together for a long time can display, even while teasing each other without hesitation.

While told as a funny story, for the two, being twins was a powerful bond stronger than anyone else's, yet also a variable that created unexpected misunderstandings.
