Kangnam and Kian84 build secret comic book room in Lee Sang-hwa's home

Former speed skater Lee Sang-hwa was caught off guard when Kian84 emerged from a secret comic book room built by her husband, Kangnam, in a video released on the 'Neighborhood Friend Kangnami' YouTube channel on the 10th.

Former national speed skater Lee Sang-hwa was caught in a secret operation orchestrated by her husband, Kangnam, and webtoon artist Kian84. The two men devised an extraordinary plan to set up a comic book room inside her home without her permission. Upon discovering Kian84 emerging from the newly created space, a bewildered Lee Sang-hwa asked, "Why is this oppa coming out of our house?" However, she later elicited laughter by suggesting that if the room were restored to its original state, she would just do it again.

A video released on the YouTube channel 'Neighborhood Friend Kangnami' on the 10th captured the process of Kangnam and Kian84 building the comic book room behind Lee Sang-hwa's back. Seeking his own personal space, Kangnam teamed up with Kian84 to establish this secret hideout within the house. The challenge was that they had not obtained permission from his wife, Lee Sang-hwa. To complete the room, the duo even devised a meticulous plan to lure Lee Sang-hwa out of the house.

Kangnam revealed a strategy tailored to Lee Sang-hwa's personality when inviting Kian84 to the house. He explained, "I thought Sang-hwa likes Kian84 hyung, so I thought she wouldn't say anything." He planned to use the fact that his wife regards Kian84 as a close older brother to secretly decorate the space. The secret project officially commenced with the preparation of a fake meeting to naturally send Lee Sang-hwa out of the house.

Lee Sang-hwa had previously expressed her friendly feelings toward Kian84 during a prior meeting. She noted that the three of them "meet often" and described Kian84 as being "really like a real older brother." This trust in Kian84, who is her husband's close friend and a comfortable presence to her, served as the decisive background for Kangnam's bold plan.

However, just as the operation seemed successful, an unexpected variable appeared. Upon returning home, Lee Sang-hwa discovered Kian84 in the comic book room while checking her own space. Confronted by Kian84 inside her house, she could not hide her embarrassment, asking, "Why is this oppa coming out of our house?" Her bewildered reaction to finding her husband and his best friend had remodeled the house behind her back provided a moment of humor.

Her subsequent reaction was even more interesting. When asked what she would do if the comic book room were restored to its original state, she replied, "If you restore it, I'll just do it again," drawing laughter. Despite being flustered by her husband's prank, her ability to accept it playfully revealed her characteristic honest and easygoing charm. Although the secret hideout operation was exposed, the episode concluded with an entertaining twist due to her unexpected response.

Lee Sang-hwa is a legendary athlete who reached the top of the world by winning consecutive gold medals in the women's 500m speed skating at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. After retiring from professional skating in 2019, she married singer and entertainer Kangnam in the same year. While she showed an overwhelming competitive spirit on the ice, she now displays a different charm in daily life, reacting with laughter and bewilderment to her husband's pranks.
