Actor Lee Jung-hyun gave fans a surprisingly relatable glimpse into celebrity parenting after revealing that fellow actor Lee Min-jung handed down baby clothes from her own children.
The post quickly drew attention online, with many viewers saying the stars’ practical approach to parenting felt refreshingly down-to-earth despite their glamorous public images.
On Friday, Lee Jung-hyun uploaded several photos of baby clothes to social media, writing, “Seo-i passed these down to Seo-woo.” She added, “Thank you, Min-jung,” while tagging Lee Min-jung’s account.
The photos included dresses, outdoor outfits and indoor wear for young girls. The clothing appeared to have belonged to Lee Min-jung’s second daughter, Seo-i, before being passed along to Lee Jung-hyun’s younger daughter, Seo-woo.

Lee Jung-hyun married an orthopedic doctor in 2019. The couple welcomed their first daughter in 2022 and their second in October last year. Lee Min-jung, who is married to actor Lee Byung-hun, has a son and a daughter, including Seo-i, who was born in 2023.
The two actresses are known to be close friends. Lee Min-jung previously sent baby clothes and parenting items to Lee Jung-hyun after the birth of her first child, and the pair have publicly spent time together after their children's births.
Many fans said the friendship resonated because both stars became mothers around the same time and appeared to bond as they navigated being new parents.
The trend of celebrities sharing baby clothes and child care items has quietly become common in Korea’s entertainment industry, reflecting a broader parenting culture shaped by practicality.
