Choi Sun-jeong, a former Miss Chunhyang Pageant contestant, communicated with fans on September 28 by hosting a 'Ask Me Anything' session on her social media. Choi Sun-jeong, the daughter-in-law of actress Sunwoo Eun-sook, shared a story regarding the nickname of her husband Lee Sang-won in response to a fan's question.

One fan asked why Lee Sang-won is called 'Ttung-ttol-man'. Choi Sun-jeong brought laughter by replying that she was puzzled after reading the question as 'Fangirling over Ttung-dol-man'.

Following this, Choi Sun-jeong wrote, "I was the one who was pregnant, but the food cravings came toward him, so there was a time when he hit 0.1 tons. Since it would be too blunt to call him by a direct nickname, as a daughter-in-law, I felt self-conscious about my mother-in-law's gaze, so I tried calling him softly using the 'Ttung-ja' rhyme, and it has come this far."

Choi Sun-jeong married actor Lee Sang-won, the son of actors Lee Young-ha and Sunwoo Eun-sook, in 2018, and the couple has one son and one daughter. According to media reports, Choi Sun-jeong and Lee Sang-won are active as entrepreneurs while also communicating with fans.

When Lee Young-ha appeared on KBS2's 'Let's Live Together', he spoke about his daughter-in-law Choi Sun-jeong, saying, "My motto in life is to laugh a lot, and my daughter-in-law laughs really well. She laughs so much and is so positive that I want to carry her on my back. I have never seen her get angry once."
