Lee Sung Kyung Shares Interesting Nickname on 'Dr. Romantic 3'
One of the few details that Lee Sung Kyung shared with the Allure Korea team is her nickname given by her "Dr. Romantic 3" co-stars. The actress said that her fellow actors named her "bean" because of her character.
According to the actress, it means "holy" and "scripture" in Chinese, and since her parents are both Christians, they chose to name her related to their religion.
"My parents, who have been devout Christians since I was in their womb, wanted to name their child Sung Kyung, whether it was a son or daughter. So, it literally means 'holy scripture' (or 'the Bible')," she shared.
Even Lee Sung Kyung's Instagram handle, heybiblee, is a combination of her name, "Lee," and "bible."
