On SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny,' Lee Sang-min mentioned his debt.

On that day's broadcast, Lee Sang-min, Lee Bong-won, and Kim Byung-hyun appeared together. Lee Sang-min told Lee Bong-won and Kim Byung-hyun, "From what I see, your situations aren't severe. They're soft." He then added, "The real problem is the time it takes to rebuild after failure. It took me 20 years."

Kim Sook said about Lee Sang-min's debt, "Not to rank it, but the revealed amount is 6.9 billion won." In response, Lee Sang-min explained, "6.9 billion won was the starting amount. Since I seemed to be earning well, the creditors said, 'We need to get a bit more.'" Kim Gu-ra also added, "There were rumors I owed 1.7 billion won, but it's more than that."
