Lee Do-hyun revealed that he moved his family out of the house they lived in for 20 years.
The tvN entertainment show 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 22nd, featured a special 'lucky happy enjoy' and featured pianist Seong-jin Cho, actor Do-hyun Lee, and Ji-sun Lee, a professor at the Department of Social Welfare at Ewha Womans University.
Netflix's 'The Glory' starring Do-Hyun Lee is garnering worldwide attention. When asked if there were dozens of scripts coming in, Lee Do-hyun was dumbfounded and said, “There are a lot of scripts coming in.”
MC Yoo Jae-seok asked, “How did you feel when you first received the casting offer?” Lee Do-hyun confessed, “I wondered if I could do writer Kim Eun-sook’s work.” Then, during a meeting with writer Kim Eun-sook, she said, "The writer said it was better to fail with my work than to go somewhere else and fail. It was a time when I had a lot of worries, but he helped me solve them a lot. He boosted my confidence a lot. So he even talked to my mom on the phone. “As we were talking about family, I found out that he was the same age as my mom.”
Lee Do-hyun admired his co-star Song Hye-kyo, saying, "Even though I didn't have to do anything, she gave me a good acting and created a good scene. It's amazing."
Lee Do-hyun is said to have played the role of Gaeul, thinking that his dog Gaeul was Moon Dong-eun (played by Song Hye-kyo). He made people laugh by saying, “Ga-eul keeps ‘hehehe’. Here I am saying my lines.”
Lee Do-hyun also re-enacted the famous scene from ‘The Glory’ with MC Jo Se-ho. Lee Do-hyun tried to immerse himself in the scene, saying to Jo Se-ho, "Brother, you have to kiss me this time. Please come in." After reenacting the heartbreaking kiss scene, Jo Se-ho hugged and said, “Thank you.” Lee Do-hyun touched his lips, saying, “I touched it slightly?”
Lee Do-hyun, who is in his 7th year as an actor, is said to have played basketball during his school days. When Yoo Jae-seok said, "I think he must have been popular," Lee Do-hyun responded, "I got his number once when I was in high school." He then remembered, "I had never been in a relationship before. I contacted him because I was pushed back. The relationship didn't start. Maybe when we met, he wasn't attractive to me."
Lee Do-hyun, who changed his career as an actor, is said to have persuaded his mother over his father's opposition. Lee Do-hyun said, "I failed the honors exam. There wasn't even a school where I got accepted in the first round. I re-applied while working part-time. Then, I went on to school."
Lee Do-hyun, who entered the Department of Theater and Film at Chung-Ang University, was famous for being the representative of the department and for being good at basketball. He said, "When I was a college student, my classmates must have hated me. I had to be scolded by my seniors for overrepresenting myself. After holding it all in, I burst out and gathered in the classroom and told my classmates. I hit the blackboard hard with my fist. I thought that if I looked scared, they would listen to me. I thought the blackboard was going to fall, but I hit it really hard, but it didn't fall. My hand hurt so much. If I turned around right away, it felt strange and I turned around. My female classmates said, 'I don't like this kind of harsh atmosphere,'" he said, embarrassed. Yoo Jae-seok said, “And then after doing something, I’m like, ‘Pick up the blackboard?’ When asked, “Isn’t that right?” Lee Do-hyun laughed and said, “Even in ‘The Glory,’ there was a scene where he cried out when he hit the steering wheel in a car. The kids said, ‘You hit it like hitting a blackboard.’ I thought you had forgotten, but I guess (the memory) was big for your friends.” He continued, "I like to act like that. My real name is Donghyun, but my nickname is 'Kkapdong,' which is called 'Kkapdong Donghyun.'"
Lee Do-hyun also worked with IU in tvN's 'Hotel Del Luna'. Lee Do-hyun is said to have asked IU for a lot of advice during filming. He said, "I asked my sister a lot. She always gave me a lot of encouraging words. One of the best things she told me was, 'Just set your mindset and say that you will succeed in just one scene. Acting will come naturally only when you let go of your mind.' “It will be a safe and comfortable place,” he said, expressing his gratitude.
At last year's awards ceremony, Lee Do-hyun mentioned her developmentally disabled younger brother during her acceptance speech. Lee Do-hyun said, "When I think of my younger brother, I get emotional a lot. My younger brother doesn't have any friends, so my parents have to take care of him. I should have been his friend, but I couldn't do that with the excuse of filming. I plan to play with him a lot after filming is over. "he said. He continued, "My younger brother is pure and can't lie. That's why I feel like my skin is coming off when I'm with him." When Lee Do-hyun said, “What’s disappointing is that the wallpaper on my phone is a girl group,” the MCs said, “That can’t be helped,” making everyone laugh.
Lee Do-hyun is said to have taken a family photo as his first part-time job. He said, "If you watch a drama, isn't there something big? I wanted to do that. I paid 700,000 won and hung up a large, medium, and small size. There's something else I want to do for you. I want to hold a wedding again in the future. Let's go on a trip just for the two of us." “I want to give it to you,” he said.
Lee Do-hyun said he moved for his family last year. He said, “I lived there for 20 years and I finally got out of that house.” It is said that the mother shed tears. Lee Do-hyun said, “It’s the first time I’ve seen such a bright and smiling face.” He then smiled and said, “It’s still a charter.”
When asked how the house they moved into was like, Lee Do-hyun expressed his joy, saying, "It was strange because it suddenly got bigger. But I liked that the windows were bigger. There is good ventilation. My mom doesn't have a hard time. My face has opened up a bit. The wrinkles have smoothed out."
