Released on the 29th
Lee Dong-wook "I have a lot of know-how in laundry and cleaning. Even if I get married, I will still do the housework myself."
Actor Lee Dong-wook (41) said that he wants to do housework himself even after marriage.

Lee Dong-wook was interviewed by Ten Asia about the movie 'Single in Seoul' (directed by Park Beom-soo) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 21st.

When asked about the pros and cons of being single, Lee Dong-wook laughed and said, "The biggest advantage is that I can do whatever I want. I eat when I want and sleep when I want." Lee Dong-wook, who likes to watch sports, said he likes being able to watch sports games regardless of time.

"I'm a person who really likes watching sports. I've subscribed to all paid sports channels, and I'm watching major league, MBA, and overseas tennis leagues. I'm not single, but I don't think you'll like it if you watch sports that much. I do it. “The advantage is that you can do whatever you want.”

As for the downside, “I have to be diligent,” he said with a laugh, “If I don’t do it, nothing happens.” “It’s not a disadvantage, but it’s a regret,” Lee Dong-wook said, laughing, adding that he no longer has to cook since he lives alone. “I stopped cooking. At the beginning of my life, I had that dream. I used to cook and do things like that, but I ended up throwing away a lot of ingredients. When I wanted to eat kimchi stew and went to the grocery store, I bought some pork, green onions, and onions, so I could use the ingredients later. “I end up throwing away about half of it. Also, it’s really annoying to wash the dishes after eating them all.”

However, Lee Dong-wook showed his own pride, calling himself the ‘king of housekeeping’. He laughed and said, “I like housekeeping. I am the king of housekeeping.” He added, “My know-how about laundry and cleaning is accumulating.” "This is something I (Jang) Do-yeon said on YouTube. Even if I get married, I want to take care of the housework and housework myself. There are things I have been doing, but if the other person doesn't do the same, I would be a bit concerned. 'Why separate the laundry?' 'Why don't you wash it?' I thought about this too. So I just thought I should do it myself. Cleaning the bathroom is hard, so of course I do it.”

'Single in Seoul' is a well-made, realistic, relatable romance that tells the story of power influencer Young-ho (Lee Dong-wook), who likes to be alone, and publisher editor-in-chief Hyun-jin (Im Soo-jeong), who hates being alone, as they create a book about single life.

It will be released on the 29th.
