On August 15, Lee Seung-gi shared a photo on his Instagram story with the caption "8.15 Liberation Day."
The photo shows Lee Seung-gi paying respects at a memorial site, with a Korean flag and a plaque that reads, "This family has been selected as a Military Family of Merit for 2025." The plaque lists names from the first generation to Lee Seung-gi in the third generation, drawing attention.
The Military Family of Merit is a South Korean initiative that honors families with a proud military heritage. It recognizes families where all male members across three generations have completed their mandatory military service, promoting a society that respects those who fulfill their national defense duties.

In April 2023, Lee Seung-gi married actress Lee Da-in, who is five years his junior and the sister of actress Lee Yoo-bi. The couple welcomed a beautiful daughter in February of the previous year.
