Yang Dong-geun confessed that his father was suffering from dementia.
MBC's 'Save Me!' aired on the 30th. Yang Dong-geun appeared as a guest on 'Homes' and went on a 'return to the village' with announcer Kim Dae-ho in Cheorwon.
Yang Dong-geun is said to have served in the military in Cheorwon. Yang Dong-geun recalled his time in the military, saying, "Hip-hop is life, so it melts the time of life as it is. That's why the song I made in this neighborhood is 'Tanti'." I was happy to find the White Bone Unit mark at a military store on the street.
Two people visiting one house. When Kim Dae-ho saw the green gate, he was reminded of Yang Dong-geun's film 'Do Your Own Way.' A drama that was so popular that people even called it a 'bad person'. Yang Dong-geun, who played the role of Go Bok-soo, a pickpocket criminal who was diagnosed with a terminal illness, was proud when he remembered the scene where he eats lettuce wraps with his father, saying, "This is a scene that people will consider even after I die."
Kim Dae-ho asked Yang Dong-geun, “If you were to leave one last cut of your life, what cut would you want to leave behind?” Yang Dong-geun replied, "I have already decided on the portrait photo. Usually, portrait photos are looking forward, but mine is looking upward. I have made a lot of efforts to get out of the frame my whole life." He continued, "Yang Dong-geun is constantly defined by the person in the camera frame. I am not that person. No matter what person I meet, I am defined by the image in the frame. That's why I like (my image) looking outside the frame. “He said.
Kim Dae-ho asked, “Is there a scene that is most memorable to you as an actor?” Yang Dong-geun chose the scene in ‘Do Your Way’ where he cries after his father passes away. It is said that he was 24 years old at the time of filming. Yang Dong-geun said, "There is a slight overlap between the feelings I have for my father (Go Bok-su's) expressed there and the feelings I have these days when I see my real father. My father is my old father, so it is difficult to talk to him. I don't have many memories. I don't remember sharing more than one word. “Not much,” he confessed. He then confessed, “I’m doing it to make you cry. My father has dementia.” He then expressed bitterness, saying, "When I got older and understood my father, he had gone backwards (in time). I couldn't ask him. I couldn't ask him, 'What is life and what should I do?'"
Yang Dong-geun shed tears, saying, "Actually, it was only after I got dementia that I talked to her for the first time, things that I couldn't say when I didn't have dementia. I told her that she went through a lot of hardship raising three children."
When asked about the work he would like his children to see, Yang Dong-geun chose the scene in 'Moving' where he took flight. Yang Dong-geun said, "Three children saw it at the filming site. It was their dream to be a flying character since they were 6 years old. I hope that people will remember my father while watching that scene at an age when they think about what their father dreamed of in life."
