• Lee Yi Kyung Reveals His LG CEO Father Tried to Stop Him from Filming a Gay Movie, Offered to Pay for Production Costs Just to End It

    Actor Lee Yi Kyung opened up about how his father, a former high-ranking executive at LG, reacted dramatically when he found out his son was starring in a gay-themed movie.

    On January 20th, a new video on the YouTube channel Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup featured Lee Yi Kyung alongside Hitman 2 co-stars Kwon Sang Woo and Hwang Woo Seul Hye and shared personal stories, including his early acting career.

    Lee Yi Kyung talked about his movie One Night and Two Days, a queer film that revolves around homosexuality, revealing that he filmed it without his father's knowledge.

    "It was a queer movie. It’s about homosexuality, and I filmed it secretly without telling my parents," he explained. "But when they saw the script, it caused chaos in the family".

    He continued, sharing how his father reacted after reading a part of the script that mentioned a sex scene.

    "My parents were shocked and called me while I was filming. My father asked, 'Are you filming a project called One Night and Two Days?' I said yes, and then he said, 'Stop everything and come home. I’ll pay the production costs, just come home quickly'".

    Shin Dong Yeop, Kwon Sang Woo, and Hwang Woo Seul Hye couldn't help but laugh at the situation. "Wow, the family was in chaos," said Shin. Kwon added, "LG wouldn’t allow that!" while Hwang joked, "Father, I’m your adopted son."

    Lee Yi Kyung’s father, Lee Woong Bum, is a former executive at LG Electronics, having served as the president of LG Innotek and the head of LG Chem's Battery Division.

    After retiring from his corporate role in 2017, he became the president of Yeonam University in 2018 and held the position until 2020. In the past, Lee Yi Kyung has also shared how his family opposed his decision to pursue acting.
