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.

Super Junior’s Shindong has opened up about his breakup after three and a half years of dating.

On the April 1 episode of SBS’s Dolsing Fourmen, Super Junior members Shindong and Eunhyuk brought their signature humor while discussing everything from weight loss struggles to dating and even retirement jokes.

During the episode, Tak Jae Hoon jokingly pointed out Shindong’s fluctuating weight, making him laugh. “People always ask me, ‘Are you in the process of gaining or losing weight?’” he said.

Eunhyuk was also asked if he was dieting for Super Junior’s upcoming 20th-anniversary activities. “Even the members don’t know,” he replied. Meanwhile, Shindong shared something unexpected, saying, “This is the first time I’m saying this—I actually quit drinking a week ago. I just started, so I’m not at the stage to talk about it yet.”

Eunhyuk then addressed a past comment where he jokingly promised to retire if his first solo album won first place. “I didn’t expect to win, especially since IVE was my competition,” he admitted. But to his surprise, he did win, leading fellow member Donghae to even hold up a “Retire” sign at the celebration, making everyone laugh.

Shindong also pointed out an interesting fact about Eunhyuk’s win. “Nowadays, idols release digital albums, so their album sales score is zero. But Eunhyuk had high physical album sales, and that one factor pushed him to first place.” Hearing this, Tak Jae Hoon teased, “No excuses—just retire,” to which Eunhyuk laughed, “It was fun while it lasted.”

Later, while joking about idol visuals, Shindong playfully said, “Honestly, Eunhyuk is the ugliest idol I’ve ever seen,” making everyone burst into laughter. Eunhyuk also shared how he was once called anchovy for his slim figure but later earned the nickname muscle anchovy after working out.

The conversation then shifted to Super Junior’s wealthiest member, with Eunhyuk confirming that it’s none other than Choi Siwon. Comedian Kim Jun Ho added, “I once asked Leeteuk for Siwon’s number, and Leeteuk said, ‘Wait, I need to ask him first.’” Shindong explained that Super Junior members are now extra cautious because of past incidents where a fan impersonated someone and leaked their phone numbers.

When it came to dating, Shindong was asked if he had ever revealed or been caught dating. “I got caught every time. I’m just not good at hiding it,” he admitted, making everyone laugh. Eunhyuk agreed, “Yeah, he doesn’t really try to hide it.” Shindong clarified, “I don’t purposely expose it, but I somehow always get caught.”

Then, Shindong unexpectedly dropped some personal news. “Speaking of updates, I actually broke up with my girlfriend last April. Since I didn’t announce it, people kept leaving comments asking if I got divorced.”

Lee Sang Min was surprised, saying, “But last time you were on Dolsing Fourmen, you said you had a girlfriend.” Shindong confirmed, “Yeah, we broke up. We dated for about three and a half years. It was tough, but we decided to support each other’s paths. It was a good breakup.”

Meanwhile, Eunhyuk surprised everyone by revealing that he shares his phone password with his girlfriend, shocking the other cast members.

With Super Junior’s 20th anniversary coming up, fans are excited to see what’s next for the legendary group.
