Kim Jong-kook mentioned Lee Dong-gun, who has publicly dated 5 times, causing laughter on 'My Odd Little Brother.'
The SBS variety show 'My Odd Little Brother' aired on the 13th.
On that day, while talking about various topics, it was asked whether Lee Dong-gun's daughter Roa has seen him act. Lee Dong-gun replied, "I haven't shown her yet; she's not at the age to see it," adding, "It's not even my personality to show it." He further mentioned, "Instead, when we go to the kids' cafe and other parents ask to take pictures, Roa says, 'He's not my dad,'" which made everyone laugh.
At that point, it was asked whether Roa has a boyfriend. Lee Dong-gun said, "I can't imagine my daughter dating; since we can't meet every day, I ask every time we do meet." Kim Jong-kook responded, "If Roa resembles her dad, she would reveal it quickly; she wouldn't be the type to hide it," which caused everyone to burst into laughter. Lee Dong-gun cleverly replied, "Then I need to let her know (from experience) that she shouldn't do that." The other guests, watching on the monitor, laughed and asked, "What are you doing?"
Meanwhile, Lee Dong-gun has been involved in dating rumors with several actresses and has acknowledged all of them, expressing his affection naturally. After dating rumors with actress Jo Yoon-hee, who starred in the same drama in 2016, he confirmed their relationship and announced their marriage and pregnancy two months later.
However, in 2020, Lee Dong-gun announced his divorce from Jo Yoon-hee. Lee Dong-gun's father stated regarding his son's frequent public dating that, "Our son makes it public every time he dates. I told him, 'You're a celebrity; why do you make it public instead of hiding it?' He said, 'Making it public is respecting the partner.'" Lee Dong-gun's father added, "In the end, he received the nickname 'Chairman Wang,' didn't he?" and continued, "He claims, 'I was just honest; why am I Chairman Wang?'" which made everyone laugh.
