Actor Lee Si-eon candidly shared the reason for his departure from 'Home Alone.'
On the 27th, a video titled "Lee Si-eon X Seo In-guk X Tae Won-seok | 'I can't treat my younger brothers well, but I feel attached!' | Home Alone MT, Tae Won-seok and the shaker, mystery box, outdoor karaoke, Seo In-guk's song" was uploaded to the "Naraesik" channel.
On this day, Park Na-rae went on a mountain trip to a valley with actors Lee Si-eon, Seo In-guk, and Tae Won-seok. They shared honest stories while toasting with drinks over dinner, and during that time, Lee Si-eon confessed, "I have lost confidence in acting while doing a lot of variety shows."
Tae Won-seok said, "I originally knew Si-eon hyung as an actor first. I was impressed watching him in 'Ggangcheori.' After seeing his work 'The Good Old Days,' I thought that Lee Si-eon is really good at serious roles," and Lee Si-eon recalled, "Anyway, I was recognized for my acting and really wanted to do variety shows. So I joined 'Home Alone.' Na-rae and I became coworkers. Unintentionally, 'Home Alone' became successful. Na-rae and I got in, and it became the best program in Korea. I was very happy and earned a lot of money."
He continued, "A guest came, which was Lee Sang-yi. When Sang-yi came, Na-rae asked me, 'How is Lee Sang-yi's acting?' and I was at a loss for words. How should I evaluate Sang-yi's acting? What makes me so special? That thought crossed my mind. It's because I've thought a lot about acting myself."
Park Na-rae asked, "But you're much more senior, right?" Lee Si-eon replied, "I was a senior and had acted before, so I was someone overflowing with confidence in acting. But after doing 'Home Alone' and winning the excellence award and starting to earn money, I realized that I was a variety entertainer. The reason my confidence in acting has gradually diminished in 'Home Alone' is because people like Kian84, Park Na-rae, Han Hye-jin, and Jun Hyun-moo are the best in Korea. They are the top in comedy, webtoons, MCing, and modeling. Being among such people..." He shared his concerns at that time.
In response, Park Na-rae said, "I've talked about this a lot. 'Oppa, don't say that. I really like your acting, and that's why I say this. Don't say those things.' But at some point, I felt very sorry that just saying that could sound like a meaningless comfort. I worried it might sound like that."
Then Lee Si-eon noted, "It was meaningless comfort for me. Anyway, I have to reach the top to stand shoulder to shoulder with these friends, but I feel like I'm not doing well among such great friends. Because I had really high self-esteem before. But I still seem to have the struggle regarding that."
Park Na-rae shared a behind-the-scenes story, saying, "The last filming in Jeju Island was actually much earlier than your marriage. We held on tight. We told you not to go. But even though you talked about marriage, there were actually more concerns behind that."
