Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi quietly continued to have a "positive influence" despite conflicts with his agency, leaving a deep impression.
Recently Lee Seung Gi has been in a dispute with his agency over an exclusive contract. The two sides have disagreed over payment of settlements and whether the contract was violated, and the controversy has continued. Amid this, he has spent his time quietly without making any particular statements or public appearances.
The update he shared was unexpected. On the 1st, child welfare organization ChildFund Korea said Lee Seung Gi decided to donate his entire appearance fee for his KBS 1TV Donghaeng family month special.
Lee Seung Gi met with a child with developmental disabilities and the child's family on the show, spent a day with them, helped with garden work and spent time sharing everyday difficulties. Beyond a simple appearance, he donated even the appearance fee he received from that meeting. In addition, Lee Seung Gi also visited Hyunseong's home and discussed what support the family might need. Sponsor ChildFund Korea said it plans to use Lee Seung Gi's donation for Hyunseong's family and other families in need of support.
What made this news particularly moving was the "timing." Rather than taking active steps to restore his image amid the controversy, he quietly continued his donations. The news, delivered without special promotion or messages, was received as more sincere. In particular, separate from his personal conflict situation, his warm good deeds conveyed a positive influence and moved people.
At the same time, Lee Seung Gi continues his professional activities. He is scheduled to return to the stage in May by participating in the Kim Do-hoon special recording of KBS2's Immortal Songs. Fans are looking forward to what kind of performance he will show within the connection with the composer with whom he previously worked on songs such as "Will you marry me."
Meanwhile, Lee Seung Gi married actress Kyeon Mi-ri's daughter and actress Lee Yu-bi's sister Lee Da-in in 2023 and welcomed their first daughter in 2024. The couple, who announced a second pregnancy in February, are expecting a birth this year.
