Now, Dong Gun is making a comeback by starring in the Netflix drama 'Celebrity'. In the drama's press conference, the actor told about his life after his divorce from Jo Yoon Hee.
Lee Dong Gun has not starred in a new drama for about 4 years after "Leverage" in 2019. Around May 2020, the actor born in 1980 divorced Jo Yoon Hee when they already had 1 daughter.
Now, Dong Gun is making a comeback by starring in the Netflix drama titled "Celebrity". The actor attended a press conference held by the production team on Monday (26/6). Dong Gun revealed his activities during his acting hiatus and then divorced.
"I think there must be a reason why I have to take a break from work. I believe that it is important for a father to spend time with his daughter during her growth process from 5 to 7 years old," confided Dong Gun.
Dong Gun and Yoon Hee's daughter was born in December 2017. Dong Gun reveals his pain after the divorce and focuses on his daughter's growth. Now, even though Yoon Hee has custody, they agree to co-parent their daughter.
"After experiencing personal pain, I focused on my only daughter. Even though I couldn't always be by her side, I wanted to get rid of the anxiety about her father's absence, so I gave my heart and time to spend with her," he added.
Even though they are divorced, Dong Gun and Yoon Hee's relationship is still good. Yoon Hee even helped her daughter make a whipped cream cake on Dong Gun's birthday on the JTBC program "Brave Solo Parenting: I Raise" broadcast in September 2021.
On the other hand, Dong Gun also expressed his joy at being able to return to work and make an acting comeback in a Netflix drama. "I'm happy to be starring in 'Celebrity'. This is a very luxurious series," said the actor.
"Celebrity" is a series depicting the true reality of the glamorous and competitive life of celebrities faced by Seo Ah Ri (Park Gyu Young), who dives into a world where fame brings wealth. The woman experienced various events.
Meanwhile, "Celebrity" will be released via Netflix in over 190 countries around the world on June 30. For those who are curious, don't miss watching. (wk/charity)
