Lee Seung-gi said at the press and distribution premiere of 'extra-family' at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 21st, "After getting married and having children, I understand how my parents feel."
Released on December 11th, 'About Family' is a family comedy in which cute grandchildren who have never seen the world come to CEO Pyeong Man-ok, a dumpling restaurant who became a monk, and director Yang Woo-seok of 'The Attorney' and 'Steel Rain' took the megaphone.
Lee Seung-gi is the son of Ham Moo-ok, the president of the old restaurant Pyeong-manok in Seoul, and played the role of Ham Mun-seok, who breaks up ties with his father and becomes a monk. He said "For me 'extraordinary family' was both a set and a site of education. The director gave me a lot of advice. "I was a fan of Kim Yun-seok again, and I hoped I would have a chance to act with my senior, but it was so nice to be with him this time. It's a great honor to be able to work with the best actor in Korea."
When asked what kind of son he was actually, he replied "Most father-son relationships are fleshy and don't seem to have as many conversations as they appear in public service ads." Lee Seung-gi said, `When I think about it, I think I didn't learn how to talk well. I'm a father and child, and I spend a lot of time at home, but I'm shy to tell you when something happens. I also don't have a casual conversation with my father. Rather, getting older these days, getting married and having children, I think I understand my parents' feelings and have become stronger."
