On SBS’ November 30 broadcast “My old man”Actor Jang Geun Suk’s private life took center stage, but what really captured viewers’ attention was Lee Seung Gi’s rare and touching insight into his life as a father. He visited Jang’s “secret hideout” together with fellow singer Lee Hong Ki.
As the only married man of the trio, Lee Seung Gi openly shared his family life. “My daughter is 21 months old now. She’s so adorable and just started going to nursery. I drop her off and pick her up with my wife, and that makes me really happy.” he said with a smile. “Of course, being a parent is difficult, sometimes more difficult than happy. But happiness hits you so hard that it’s worth everything.”
When asked about his daily routine, Lee detailed: “She wakes up at 8 in the morning and my wife or I go straight to her room. We change her diaper, wash her face and give her breakfast. Then around 9 we take her to daycare.”
She went on to explain how they avoid conflict as parents: “Parenting is something the whole family does together. We all go to the bathroom to wash the baby. If you start dividing responsibilities too rigidly, that’s when they start fighting.”
When asked who the baby most resembles, Lee responded: “At first she looked exactly like me, but her face keeps changing every week. The lower part of her face looks like mine, but from the nose up she’s her mother.”
The highlight of the segment came when Lee Seung Gi shared an adorable video of his daughter dancing to one of his songs. “I usually test out reactions to my new songs before I release them, and my daughter reacted really well. She dances to it, shaking her hips like she’s having fun. She’s even listened to it about ten times,” he said proudly.
Fans online melted watching the video, admiring Lee’s father-daughter bond and affection. His happiness as a father was palpable.
Lee Seung Gi married actress Lee Da In, daughter of veteran actress Kyeon Mi Ri, in 2023. The couple welcomed their first daughter last year and have since embraced family life with love and teamwork.
