On May 20, fashion magazine W Korea shared their recent photo shoot and interview with Lee Dong Wook.

He said, "The words 'You did well' are meaningful when someone else says them, and I think I have to look at myself more realistically."
He continued, "My agency director tells me not to be so hard on myself, but I say, 'No, I have to fully understand my reality. I have to know myself.' Maybe I've been able to come this far thanks to that."

He said, "There was a time when I was having a severe slump, and I didn't leave my house for two to three months. It was right after the final filming of JTBC drama 'Life'."
He went on, "I felt scared about leaving the house. I felt like people would just point at me, and I felt like no one was on my side. I got so deep into that feeling. I didn't meet anyone and just stayed at home or worked out."

He added, "At that moment, I once again realized that even when going through a hard time, people are the most important thing."
