On October 22, SBS' television show 'My Little Old Boy' released a trailer for their upcoming episode featuring a new cast member―Lee Dong Gun.
It particularly showed a little bit of Lee Dong Gun's life as a father living away from his daughter.
During his talk with the production team, Lee Dong Gun stated, "It's been over three years since I got divorced. Until recently, I lived in the house that we lived together, as a family of three. After they moved out, everything felt too empty there. I didn't want to go home."
He continued, "That made me want to move to a new house where the entire space met my needs. The house I live in now is my new home."
Later, Lee Dong Gun was also spotted calling his 7-year-old daughter Ro-ah.
As soon as Lee Dong Gun heard Ro-ah's voice, his eyes turned watery.
He told Ro-ah, "I miss you lots. What about you, Ro-ah?", and she responded, "Umm... I miss you as much as an 15th floor apartment building!"
Ro-ah's answer, "Oh, a letter? I will write to you!", made him tear up and smile at the same time.
To the production team, the actor said, "Ever since we separated, I've been seeing Ro-ah every Sunday. As her father, I want to give her every support as I can to make her happy. I wish to see her grow up with a happy smile on her face."
Back in May 2017, Lee Dong Gun and actress Cho Yoonhee announced that they were expecting a baby.
The couple got married soon after that, their baby―Ro-ah―was born in December that year they got married.
Unfortunately though, their marriage did not last long; they divorced each other in May 2020.
