When asked about her impressions and what she focused on while acting, she said, "Today, I watched the preview with all the media in attendance, and I realized just how amazing it was that I shaved my head.
In fact, I decided to appear in the film simply because it was directed by Yang Woo-seok and I was playing father and son with senior Kim Yun-seok. So I didn't think shaving my head was a big deal.
People around me say it's a bold challenge, so I think if I saw other actors doing it, I would have thought, 'That's a great challenge.' Above all, Park Suyeong, the senior next to me,
He shaved his head with me. It's really amazing," he said, drawing laughter. When asked about his relationship with his father as a "human being," Lee Seung Gi said, "I have the same relationship as a normal father and son.
We don't have warm and fuzzy conversations like in the public service announcements. If you think about it, I don't think I've learned how to talk to my father. Of course, we're father and son, so we spend a lot of time together at home.
However, I felt shy when I talked to my father, and I couldn't speak to him kindly," she confessed. On the other hand, she said, "Maybe because I've gotten older, gotten married, and had children, my bond with my parents has gotten stronger than before.
"I think I've become able to understand my parents' feelings," he added. Lee Seung Gi married actor Lee DaIn, daughter of actor Gyeon Mi Ri, in 2023, and had a daughter in February.
Along with the release of "Big Family," he is also set to make a comeback as a singer to mark his 20th debut anniversary.
