A top multi-talented entertainer candidly shared his feelings about malicious comments, drawing attention as he was previously tangled up in controversies.
On October 8th, a video titled “Surprise live broadcast from a high school classroom” was uploaded on YouTube. The video features Lee Seung Gi, who is active as an actor, singer, TV host, and more.
Notably, Lee Seung Gi married actress Lee Da In, daughter of actress Kwon Mi Ri, in 2023. They welcomed their first daughter the following year and their son in July this year. However, after his father-in-law was implicated in a stock manipulation case in April last year, Lee Seung Gi distanced himself from his in-laws.
At the time, he stated, “The trust within the family has been damaged beyond repair,” and “After much consideration, my wife and I have decided to sever ties with my in-laws.”
However, Lee Seung Gi was hit with massive backlash after the announcement.

In the recently released video, Lee Seung Gi unexpectedly visited his alma mater, Sanggye High School, and sat down with his juniors. On that day, a student asked, “When you become famous, you must get a lot of malicious comments. How did you endure them?”
Lee Seung Gi replied, “It used to hurt a lot back then. It still hurts, of course.” He added, “When someone says bad things to me, it naturally hurts. That’s not something you get used to.”
He continued, “You just accept it and live with it. If I really did something wrong, then I should reflect on it. But if I didn’t do anything wrong and for some reason people say those things, you have to learn to let it go.”
He also explained why you need to let it go. Lee Seung Gi said, “Thinking about things that make you very angry is not good for me. It ruins your day.” He added, “Everyone experiences things like this in life. I just get more of it because I’m more famous. These things don’t only happen to famous people.”
Finally, he encouraged his juniors by saying, “I hope you become stronger and handle such things with resilience.”
