Lee Yi Kyung will be a guest star on tvN's new program "10 Billion Won Breakfast". Ahead of the broadcast, the production team presented a video clip showing the actor born in 1989 admitting to having quite a large debt.
The video clip shows MC Oh Eun Young commenting, "Having a debt of 10 million won is already heavy. The first thought that comes to mind is, 'Can I handle it?' 10 billion won is a huge amount of money." Unexpectedly, Yi Kyung revealed that he had a debt of 500 million won. "Right now, I have a loan of 500 million won.
It's suffocating me," said the star of the drama "Marry My Husband". Hearing that, MC Eun Young was quite surprised. Because, Yi Kyung is now included in the ranks of actors who already have a fairly large income. "Why do you have a debt of 500 million won? Don't you have a good income?" asked the MC.
Yi Kyung finally came clean about recently being a victim of fraud. "You know how people call scammers 'flies'? I made bad financial decisions and even took out loans. The annual interest alone was 2 million won per month, it drove me crazy," said the "Curtain Call" star.
On the other hand, Yi Kyung could actually easily pay off that much debt if he asked his parents for help. It is known that the actor's father is rich enough to even have intended to pay a penalty fee so that Yi Kyung would not star in a gay project.
Yi Kyung's father, Lee Woong Bum, is a former executive at LG Electronics. He served as president of LG Innotek and head of LG Chem's Battery Division. After retiring from his corporate role in 2017, he became president of Yeonam University in 2018.
The actor's father held the position until 2020. Yi Kyung once told of her father's anger when he read part of her script that mentioned sex scenes. "My parents were shocked and called me while I was filming. My father asked, 'Are you filming a project called 'One Night and Two Days'?," he said.
His father immediately asked Yi Kyung to stop filming. His father was even willing to pay a fine so that Yi Kyung would not star in the project. "I said yes, then he said, 'Stop everything and go home. I'll pay the production costs, come home quickly,'" he added.
Hearing that, hosts Shin Dong Yeop, Kwon Sang Woo, and Hwang Woo Seul Hye couldn't help but laugh at the situation. "Wow, the family is in chaos," said Dong Yeop. Sang Woo added, "LG won't allow it!". Meanwhile, Seul Hye joked, "Dad, I'm your adopted daughter."
