The scene where Lee Dong-gun took his daughter Roa home made “My Little Old Boy” viewers cry
SBS’s entertainment program “My Little Old Boy” broadcast on December 10th showed Lee Dong-gun spending time with his daughter Roa once a week. That day, the two made rice balls together. Lee Dong-gun asked, “Is it good?”, and Roa replied, “It’s very delicious. The most delicious dish I’ve ever eaten”, drawing admiration from the panelists.
At that moment, Roa confessed, “I wish I could live with Dad”. Surprised by his daughter’s sudden confession, Lee Dong-gun went speechless and hesitated for a few seconds. He asked back, “With me?”. As Roa repeated, “I want to live with you”, Lee Dong-gun replied, “Me, too”, with an upset expression.
After going to the kids’ cafe with Roa, Lee Dong-gun took her home. Sitting in the back seat, Roa bowed her head and said, “I’m sad that we have to say goodbye, Dad”. Hearing that, Lee Dong-gun immediately responded, “I’ll see you again next week. Don’t be sad”.
However, Roa eventually burst into tears and said, “I think I’m going to get carsick…”.
Watching the scene from the studio, Lee Dong-gun’s mother also shed tears. MC Seo Jang-hoon commented, “The situation is complicated. She must be very upset. She doesn’t want to say goodbye to her Dad but she’s tired”.
Later, the two arrived at Roa’s house but Roa didn’t know she would leave his father’s arms. Returning to the car after sending Roa home, Lee Dong-gun quietly stared at the empty seat where Roa sat, drawing regrets from viewers.
Meanwhile, Lee Dong-gun and actress Jo Yoon-hee announced their marriage in May 2017. They got married in September and had their daughter Roa in December of the same year. However, the two divorced in 2020 after three years of marriage.
