Lee Dong-hwi recently shared heartfelt thoughts about life, revealing that building a family has become one of his biggest personal goals following major changes in his life.
The actor appeared as a guest on the popular talk show You Quiz on the Block on March 11. Known for his humorous personality, Lee Dong-hwi entertained viewers with his witty stories throughout the episode. However, toward the end of the broadcast, he shifted to a more emotional tone while reflecting on his life and personal values.
Lee Dong-hwi explained that his perspective on life began to change after losing close friends. “Now I want to live not just for myself, but also for my family and the people around me,” he said.
He specifically mentioned the passing of Na Chul, who died suddenly in January 2023 at the age of 36. The two actors had shared a close friendship, and the loss deeply affected him.
“After sending my friend off, I thought I shouldn’t keep living the same way,” Lee Dong-hwi recalled. “The day I returned home after the funeral, I promised myself I would live harder so that something like that wouldn’t happen again to the people around me.”
The actor also spoke candidly about his parents. Watching them grow older made him realize that he wanted to show them the moment he builds his own family.
“Creating a family has become my life’s biggest goal now,” he said, adding that he has recently become more expressive and talkative with his parents compared to the past when he was more reserved.
Lee Dong-hwi’s remarks come months after news of his breakup with Jung Ho-yeon. The two had been in a relationship for nine years before announcing their separation in November 2024. At the time, both agencies confirmed the split and stated that the former couple decided to remain supportive colleagues.
Now at 42, Lee Dong-hwi appears to be entering a new chapter in life—one where family and meaningful relationships have become his greatest priorities.
