When it comes to the "chaebol" family, everyone will first think of the power of "only covering the sky with one hand" or many dark events. Especially the recently popular Korean drama "Penthouse" has made everyone very interested in the life of Korean giants.
But the actor Li Yigeng, who was born with a golden spoon, is something special. Lee Yi-gung's father is the president of a well-known L Group subsidiary in South Korea, and he has been very good since he was a child. Not only is he in the top five of the school for his grades, but he is also a karate master.
After graduating from high school, Lee Yi-gung was admitted to Korea Sport University with excellent results and wanted to continue his karate studies. Unfortunately, because of a serious injury, he had to give up his dream of becoming a professional athlete.
Li Yigeng's father originally planned to let him study abroad and come back to work in the company, but he refused to be interested in business, and even turned his face with his father. With the dream of becoming an actor, Li Yigeng submitted an application for withdrawal to the University of Physical Education and entered the Acting Academy to start studying acting.
His father felt that becoming an actor was a very faceless thing to do, so he refused to provide him with any financial support. Living alone in Seoul, Lee Yi-gung had to work and study at the same time.
Li Yigeng, who lives in a cold basement and works until three o'clock in the morning every day, never wants to give up. Every day I went to Jiangnan English College to work, after the end of the day to Jiangbei to take acting class, after class to go to the café in Jiangnan Station as a waiter Li Yigeng, all rely on their own work-study to complete their studies.
Although as a chaebol boy, he can be crammed into various TV series through relationships, but the simple he still did not rely on anyone, rushing to the auditions of major crews.
In 2012, after many failed auditions, the 24-year-old Li Yigeng ushered in his first role in his life, and in the movie "White Night", although the role was not much, he was still very conspicuous.
Unfortunately, after learning of his son's successful debut, his father not only did not feel happy and proud, but felt that he was a "family shame". Under his strong opposition, although Li Yigeng has a handsome appearance and superb acting skills, he can only play some supporting roles, and some even have only a few lines, but Li Yigeng is happy in it.
Li Zaijing's secretary Li Shen in "You from the Stars" and the enterprise worker in "Descendants of the Sun", each small role has a strong sense of existence under his interpretation.
In the costume drama "Secret History", which has just been broadcast, Li Yigeng, as the second male, has a large number of rival scenes with the female sovereign Nala. Although the drama is suspected of plagiarizing the costume drama "Qing Yu Nian" in terms of styling, the witty and funny plot is very interesting, and even many people call it the Korean version of "Ji Xiaolan".
In addition to the actor's work, Li Yigeng in private does not have any bad habits of the children of the rich family. In March this year, Li Yigeng rescued a drunkard who tried to commit suicide at the Hannan Bridge late at night. According to witnesses to the incident, a drunk man was idle on the bridge that night, and suddenly rushed into the lane, almost hit by a truck, when the truck braked in time, the drunk man rushed to another lane, seemed to be intentionally hit by the car, and even wanted to jump into the river.
Seeing this scene, Li Yigeng immediately got out of the car and tried to stop the drunk man from doing something stupid. In order to stop the drunkard who wanted to be hit by a car and wanted to jump into the river, Li Yigeng clutched the other party and dissuaded him for a while.
In addition to seeing the righteous and courageous, Lee Yigeng also often participates in some public welfare activities, which can be called a clear stream of the rich second generation in South Korea.
The new drama "Dark Royal History" is being broadcast, and I look forward to Li Yigeng's outstanding performance.
