Lee Seung-gi celebrates Korean Liberation Day while honouring family's military legacy
Lee Seung-gi received a commendation from the government for being selected as a member of a prestigious family that completed military service for three generations. Korean star Lee Seung-gi , known for his charming roles in dramas like 'Vagabond' and hits like 'Because You're My Woman', took to his Instagram Story to mark Liberation Day, or ' Gwangbokjeol ' in Korean. This day commemorates Korea's independence from Japanese colonial rule in 1945, and Lee chose it to proudly showcase his family's latest accolade. With a simple caption "8.15 Gwangbokjeol" and a photo of him at a gravesite adorned with the national flag and a shiny commendation plaque, he reminded fans why he's not just a celebrity but a symbol of duty and family values. Three generations of service Lee's family was officially recognised as a ' Byeongyeok Myeongmunga ' - a prestigious military service family. This isn't some casual award; it's an honour for households where three consecutive generations of men have faithfully completed their mandatory military duties. The plaque even lists the names of all three generations, proving their commitment. According to the Military Manpower Administration , this system selects families annually based on service records, with award ceremonies celebrating their contributions to national defence. Lee himself served in the Army's 13th Special Mission Brigade starting in February 2016, wrapping up his duties honourably. For Indian youth, think of it as a modern twist on the valor stories from our freedom fighters - families stepping up for the nation, generation after generation. From soldier to family man After his military stint, Lee didn't just rest on his laurels; he jumped back into the spotlight with music releases and acting gigs that kept fans hooked. Fast forward to April 2023, and he tied the knot with actress Lee Da-in in a beautiful ceremony that had everyone swooning. Then, in February 2024, they welcomed a baby girl, adding a new chapter to his life. Why this matters in today's world In an era where celebrities often face scrutiny, Lee's humble share stands out for its authenticity. By highlighting his family's military legacy on Liberation Day, he's sparking conversations about national service among young fans. This recognition, as per official sources from the Military Manpower Administration, underscores the value placed on such dedications in Korean society.

K-Drama's favourite villain Im Sung-jae opens up about his role in 'Seocho-dong'
Im Sung-jae built his career delivering some of K-drama 's most chilling antagonists - the ones you either fear or can't take your eyes off. But tvN's recently concluded weekend drama 'Seocho-dong', which aired from June to August 2025, rewrote that script. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Across 12 episodes, viewers saw him step into the shoes of Ha Sang-gi - an associate lawyer stationed in Seoul's bustling legal hub. Initially painted as selfish and money-obsessed, the character gradually revealed layers of hardship, including a childhood marked by poverty. This role struck a chord with audiences, particularly because it allowed Im Sung-jae to showcase warmth without losing his signature charisma. It was a welcome departure for his fans - and, as the actor has openly admitted, a relief for his parents, who for once didn't have to watch their son commit fictional murders on screen. The character who was... Unlike many of his past portrayals requiring him to transform into someone brimming with malice, Ha Sang-gi didn't feel like a stretch. As Im Sung-jae has stated in various comments, a large part of Sang-gi's demeanour mirrors his own - calm, occasionally aloof, but ultimately kind-hearted. One standout moment came in a rainy-day sequence in which Sang-gi cries under a roof's eaves. Rather than delivering a perfectly composed "K-drama sob," Im instinctively pouted, "like a hippo" (his words), adding a touch of authenticity that resonated with viewers. Another emotional high point was when Sang-gi dismantled the "rich kid" misconception by sharing his humble beginnings. Instead of melodrama, the scene delivered steady, quiet heartbreak, supported by four different narration takes - with the final chosen one delivering just the right balance of control and vulnerability. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A first-ever romance... and a first-ever bed scene If anyone expected 'Seocho-dong' to remain all about law cases and personal struggles, the final episode had a surprise. Sang-gi's dynamic with fellow character Kim Ryu-jin (played by Kim Ji-hyun ) briefly turned romantic, culminating in what was Im's first on-screen intimate scene. While he admitted to pre-shoot jitters, the scene went smoothly thanks to his co-star's guidance. Though the romance was left unresolved - a typical K-drama cliffhanger style - it sparked fan conversations, and some even began imagining what a Sung-jae-led romantic comedy could look like. The fact is, South Korean rom-coms have a loyal audience not just at home but across Asia, including in India, where titles like 'Crash Landing on You' and 'My Love from the Star' have cult-like followings on OTT platforms. If Im does take on a lighthearted rom-com, it could significantly expand his fan base beyond Korea. What this change means for his career 'Seocho-dong' wasn't just a casting change for Im - it was image rehabilitation. While no next project has been officially announced, this performance suggests that he's open to more diverse roles. Whether that means returning to intense thrillers, staying in slice-of-life dramas, or testing waters in romantic comedy, one thing is clear: audiences now see more than just "the villain" in him. For a man who spent years making viewers' hearts race in fear, Im Sung-jae is now making them race for entirely different reasons.
