Lee Seung Gi opened up about his life as a new father during a radio appearance that came shortly after his public statement about severing ties with his in-laws.
On the May 7th broadcast of MBC FM4U’s Kim Eana’s Starry Night, the singer-actor shared heartfelt reflections on parenthood. “I think the year since having my child has been the time I’ve felt the most happiness,” the multi-hyphenate confessed. “I used to be somewhat obsessive-compulsive. I had to wake up and immediately go exercise, but since having a child, I spend so much time together with her that naturally, the things I thought I had to do got pushed back—and that actually makes me happy.”
The radio appearance coincided with the release of Lee’s new digital single Empty at 6 PM the same day. Lee personally participated in writing the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of the track, which marks his first new music since last year’s 20th anniversary album With.
Having used With as an opportunity to reflect on his musical journey and reconnect with his roots, Lee plans to accelerate his musical activities with Empty.
Lee Seung Gi married actress Lee Da In, daughter of veteran actress Kyeon Mi Ri, in April 2023, and welcomed a daughter in February 2024.

His radio comments come less than two weeks after his April 29th statement regarding his father-in-law’s stock manipulation controversy, in which he declared, “The trust between our families has been damaged beyond repair due to this incident, and after much deliberation, my wife and I have decided to sever our relationship with her family.”
