Korean actor Lee Dong-wook was recently at the center of a viral internet remark that had both him and his fans laughing. At a promotional activity for his new drama, a fan jokingly said, *”Doesn’t Lee Dong-wook look like he has suffered three divorces?”* The surprise remark took the actor aback, prompting an embarrassed but amused response that soon became a trending moment online.
The 42-year-old thespian, who is noted for his sharp face and intense on-screen presence, brushed off the remark with equal humor and disbelief. “Three divorces? I haven’t even been married once!” he joked, and the crowd erupted in laughter. The exchange only went to further showcase Lee’s earthy character and his readiness to connect with fans in a light-hearted way, further winning him over to his worldwide audience.
As the viral video keeps trending on social media, fans have been arguing if Lee’s sulking stares are part of the joke or if it’s merely a matter of his over-the-top on-screen roles affecting perceptions. Most noted that his characters in popular K-dramas such as *Goblin* and *Tale of the Nine-Tailed* tend to have emotional baggage, which could be the reason why some fans connect him with a past of heartbreak.
Despite the playful banter, all eyes are now on his upcoming drama, starring alongside Lee Da-hee, set to release at the end of March. With anticipation building, fans are eager to see him take on a fresh role—hopefully, one without the burden of imaginary divorces!
