Actor Lee Ju-seung revealed the reason he donated his 100 million won prize money.

In an episode of MBC's variety program "I Live Alone" aired on the 17th, Lee Ju-seung was shown presenting a championship trophy to his maternal grandmother.

On that day, Lee Ju-seung visited his grandmother's home with his mother to comfort her after she had been feeling lonely following his grandfather's recent passing.

He then pulled out the trophy he had received for winning the director survival show "Directors Arena" with his unparalleled thriller direction.

Lee Ju-seung said, "Didn't my grandfather call me 'director'? I entered a competition where directors compete against each other, and I won," as he handed over the trophy to his grandmother.

Upon receiving it, his grandmother sobbed, saying, "Thank you. Just stay healthy. Your grandfather would have been so happy," moving the scene with emotion.

Lee Ju-seung also said, "I received a 100 million won prize and donated it all. Didn't my grandfather tell me to donate generously?" as he presented a donation certificate. His grandmother replied, "Well done. You won the award and donated it—well done," while repeatedly wiping away tears.

He added, "My grandfather told me from the time I directed short films that I would succeed as a director. He passed away while I was writing the final script for the survival show. After receiving the award, I gathered my thoughts and continued. I think my grandfather helped me."

Continuing, he said, "Thanks to my grandfather, I received this great award, and it feels like I'm continuing his spirit of service by donating. It's as if my grandfather himself received the award," as tears streamed down his face.
