Actor Lee Jong-hyeok congratulated his son, Lee Tak-soo, on his theater debut.
On the 19th, Lee posted a message on his social media saying, "Sincere congratulations on your professional stage debut. I hope you continue to grow beautifully," along with a review of watching the play "Dead Poets Society."
He then shared photos from the performance, adding, "All I could see was Tak-soo," revealing his affection for his son.
Upon seeing this, actor Han Jeong-su left a comment saying, "Congratulations to Tak-soo. You raised your son well," while Lee Sang-yeop wittily conveyed his congratulations by saying, "I'm really sorry, but he looks more handsome than you."
Lee Tak-soo made his professional stage debut through the play "Dead Poets Society." The play is set in 1959 at Welton Academy, a prestigious boarding school in New England, USA. It tells the story of John Keating, an English teacher who arrives as a new faculty member and delivers a message to students pressured by college entrance exams and success alone: to enjoy the present moment.
Previously, Lee Jong-hyeok appeared on JTBC's "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" and revealed that his son, Lee Tak-soo, who is currently studying in the Department of Theater and Film at Dongguk University, recently passed an audition for a play.
At that time, he shared news about his son's recent activities, saying, "He will make his debut on the Daehangno stage with a play based on the movie 'Dead Poets Society.' He works part-time at a café during the day and at a restaurant in the evening. I only give him enough for transportation costs." His comments sparked widespread discussion.
Meanwhile, Lee Jong-hyeok previously appeared alongside his two sons, Tak-soo and Jun-su, on MBC's variety program "Dad! Where Are We Going?" and received much love from viewers. Both brothers dream of becoming actors. Last May, Lee Tak-soo signed an exclusive contract with Big Boss Entertainment, joining his father under the same roof.
