Actor Lee Beom-sik expressed his gratitude and apology toward his family while sharing his thoughts on the attention he has received for the film 'Hoff'.

On the 11th, a video titled "First exclusive interview with the protagonist of the iconic scene in 'Hoff' who saved Jo In-sung riding a white horse" was released on the YouTube channel 'Wonmaikeu'.

That day, Lee Beom-sik said about the outpouring of attention since the release of 'Hoff', "People who watched 'Hoff' have called me. I feel like I'm receiving such hospitality from friends and acquaintances that it's almost too much. I've been feeling good lately."

Lee Beom-sik left a strong impression with the scene where he appears riding a white horse to save Sung-ki (played by Jo In-sung). Regarding the filming at the time, he recalled, "The goal was to snatch Sung-ki and beat him up in a place away from aliens. I didn't expect such an enormous 'Ma-bi-yo' to come crashing down from above." He added, "When I saw that scene during the preview screening, my breath stopped for a moment. My heart pounded at the screams around me."

He continued, "At the scene, when I heard the director say 'Okay' while watching the monitor and clapping, I thought, 'This is done.' It was a scene where luck went well, and the camera director also did a great job," attributing the success to others.

Regarding Jo In-sung, with whom he worked closely, Lee said, "Since you have to lead the action from start to finish, there must have been a lot of responsibility, yet he performed every scene without using a stunt double." He praised, "He acts well and speaks well too. He ran and rolled around himself. Jo In-sung is a person with good character as an actor."

In particular, he shared that his family was greatly delighted upon seeing his image on the movie poster. Lee said, "I thought they sent it for me to see since I was on the poster, but it turned out to be the real poster." He added, "I showed it to my children and their mother, and they were very happy."

Lee also revealed that he had felt deeply apologetic toward his family over the years. He stated, "I have felt sorry for my children. As an actor, I wish we could keep working non-stop on projects, but that's not always possible. We need to make a living, and I feel sorry for not being able to do more."

In fact, he mentioned that he has been doing other work alongside his acting career to support his family. Lee said, "I am delivering condolence wreaths and congratulatory wreaths with the truck I rode in today."

He also expressed special gratitude toward his wife. He recalled, "My wife told me she had suffered a lot. When we got married, my father-in-law opposed it. I had nothing but my body." He added, "I went to my mother-in-law and said, 'I will end with just one wife. Please allow it.'"

He continued, "I live always feeling sorry for my family. Even though there's no guarantee that I can provide generously for living expenses, when I go somewhere, my wife follows without a single complaint."

Most of all, he choked up recalling the moment he received help from his eldest son. Lee said, "What hurt me most was when my eldest son gave me 20 million won that he had saved while attending school." He confessed, "The biggest debt is having received help from my children."

He added that his son told him, "Dad, just raising me this much makes me grateful, so don't feel burdened," and expressed his deep affection for his family by saying, "That word means so much to me."
