Broadcaster Lee Hwi-jae recently saw his father pass away after losing his mother three years ago. However, malicious comments have appeared even in articles about his father's death, criticizing his past mistakes and causing discomfort.

According to broadcasting industry sources on the 6th, Lee Hwi-jae's father, Lee Kang-il, passed away early that morning. He was 87 years old. The funeral home was set up in Room 9 of the Seoul Hanyang University Hospital Funeral Hall, and Lee Hwi-jae listed his real name, Lee Young-jae, as the head mourner.

Lee Hwi-jae gained great popularity by appearing on KBS 2TV's "Super Dad is Back" with his twin sons, Seo-eon and Seo-jun. Seo-eon and Seo-jun were loved as the "National Twins" by online aunties and uncles, and Lee Hwi-jae completely erased his playboy image.

However, in 2022, the Lee Hwi-jae family came under fire for a series of controversies, including inter-floor noise issues, his wife Moon Jung-won's unpaid toy bills, and undisclosed YouTube advertising. Consequently, Lee Hwi-jae suspended all broadcasting activities and moved to Canada with his family.

In March, he attempted a return to broadcasting after four years with news of his appearance on KBS 2TV's "Immortal Songs." However, the viewer bulletin board was flooded with opinions opposing his appearance, and the production team also faced criticism.

Although it may be a harsh standard for Lee Hwi-jae, who has no criminal record, he has been labeled as unpopular by the public because not a single good deed has surfaced despite repeated attempts to dig up positive stories. This is because only eyewitness accounts stating "There isn't a single good deed even after coming to Canada" have been unearthed in the Vancouver expatriate community in Canada.

For this reason, some malicious commenters are defiling the comment section of this article about his father's death with vicious comments. No matter how unpopular Lee Hwi-jae may be as a celebrity, it is unacceptable to defile the sorrow of losing a beloved father with malicious comments.
