Dream Boy Brother, Lee Do Hyun's Love for His Disabled Sister Touches Hearts

Kapanlagi.com - Lee Do Hyun started gaining popularity among drama lovers and became idolized by women after appearing in the drama HOTEL DEL LUNA. Now, the acting and handsomeness of this 25-year-old man can be seen in 18 AGAIN.

In the drama 18 AGAIN, Lee Do Hyun plays one of the main characters. He portrays the young version of Hong Dae Young (the adult character is played by Yoon Sang Hyun). His role as a father who becomes young again has received warm responses from drama lovers, including in Indonesia.

1. His Family Issue

According to Allkpop, due to his rising popularity, Lee Do Hyun's old interview with a magazine in 2019 is being talked about again. In the interview, he talked about his hopes for 2020. Besides hoping to be the only one working in his family, Lee Do Hyun also talked about his younger brother who has a disability.

"Both of my parents have been working for a long time and my brother has a disability. Fortunately, our country has a good program for people with disabilities, so he now works at a supermarket," Lee Do Hyun shared.

2. Family with Many Debts

Although his brother is able to work, Lee Do Hyun still worries. Especially because there are still many people who look down on disabled individuals.

"In my opinion, there is still discrimination and unfair treatment towards people with disabilities, even if it's unintentional. My mother has been working as a street vendor for a long time. When I asked her why she didn't quit, she said our family has a lot of debts. I know the amount and the promise to pay them off in 2020. Well, I'm not sure if it's possible or not, but that's my hope. That's why in 2020, I want my mother, father, and Donghyuk (his brother's name) to be able to rest at home and we can all live off my income. I think it will give me peace of mind when I have to serve in the military later," Do Hyun expressed his hope.

3. About Donghyuk

Next, he talked about his younger brother, Donghyuk. Lee Do Hyun said that at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his brother, but if you talk to him for a long time, you will realize.

"Donghyuk has a developmental disability (an individual with limitations in his development). It's not visible at first, but after talking to him for about 10 minutes, you can see it. He struggles with socializing and his intelligence is similar to that of a middle school student. He is overweight and people often underestimate him. That's why I often visit and tell people that I'm his older brother, and ask them not to bully him. But I also get a lot of inspiration from Donghyuk for my acting," said Lee Do Hyun.

4. Lee Do Hyun's Love for Donghyuk

During the interview, the person interviewing Lee Do Hyun apologized for asking about the actor's personal matters. But luckily, Lee Do Hyun didn't mind.

"Usually, I have no reason to mention my family issues in detail. But if I'm already talking to someone, the topic suddenly comes up because I love my brother so much," he concluded.

Keep up the good work, Lee Do Hyun. May your dreams come true and may your family always be happy. Keep supporting him, KLovers!
