Actor Kim Yoon-seok drew attention by saying about Lee Seung-gi, with whom he acted in the movie ‘Big Family’, that he was a “young and adult friend.”

‘Big Family’, which will be released on December 11, tells the story of the owner of a dumpling restaurant, Pyeong Man-ok (Kim Yoon-seok), whose family lineage has been cut off because of his son (Lee Seung-gi) who has become a monk, and who ends up living together in an unexpected and amazing cohabitation when cute grandchildren he has never seen before visit him.

At a production report meeting held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 12th, Kim Yoon-seok said about Lee Seung-gi, with whom he acted as father and son, “Even before we met through this production, he was an actor who gave me the feeling of being a young and adult actor,” and added, “He is very self-restrained and has a sense of balance that allows him to do well in whatever you give him.” He said, “I thought, ‘He must be a friend.’”

Then he jokingly said, “And actually, before I actually met him, I didn‘t know he was this tall. His head was so small, I couldn’t even imagine how tall he was.” He then said about Lee Seung-gi, who shaved his head for the role of a monk in the drama, “I think he chose this drama because he knows how pretty his head is. It‘s the first time I’ve seen such pretty hair,” making everyone laugh.
