[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 8th, Lee Yi-kyung, who appeared on the broadcast of 'Knowing Bros,' attracted attention by revealing that he never received any financial support from his father.

On that day, JTBC's variety show 'Knowing Bros' featured Infinite's Sungkyu, singer Kangnam, and actor Lee Yi-kyung as transfer students, sharing entertaining anecdotes. In particular, Lee Yi-kyung mentioned that after dropping out of school, he never asked his father for money and revealed that he has been earning on his own since he was 18.

Lee Yi-kyung previously drew attention by mentioning his father, Lee Woong-beom, the CEO of LG Innotek, an LG affiliate company known to have an annual salary exceeding 1 billion KRW, on a variety show. After sustaining an injury from sports in high school, he followed his father's advice to do what he wanted and moved to Seoul to pursue a career as an actor.

He later entered a physical education college but decided to quit and re-enroll as a class of 2011 student at Seoul Institute of the Arts to receive more specialized training to become an actor.

'Knowing Bros' airs every Saturday at 9 PM on JTBC.
