Actor Lee Dong-gun shocked everyone by confessing that he suffers from a rare disease.

In the preview for the SBS entertainment show 'My Ugly Duckling' airing on the 28th, Lee Dong-gun's health condition was revealed.

In the preview video, Lee Dong-gun was seen visiting the hospital with red bloodstains in his right pupil. He shared, "About once a month, my eyes become bloodshot, and it hurts just to breathe."

He added, "When the symptoms are severe, it feels like a needle is stabbing under my right trapezius." The doctor diagnosed him, saying, "It seems to be a rare disease that about 1% of the 51 million population in our country experiences," which created tension in the studio.

Watching this, Lee Dong-gun's mother couldn't hide her surprise, repeatedly saying, "Oh my, why my son..." The sight of a mother worrying about her son's health also drew sympathy from the studio guests.

At 45 years old this year, Lee Dong-gun married actress Jo Yoon-hee in 2017 and welcomed a daughter, Roa, the same year. However, after their divorce in 2020, he is currently living as a single man. He has been communicating with the public through 'My Ugly Duckling' recently.
