In 'How Do You Play?', actor Lee Yi-kyung revealed that he decided to move back in with his parents due to their declining health, evoking sadness and support.

On the afternoon of the 10th, the MBC entertainment program 'How Do You Play?' (abbreviated as 'HDYPlay') featured Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Joo Woo-jae, Lee Yi-kyung, Park Jin-joo, and Lee Mi-joo in a special segment for Family Month, showcasing 'Family Visit.' Accordingly, they visited the home of Park Kwang-jae along with the family-like actors Im Won-hee and comedian Im Woo-il.

That day, Lee Yi-kyung began by saying, "I’m getting married on May 14," which elicited a reaction of surprise. However, the reality was that he clarified he would be moving back home after sorting everything out.

He expressed, "I realized I hardly meet my family even ten times a year. I’ve never even had a date with my father and mother on a day off or a day that ends early," emphasizing the importance of time spent with parents.

In particular, Lee Yi-kyung confessed, "My father is also in poor health. That’s the biggest reason," evoking sympathy. He had already mentioned last year's year-end award speech and in previous 'HDYPlay' episodes that his mother's heart surgery was not going well.

He also shared, "When I made the decision, I told my mother, and at first she said, 'Why would you do that?', as she felt very burdened." He added, "I left home in my teens and have been living alone, but I'm nearing forty now. My parents didn’t know what I was like in my 20s and 30s. They feel very uncomfortable about it," voicing his concerns.

Joo Woo-jae mentioned, "I’ve had a similar experience," referring to his later decision to reunite with his parents. He shared, "I moved out as soon as I went to university in my 20s, and then moved back in my mid-30s."

He continued, "Initially, after living separately from my parents for a long time, we didn’t know each other well. My parents don't know me, and I don't know my parents either." He advised, "However, while it may feel uncomfortable at first, a kind of puzzle forms, and bonds strengthen. Looking back, there are far more benefits."

Im Won-hee added, "I think you should move back in." Yoo Jae-suk then remarked, "That’s why there’s a bathroom in your house, right? But I hear you go to your parents’ house to take a bath at 4 a.m.," which brought more laughter.
