Lee Dong-gun, feeling as if this is the end... his tearful confession on 'My Little Old Boy' revisited amid dating rumors.

Actor Lee Dong-gun is garnering attention due to dating rumors with fellow actor Kang Hae-rim, and the feelings he shared during his appearance on SBS 'My Little Old Boy' last year are being brought up again.

During the broadcast, Lee Dong-gun visited a temple with comedian Kim Jun-ho to have their fortune told for the New Year. The two appeared tense with the unusual method of floating a paper with their fortunes written on it in water for divination.

The shaman looked at Lee Dong-gun and said, "You are very lonely. You tend to cry a lot in your heart. I can feel that emotion, and it makes me sad," as they teared up. They added, "Since missing a major fortune 20 years ago, I’ve been stuck in the same place," which deepened the sense of pity.

In response, Lee Dong-gun honestly shared, "I’ve lost too much—good works, money, and people," and noted, "I have worried and made decisions cautiously, but they have not always been correct. As the waiting has prolonged, I’ve started to feel, ‘Am I done here?’" This scene recorded the highest viewership rating of 16.3%, marking it as the 'best moment.'

However, the shaman continued, "The fortune for 2024 is very good. Activities in the entertainment industry will also become vigorous," delivering a hopeful sign. Even after a year, this has remained a topic of discussion. Notably, they mentioned, "You might find a connection and even marry a woman over 50 who is in business. A precious son appears in your fortune," which surprised the 'mother Avengers' present in the studio and made them burst into laughter.

Since the dating rumors with 16-year-younger actor Kang Hae-rim surfaced about a year later, the fortune-telling scene from that time is being revisited. Although both sides have said, "It’s difficult to confirm as it is a personal matter," there are reactions suggesting whether the prophecy predicting Lee Dong-gun's 'new beginning' may become a reality, despite the profession of the counterpart being off the mark.
