Will you marry me?: Lee Dong-geon wants to get married...quickThe
When Night Comes actor reveals: "After recently experiencing an unfortunate incident, I wanted to get married as soon as possible. I'll be going for military service around next year and I want to get married before then."
The "unfortunate incident" he is talking about is the
untimely death of his younger brother in Sydney in March this year. Feeling the need to "fill" the place of his missing brother, the actor confesses that he wants to get hitched for his parents' sake - to show them that their remaining son is living well.
"I think if a new person comes into our family, I'll feel more comfortable too," he reasons candidly. "Even for me, I think that a lover or a wife can fill the emptiness I feel."
Lee then goes on to reveal his ideal girl: "Someone who is not famous, has many life experiences, mature and tolerant."
Since the actor has been under the spotlight from a young age, his past relationships have always been with co-workers. His latest ex is actress
Han Ji-hye - the pair
broke up early this year. He says, "Before, feelings were important, but there was always something that didn't work out."
Introvert: Will it be difficult for Dong-gun to find
someone special because of his nature?However, the star has a problem. The self-professed introvert dislikes being matched up by a third party and likes being alone. Lee figures that with a personality like that, it will be difficult to meet that special someone.
"I'm not very close with others, and I am also very shy and introverted. So I hope to meet someone who can complete and lead me," he reveals.
"I don't think I am very attracted to people I meet through others. I feel that getting to know a person after meeting them is most important, but on blind dates, there's nothing like that. Thinking about it now, I think it'll be hard to meet a good person (laughs)."
Lee hopes to find a lady who can get along well with his family. After the tragedy, he hopes that his family can find peace again through his marriage.
