When asked whether he would serve in the military, Lee Ju-an said in an interview with Spotify News on the 1st that he was exempted after giving his mother a liver transplant when he was 22 years old.
He rushed to the hospital after receiving a call that his mother had suddenly lost consciousness due to liver cirrhosis, etc., saying "My mother had not been feeling well before." I needed urgent surgery, and I agreed to do a liver transplant.'
Lee Ju-an removed 70% of his liver and transplanted it to his mother. Fortunately, the operation was successful, and the mother's health improved.
Recently, he drew attention as Gong Gil in the drama `The Tyrant's Chef" and said, "My mother loves it so much. Now I feel like my mom is saying around me 'My son is learning'," he said with a smile.
Then "It's far away, but I'm relieved. It's all thanks to the viewers. Thank you."
Lee Ju-an made his debut with 'Sky Castle' in 2018 and appeared in 'Save me 2', 'Adviser 2', 'Goddess Kangrim' and 'Fantastic Sonata'. Currently, he is impressing his presence by playing the role of clown Gong Gil in 『The Tyrant's Chef』.
