On the 11th 'CGN' channel, a video titled 'The pain of losing a son, God who met in the deepest moment of despair | Actor Lee Kwang-ki' was uploaded.
In the video, Lee Kwang-ki calmly recalled how he felt when he lost his son Seok-gyu to the swine flu in November 2009. He "Everything was resentful at the time. While I was resentful, the guilt that I couldn't protect the child crossed my mind. "As I saluted, many people said "Seok-gyu became an angel", but I didn't want to hear it when I heard it in such a situation. What's the point of being an angel. He's not next to me. So no consolation was possible."
Lee Kwang-ki, who said he had extreme thoughts at the time, said "After the funeral, I thought I should come home and stabilize my family. After stabilizing them all, sadness, pain, and guilt all came to me in one tsunami"I looked at the sky, and the stars shone like jewels that day. One of them, looking at the bright star that shines especially clearly, I wondered if Seok-gyu really became an angel, and wept.
He "What crime did I commit and I wondered why I chose my child. But I knew that everything in my hands, not even my children, was mine"It was pain in the end, but looking back, it changed me. Seeing that, in the end, I felt that sadness was not sadness.'"Death is, in a way, the root of life. It nourishes living people. Thank you for making Seok-gyu's family a strong supporter, and Seok-gyu's younger brother Jun-seo was also born. I don't think death ends with death.'

He said "Seok-gyu's life insurance money came into my bank account, and my wife cried so much when she saw it. I kept crying because I didn't have children, but what was the point of money"At that time, one of our traumas was that my heart was beating just by looking at a child of (Suk-gyu's age. I turned the channel and avoided it when there was a drama on TV that sent my child away or a story of death. It's harder to see it, so I didn't watch it as much as I could."
Then "At that time, the earthquake in Haiti killed children and parents. I didn't think I would do it on TV if it was finished quickly, so we decided to donate Seok-gyu's insurance money to Haiti because we liked it. Seokgyu said, "It's the first and last good thing in the world, so let's do it."But many NGO organizations will participate if the press release is released rather than just us." My heart fluttered at the words, 'The seeds of Seok-gyu will bear numerous fruits. I made a press release because I thought it would be meaningful if Seok-gyu's small seed could bear numerous fruits."
Afterwards, Lee Kwang-ki said on the broadcast that he visited Haiti in person and volunteered to gain new hope.
