In 2020, Lee Si-yeon announced through his personal SNS that he would leave the variety show "I Live Alone" which he has worked on for the past 5 years, and expressed at that time that he wanted to focus on his acting career. Recently, Lee Si-yeon revealed the true reason why he left "I Live Alone".
The Korean-English translation: On the 3rd, in tvN's variety show "Busan Guys Go to Town: Sydney Edition", the appearances of actors Heo Seong-tae, Lee Shi-hwan, Ahn Poo-hyeon, Bae Jeong-nam and travel influencer Kwak Jun-bin traveling in Australia were depicted.
Before their last shift, Ahn Pyeong-hun and Kuk Jun-bin visited the Sydney Observatory to enjoy the city's scenery. Meanwhile, Huh Seung-tae, Lee Shi-han, and Bae Jung-nam stayed at the dormitory to chat. Lee Shi-han mentioned that he went to Busan in September to perform a spoken drama. He visited the cultural hall and had a good experience.
Next, Lee Si-yeon also revealed that before shooting "Busan people out of town", he had just finished a stage play that he had been focusing on for 2 years. At this point, Lee Si-yeon revealed why he left "Living Alone" back then.
He said, "Back then, due to a particular TV drama being popular, I joined the variety show 'I Live Alone'. However, no one remembers that I once starred in that drama. Even though I acted in many plays during that time, in the end, the audience only remembers me for the variety show."
He continued to say, "This has deeply saddened me and put a lot of pressure on me. I also decided to leave 'I Live Alone' and take a break due to marriage." After hearing these words, Heo Sung-tae praised Lee Si-eon's decision.
After hearing this, Lee Si-yeon also agreed with what the other person said, stating that he had started a endless series of drama opportunities since he got off from "I Live Alone". Being able to do what he finds interesting reaffirmed his belief that his choice was correct.
Editor: I believe Lee Shi-Yan must have been really tormented at the time 😔😔
