Lee Si Eon To Step Down From "Home Alone" ("I Live Alone") To Focus On Acting
Lee Si Eon has announced that he’s leaving the cast of the popular MBC reality show “Home Alone” (“I Live Alone”).
On December 9, Lee Si Eon made the announcement through the following post on Instagram:
Hello. This is Lee Si Eon.
It’s gotten very cold. Please take care of your health, everyone. Be careful about COVID-19 and don’t forget to always wear a mask.
The reason that I’m posting this message today is that I’ve decided to leave “Home Alone” after over five years with the show, making this my last year on the program.
I had a long discussion with the production team and expressed my hope to have time to devote myself a bit more to acting. After a lot of thought, we came to this decision together.
I have so many precious and unforgettable memories from “Home Alone.” I was able to have a truly happy time on the program thanks to the production team who always gave their support and showed their trust in me and thanks to the members whom I shared joy and sorrow with for a long time and who taught me about what is precious.
Also, I think I was very lucky to have been able to receive so much interest and love from viewers as the person Lee Si Eon, rather than just as an actor. When I look back on it, I think I just feel that everything was so valuable and I’m so grateful…
I will always remember the love you’ve given me through “Home Alone” and I’ll do my best so that I can show an improved version of myself through projects as an actor. Please keep showing more interest and love for “Home Alone” and the Rainbow Club members.
