Korea's leading actor Lee Deok-hwa reveals the story of being diagnosed with a level 3 physical disability. Lee Deok-hwa appears on ‘You Quiz on the Block’, which airs on the afternoon of the 4th. Lee Deok-hwa, a 54-year-old national actor, tells not only his acting journey from a legendary tough guy to a professional actor for the chairman, but also a colorful episode called ‘The Legend of the Wig.’ In particular, Lee Deok-hwa brings laughter by sharing the story of how he went to get a wig fitting after being invited to 'You Quiz' and telling the world's first(?) wig-boasting talk, saying, "Do you want the director's ticket?" Writer Kim Soo-hyun, who wrote ‘Love and Ambition’, tells the story of how he first started wearing a wig, why he insists on wearing a wig rather than having a hair transplant, and the full story of calling his daughter a ‘devil’ also adds to the interest. In addition to releasing a lot of sayings worthy of being the ‘hero of 10 million hair loss people’, we also introduce a parade of contemporary buzzwords that made Yoo Jae-seok go wild, such as “please~”, “hair~hair~”, and “love and passion to you”. In particular, it presents an honest story of life that feels like a movie. Lee Deok-hwa, who debuted in 1972, tells the story of how he became an actor under the influence of his father, the late Lee Ye-chun, and how he was reborn as a young star by following his role model, James Dean, for three years when he was a rookie. The story of the motorcycle accident he experienced at the peak of his popularity, the life and death story of over 50 major surgeries and as many as 1,500 stitches will also be revealed. Deokhwa Lee was diagnosed with a level 3 physical disability due to this accident. He also reveals his special feelings for his wife, who stayed by his side even during his three-year battle with the disease, and the humorous incident he experienced while calling his wife 'pretty girl' with his 'unexpectedly sweet guy' side. In addition, you can see national actor Lee Deok-hwa's human-filled life story in this broadcast, including memories with his father who first taught him how to fish, memories of his father right before his death, and even his deep inner feelings related to his family.
