Lee Seung Gi showed his gratitude to actress Lee Yeon Hee during the press conference for their new MBC drama 'Book of the House of Gu' held at the 63 Building in Yeouido, Seoul on the 2nd.

Lee Seung Gi shared, "Lee Yeon Hee only features in around three episodes, but she really worked hard without rest. She had a lot of hardship as she poured in emotions from a 20-episode drama into that short period. I don't know her personal number, so I want to thank her now."

Lee Yeon Hee previously received criticism for her behavior during a script reading for the drama, and it seems that trustworthy Lee Seung Gi was defending her honor with his message of gratitude to the actress.

'Book of the House of Gu', also starring miss A's Suzy, will premiere on the 8th at 9:55PM KST!
