Lee Seung Gi — the "Nation's Little Brother" of South Korea for over a decade—is trading in his boy-next-door image for something much bigger.
Recently, the star revealed some un-shirted shots from his turn on TV Chosun's reality program Survival King: Tribal Wars, displaying an impressively cut body that even shocked his wife, actress Lee Da-in.
On social media, with a touch of playfulness, Lee said that he spoke to fellow cast member Min-ho about going shirtless for the swimming scene.
"Me: Min-ho, should I go shirtless for the swim?
Min-ho: Your body isn't bad, but standing next to Amo-ti, are you sure?"

Lee Seung Gi's transformed look can be seen throughout many more of his films, and fans are always excited to see more of the actor who seems to challenge himself on screen even further.
