After Alexander Lee revealed that his father was diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer, he further expressed all his emotions in his social media account.
He said, "This experience was painful to me, and it has really changed something in me... my way of thinking of life, my mindset, my future, etc. But as long as I’m in the showbiz, I really ask God to allow me to be the light and salt; to share His love with all of you."
Alexander admitted that fame is a good thing, but most especially if used for a good cause.
"I admit that popularity makes me feel good because it feels like an acknowledgment from the public. But honestly, I’m really not into fame, because I know that fame doesn’t make me happy n will never last long; unlike God’s words which last forever. Such unhungry nature of mine is actually considered not showbiz-suitable to survive. But I’m sure that God kept me in the showbiz for a certain purpose, and I’ll be humbly serving Him wherever He leads me."
Ironically, Alexander's character, Jun Ho, in My Korean Jagiya is also dealing with the fate of knowing someone who is close to him is suffering from cancer (Cindy played by Valeen Montenegro)
Alexander's fans expressed their love and offered prayers for the recovery of his father.
The Korean actor showed his gratitude by sharing words of encouragement and reminding everyone to cherish every moment with important people in our lives.
"Thank you for reading this long message. If u read all, hope it’ll make u think differently too. For those whose family is suffering from sickness, I pray in Jesus’ name that you will have peace and strong faith to overcome the tough moments. What doesn’t kill u makes u stronger. Also, please cherish your family members, friends, and loved ones. Cherish them like there is no tomorrow with them, alright? Love you all and God bless. XOXO, Xander."
