Actress Lee Jung-eun spoke about her debt.

On the 9th, Lee appeared as a guest on tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block'.

That day, Lee discussed her debt: "When actors are together, I wanted to try something like training. I founded a theater troupe with a rehearsal space. If the productions had been successful, it would have been great, but since both of them failed, I ended up in debt."

She continued, "During my military service days, I met Master Kim Min-ki and gained enough experience to believe I could do it. However, I didn't expect that audiences wouldn't come."

Lee revealed that her debt amounted to 50 million won and that she borrowed money from theater seniors and juniors Woo Hyun, Shin Ha-kyun, Ji Jin-hee, and Kim Soo-jin. She said, "I couldn't meet them in person, so I called instead. 'Ha-kyun, long time no see. You're doing well, it's great to see you. I'm producing a play but urgently need production funds. Could you lend me 10 million won?' They readily lent the money. Ji Jin-hee was similar; she helped without hesitation." She expressed her gratitude.

Lee mentioned that it took 13 years to repay the debt: "When borrowing, I thought I'd repay quickly. But it didn't work out. From then on, I worked part-time jobs. I delivered fresh juice, sold soy sauce, and even though I was older, I tried working as a hotel server."
