Actor Lee Byeong-wook shared recent updates on his continued pursuit of acting while working in cosmetics sales.

On the 10th, MBN's 'Special World' featured Lee Byeong-wook, a veteran actor with 32 years of experience who has appeared in historical dramas such as 'Jung Do-jeon' and 'Geunchogo'.

That day, Lee Byeong-wook spoke about his current life as a cosmetics sales representative, stating, "It wasn't easy at first. Some people have preconceived notions that an actor who doesn't act is selling cosmetics, but most of them view it positively."

He further added, "I have a family and a wife; what is there to be embarrassed about? I must endure." He reaffirmed his determination.

Lee Byeong-wook lost nearly 1 billion won through stocks and apartment collateral loans. He confessed, "Since acting work dried up, I was anxious and invested in stocks, but 500 million won disappeared."

He also revealed, "A friend asked me to lend them some money, so I borrowed through an apartment collateral loan. Later, another 400 to 500 million won was lost. I even ran an eel restaurant, but business declined gradually, so I quit after three years." He disclosed a series of misfortunes.

Lee Byeong-wook still finds joy in watching dramas and practicing acting whenever he has time. He said, "Although I am currently working as a cosmetics salesperson, I have not let go of my passion for acting. I continue to challenge myself and work hard," expressing his dedication to the craft.

Afterward, Lee Byeong-wook visited Daehangno to meet comedian and actor Kim Hak-do, with whom he had a close friendship.

Lee Byeong-wook stated, "I believe those who perform on stage are the best." In response, Kim Hak-do asked him, "You have a handsome face and great acting skills. Are you planning to succeed in business and return to the stage?"

To this, Lee Byeong-wook cautiously replied, "Perhaps it depends on luck. For now, I want to applaud other actors. If opportunities arise later, I think I can act again."
