Actress Lee Soo-kyung (44) told her story of her retirement due to business failure.
On the 12th, Lee Soo-kyung said on her YouTube channel 'Lee Soo-experienced job', 'It turns out that she is a self-employed worker with experience?! He posted a video titled "The Story of the Retirement Crisis Revealed at Online Homes."
In the video, Lee Soo-kyung said, "In the case of the job as an actor, isn't it freelance. You don't know when and how things will get cut off, and if this drama ends right away, you may not be able to work next year or in the second half of this year. Then what do I eat to live on. That's why I always live with the hope that I have a fixed income," he said.
Soon, he said, "What can I do?" and I had a cafe with izakaya. (Izakaya) drew attention by confessing, "I did it with Chef Kang Leo."
Lee Soo-kyung said, "But I'm not good at cooking. That was the problem. I just thought I could leave it up to the professional, because I can't always stay in the store. There was a lot of risk there. I didn't know anything, so I didn't have any coping skills when something happened. I burned my money and set it up in Cheongdam-dong. I was an investor. (Investment) is the amount of money that will fall by the neck. If you reveal it, you can suddenly swear," he recalled of the painful past.
In addition, Lee Soo-kyung said, "When I was doing izakaya, I even opened a brunch cafe. It was about 80 pyeong near the Leeum Museum of Art in Itaewon, a hot place. The monthly rent was high. At that time, there was no gallery-concept cafe. I was so unfamiliar at the time, so I failed," he said.
Lee Soo-kyung said, "That was when I was 32. That's why youth is good. I can never do it now. I was very sick from a series of business failures. "I had a skin disease in my mind, so I couldn't do it even if I came in," he said, adding that he spent a five-year hiatus after failing to self-employment.
In particular, Lee Soo-kyung said, "Should I look for another job, but I thought a lot. I had no choice but to retire. "Because (the skin disease) was too severe," he said, adding to his sadness.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-kyung is starring as actor Park Sung-woong (Seong Tae-hoon) and wife Jo Mi-ryo in KBS 2TV's Thursday drama "Yeonri-ri, Shimwoo-myeon."
