Shin Jung-hwan, formerly of the group Country Kkokko, shared his recent updates.

On the 29th, a video titled "Why Shin Jung-hwan, once a successful singer, is working at a restaurant after 16 years of self-reflection" was released on the YouTube channel 'Human Story'.

That day, Shin Jung-hwan introduced, "This is the restaurant I recently opened. I come here to serve customers. Some even ask, 'Is Jang Jae-hoon working here too?' but that's not the case."

He further revealed, "It's been about a month and a half since we opened, and our monthly sales have reached 100 million won. I was surprised. We haven't done any promotion, but many people from the neighborhood have come to visit."

He also added, "At night, I also run a pub that I recently started. I own two establishments, and in the pub, I honestly hold a small share as a model." He continued, "I'm doing many different things. If I had started a business while I was an entertainer, it would have been a huge success."

He then said, "When Country Kkokko was active with hit songs, many chicken franchise proposals came in. It was too difficult, so I couldn't do it. People around me also advised against it. Now, since I've had a long break, I feel like I'm living more actively and diligently."

Shin Jung-hwan was indicted in 2010 on charges of illegal overseas gambling and sentenced to eight months in prison. At the time, he drew public outrage by falsely claiming he had contracted dengue fever to hide the allegations. He was subsequently released on parole in December 2011, six months after being incarcerated.

As a result, he was effectively banned from the broadcasting industry and had to suspend his activities. He laughed, saying, "I unconditionally learned humility. I realized the world goes on well even without me. People around me used to say, 'You're the best,' so I had some arrogance back then. I need to erase those old thoughts."
