Actor Jang Dong-ju suddenly declared his retirement from acting.

On the 15th, Jang Dong-ju stated, "As of today, I am choosing to lay down my life as actor Jang Dong-ju. Although I am leaving the stage, I will never forget the hearts you have given me. I sincerely thank you for loving actor Jang Dong-ju until now."

Jang Dong-ju said, "Living as an actor for a long time, I received so much love and support. Every moment of smiling and crying in front of the camera was the most shining time in my life. I sincerely thank the directors, staff, and fellow actors who believed in and stood by me. Most of all, thanks to the fans who always stayed by my side, I was able to walk happily until the end."

Debuting in the 2012 play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Jang Dong-ju has appeared in dramas such as "School 2017," "Revenge of Others," "Mr. Part-time," "I'll Be Your Night," "Trigger," and films "Honest Candidate," "Count," and "Handsome Guys."

Recently, on January 29, Jang Dong-ju revealed on his SNS that he received a call from an unknown number and discovered his mobile phone had been completely hacked, confessing to suffering from hacking and extortion.

He disclosed, "I borrowed money by any means necessary. My family even sold their house for me. Due to the sudden debt, more debt piled up, and I lost billions of won. I ended up sitting on a mountain of debt," adding to the sorrow.

Additionally, in November last year, Jang Dong-ju posted a black screen with the message "I am sorry" on SNS and disappeared, raising concerns. However, about a month later, in December, he signed an exclusive contract with a new agency and announced his resumption of activities. Yet, just one month after signing the exclusive contract, he again announced the termination of his contract with the new agency.
