Actor Lee Cheon-hee (47) has shared news of her 'resignation.' She is expected to step down from her furniture CEO position after 13 years and focus on her main career.

Lee Cheon-hee announced her resignation from the furniture company through her YouTube channel 'Cheon-gae-mi Lee Cheon-hee' on the 18th. She launched the company in 2013 together with her architect younger sister, Lee Se-hee.

In the video, Lee Cheon-hee said, "Recently, my friends tell me that my 'second golden age' has arrived. They ask why I'm suddenly so busy with dramas, variety shows, and plays. There are reasons for everything. For about 13 years, while running the furniture company, I didn't have much leisure time, and there were things I had to handle immediately, so I had to turn down some projects."

She then added, "So, I stepped down and resigned as of last December. I decided to resign with the thought of 'let's be faithful to my main career.' As a member of the company, I had a sense of responsibility to do something, so I prepared events and handled planning. Doing so much of that made me feel like I couldn't focus on my main career, so I felt a decision was necessary."

She continued, "It was work I did for 13 years, and whether I did well or not, I worked hard," reflecting on her past time as CEO.

She then said, "It's been so much fun recently. After doing two jobs simultaneously for 13 years, it's good to focus solely on plays now. I'm so happy while performing in 'Beginning' this time," revealing her passion for acting.

Lee Cheon-hee recently returned to the stage for plays after six years with 'Beginning.'

Meanwhile, Lee Cheon-hee married actor Jeon Hye-jin, who is nine years her junior, in March 2011. She welcomed a daughter in July of that year.
