Actor Lee Jeong-seok has revealed the reason behind closing his bakery in Seongbuk-dong.

On the 5th, a video titled "The Day I Was Summoned to Meet Senior Jewelry-jeong" was uploaded on Hwang Jung-eum's YouTube channel.

When Lee Jeong-seok met Hwang Jung-eum that day, he began by saying, "I ran the bakery because of my second son. He went out and lived elsewhere while my wife and I worked from opening to closing every single day. My wife did everything."

He continued, "My son would come out around 10 a.m., then head off to exercise by 5 p.m. So I told him, 'When you finish exercising, come back and handle the closing.' But he wouldn't do it because he trusted his mom. My wife said her joints hurt from kneading bread every day."

He added, "After warning my son several times, we finally closed the shop for real and told him, 'From now on, you must forge your own path.' After that, my son started looking into various options and asked, 'Could you possibly lend me some kitchen equipment?' When I asked what he would do in return, he replied, 'I'll pay a certain amount from the store's profits as a rental fee.'"

Lee Jeong-seok smiled, saying, "When we ran the bakery together, my son disliked using my name. But now that he's running things alone, perhaps feeling regretful, he asked, 'Could you be our model?'"

He then offered parenting advice to Hwang Jung-eum: "It's wrong for a parent to say, 'Why don't you try this?' before the child even brings it up. The child must think about it themselves and decide."
