Jeon Wook-min, younger brother of actress Jeon So-min, has quit his job as a sports trainer, which he had held for over 10 years, and is now preparing to make a comeback by working part-time in food delivery.

On the 15th, Jeon Wook-min shared on his Instagram, "I have quit the work I had been doing for over 10 years," honestly revealing his current situation and past experiences.

Jeon Wook-min recalled, "I also had my own golden period." He added, "Since childhood, I loved sports, which naturally led me to study physical education, serve in the military, and work as a trainer. From age 26 to 31, I worked hard, saving every penny to open a center. At first, things went well. It seemed like I would become rich soon if I kept going."

However, when COVID-19 struck, the situation changed drastically. He said, "I learned that not everything goes as planned. Sales plummeted due to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, and I became increasingly anxious."

In his desperation, he also failed in a protein business started with funds from a credit card loan. He remarked, "There's an old saying: 'Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry.' I think I took things too lightly, thinking, 'I've been doing sports for a long time and have built my body.' Looking back now, I may have underestimated everything."

He continued, "As expected, the protein business I started without any plan failed. I struggled day by day with credit card interest, debt, and rent payments. The thought that 'tomorrow will be better' grew fainter as days passed, and eventually, I decided to quit sports, stop working as a trainer, and close my center."

He stated that he currently has neither saved money nor an impressive resume. "Many people tell me not to overdo it and live quietly," he said, "but I will keep fighting until the end." He added, "So that one day I can look back on this moment with a smile, I am running today as well."

Previously, Jeon Wook-min drew attention on the 11th when he mentioned his sister Jeon So-min on his Instagram.

At that time, he said, "My sister is a famous actress. Since she's a celebrity, her money has nothing to do with me. All of it belongs to my sister because she earned it."

After some interpreted this as meaning he had not received help from his sister, he clarified, "Of course, my sister's money is not mine. However, I never said that I did not receive any help from her."

He further explained, "Due to the failure of my business, I did receive help from my sister. My business collapsed, I was mentally broken, and living a pitiful life. My sister gave me practical help without saying a word for her pitiful younger brother."

Meanwhile, Jeon Wook-min first gained public recognition by appearing on the 2017 SBS variety program 'Running Man' Family Special. In 2022, he appeared on the Channel A variety program 'Cheonha Jeiljangsa'.
