Actor Lee Dong-geun has issued a statement regarding the controversy that he neglected the Jeju cafe he operated.

On the 11th, a representative of Lee Dong-geun's agency told StarNews, "The cafe Oasis already ceased operations in July. It has gone through legal closure procedures."

The representative continued, "As far as we know, another store has been operating since August. Since we haven't visited after the business closure, it is difficult to confirm," adding, "Since another shop has already moved in, this is not a matter we can intervene in."

Lee Dong-geun opened a personal cafe in Aewol-eup, Jeju, last April. At that time, he appeared on SBS variety program 'We Are the Best' and revealed his process of preparing to open the cafe, including consulting for a loan of about 200 million won at a bank.

However, in July, the cafe suddenly announced, "We will be taking time for renovation starting July 9. We sincerely thank you for your support and visits during this period," and suspended store operations.

Recently, a video titled "Even Lee Dong-geun failed and left. Don't even dream of living in harsh Jeju" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Kang Ho's Foot TV.' The YouTuber pointed out that this cafe, which had been popular enough to have waiting lines, is now infested with bugs and has been neglected without proper management.

However, the agency stated that operations have already been concluded and the premises tidied up. Additionally, Lee Dong-geun had previously mentioned preparing for business in Seoul, but no specific plans have been disclosed.

Meanwhile, Lee Dong-geun married actress Cho Yoon-hee in 2017 and had a daughter that same year, but they divorced in 2020. He is currently appearing on JTBC's 'Divorce Reflection Camp.'
