EXID member Hye-rin (33, Seo Hye-rin) recently revealed that she has become the owner of a taco shop with monthly sales of 140 million won, sparking widespread attention.

On the 19th, singer Chao Lu's YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "Monthly sales of 140 million won Won (President)! We brought EXID Hye-rin... She really worked hard as an employee."

Chao Lu added, "Recently, there was a huge article about this in China. They said our EXID Hye-rin became a shop owner and hit it big. So I came to Korea to meet her. Please enjoy watching."

In the video, Chao Lu greeted guest Hye-rin with "Seo (President), hello."

Hye-rin responded, "Recently, I've become a taco shop owner and am also an 'N-jobber.' I'm doing musicals, working as a DJ, and creating songs."

Chao Lu asked, "I saw news online in China saying Hye-rin is doing very well in business. How did you start the taco shop?"

Hye-rin explained, "Actually, I've always been very interested in the food industry. There was a gathering where I met the owner of a taco shop I often visited. He mentioned there was a great location available in An-guk and asked if I wanted to join him, so we started together."

Hye-rin then shared her struggles, saying, "Employees can quit anytime, but if an owner quits, the business collapses."

Chao Lu asked, "Isn't managing employees difficult?" Hye-rin replied, "Since I'm an N-jobber, it's hard to do everything alone. There is one more person who helps me manage things."

When asked, "Doesn't every shop succeed right away? What's the secret to your immediate success as a first-time owner?" Hye-rin said, "In my opinion, the location must be good first. You also need to consider the margin you expect and ensure it's enjoyable. However, pricing is the most challenging part because there are many real costs involved."

Hye-rin also confessed, "I have a lot of part-time work experience. Thinking back, before 'Up & Down' became popular, we were unemployed too."

She recalled, "Twelve years ago, when my contract ended, people just drank and slept all day, which made me feel depressed. I decided I needed a reason to get up, so I re-enrolled in school. However, due to COVID-19, it became an online school. So I found a part-time job at an Italian restaurant near my home, went through an interview, and started working."

Hye-rin added, "I was afraid people might think, 'Oh, she has nothing else to do, so she's doing this.' But instead of that reaction, people said, 'She must be taking a break.' That was shocking. I realized people aren't as interested in others' affairs as I thought and don't judge them the way I imagined."

Hye-rin debuted as an EXID member in 2012. EXID gained immense popularity after their 2014 release "Up & Down" became a reverse-hit phenomenon.
