Broadcaster Lee Ji-hee shared her current status while confessing about the financial hardships she faced after her broadcasting activities came to a halt.

On the 2nd, a video featuring broadcaster Lee Ji-hee was released on the YouTube channel 'Lee Seong-mi's Can't Go,' in which she explained the reason for her disappearance from the broadcasting industry and shared updates on her recent life.

On that day, Lee Ji-hee stated, "Since I debuted in 1997, I am almost a 30-year veteran," adding, "These days, I am not doing broadcasting; I am running a company."

She further explained the period when her broadcasting activities decreased, saying, "It seems like I gradually stopped about 8 to 9 years ago, and completely stopped abruptly 3 to 4 years ago."

Lee Ji-hee revealed that she once sustained her livelihood through home shopping broadcasts, but subsequently, the programs she appeared on disappeared one after another. She said, "In the end, even the home shopping channels closed down, leaving only one Christian broadcast," and added, "That was truly just a stopgap measure. In terms of household economics, that was the extent of it."

Her financial difficulties also led to a decrease in meetings with acquaintances. Lee Ji-hee confessed, "In the past, I always paid for meals. But when friends suggested meeting up, I didn't go out much because I didn't have money to buy food."

She particularly revealed that the most difficult period was when her child was in their third year of high school. Lee Ji-hee shared, "Economically, we were living on the edge month by month, but my child was in their senior year of high school and wanted to study, yet I could not afford to let them."

She continued, "My child matured early and said they would study alone. But at some point, they started looking at me for cues," adding, "They would set aside workbooks that cost 200,000 to 300,000 won to pay for, and asking 'Mom, can I buy this?' was too heartbreaking."

Lee Ji-hee added, "While saying that a mother could buy workbooks, she felt anxious when the credit card bill came due."

She also revealed that her health deteriorated at the time due to rheumatism. Lee Ji-hee stated, "My fingers would not bend, so I could do nothing. I couldn't brush my teeth or use chopsticks," and lamented, "Since they didn't let me use my hands on broadcasts, I felt like I couldn't do anything."

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hee revealed that she entered the business world with the start of accessory production and is currently running a company.
