Actor Lee Jung-jae revealed that he took a break from acting for approximately one year due to serious skin problems.

On the 13th, Lee Jung-jae posted a video on his social media account, sharing an update after a long time.

In the released video, Lee Jung-jae greeted fans by saying, "It is already November 13 today. The year 2026 is almost over. How have you all been?"

He continued, "I had planned to work hard on film and drama projects this year as well, but my skin condition deteriorated significantly starting last fall," adding, "The situation became so serious that I was simply unable to continue filming, forcing me to take a break for the entire year."

Lee Jung-jae, who unexpectedly had to halt his acting activities, revealed that he took on new challenges during his rest period. He stated that he directly developed cosmetics that can be used by people with similar skin concerns as himself.

Lee Jung-jae mentioned that the launch of the cosmetics is just a few days away, sharing his thoughts by saying, "I am quite nervous, much like when a film release is approaching."

He also revealed that he has been considering whether to reveal photos from when his skin condition was poor. He said, "My staff suggested revealing old photos, but I absolutely refused," adding, "I felt that seeing my bad skin would be overwhelming for everyone."

Nevertheless, he added, "I think it might provide hope and courage by showing that even someone with poor skin like me can improve," stating that he would consider the matter a bit more before deciding whether to release the photos.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-jae gained worldwide popularity through the Netflix series "Squid Game." He has not met audiences with a new work since the tvN drama "Yal-mi-un Sarang" ended last December.
