[더팩트ㅣ김샛별 기자] In front of Corona 19 (coronavirus infection), public stars are no exception. Hong Seok-cheon, Kang Won-rae, Lee Jong-seok, Byeon Gi-soo, etc., announced the closing of the business due to the worsening of Corona 19, and Oh Jeong-yeon eventually joined the ranks of closure.
On the 3rd, Jungyeon Oh shared the news of the closing of the cafe, which he had been running for about two years, through his SNS. It has been three months since the news of business suspension due to the aftermath of Corona 19 in November last year.
Oh Jung-yeon said, “We endured with deep affection despite corona difficulties, and the unexpected variable that encountered at the time of the lease renewal became an inflection point and decided to close the business.” He added, “I remember the past days when I sold out a small piece of furniture and filled each sweat,” he said. “I tried to laugh when I was organizing the furniture, but when I put down the sign, tears spilled out” added.
Businesses that famous celebrities have been doing as a side job for a long time are either closed or stopped operating, as well as a decrease in the return rate due to the prolonged corona 19. They are larger than ordinary self-employed people and have suffered fatal blows.
Hong Seok-cheon, who had been in the restaurant business in Itaewon alone for 18 years and once operated up to 7 restaurants, closed the last remaining store in August of last year. This is because they could not afford the high monthly rent and operating loss amid Corona 19. Hong Seok-cheon said, “I have overcome all the crises such as the financial crisis and MERS, but in front of the corona it is difficult for me to endure.”
Kang Won-rae, a former group clone, also gave up operating a lounge pub in Itaewon. In late April, he had a hard time operating the store due to the corona19 group infection from Itaewon, and through SNS in November, he said, “I’m looking for someone to take over the store.”

Actor Lee Jong-seok even disposed of the building after stopping the brunch cafe that opened in 2017. It was Lee Jong-seok, who had a love for cafe management enough to buy old houses and even remodel them, saying, “It was a long-awaited business,” but it is said that he suffered great difficulties in management due to the prolonged corona 19.
Regarding the closing of the business, the brunch café side said, “The store could not operate normally for a long time due to Corona 19. Since we knew that it was more than a café, we took measures such as long-term closure, but it is difficult to operate anymore due to various practical problems. I came to a conclusion.”
Comedian Byeon Ki-soo also closed the Dakbokkeumtang restaurant, which was also in operation. Byun Ki-soo, who closed business at the end of December, said, “My youngest brother started it for the first time, and my wife took over three years ago and has been doing business at the same place for over five years, but I’ve been able to say my last greetings.” .
Corona 19 has changed many things in modern society. In particular, the damage to self-employed people who were hit directly by the reduced consumption was inevitably greater. Among these, self-employed celebrities are unable to avoid the aftermath.
