Entertainment stars were also unable to avoid the aftermath of the coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Self-employed stars such as Hong Seok-cheon, Lee Jong-seok, and Oh Jeong-yeon have recently declared their business shut down due to business deterioration due to Corona 19.

On the 3rd, broadcaster Oh Jung-yeon announced the closing of his cafe through social media (SNS). He has been running a cafe in Sinsu-dong, Mapo-gu since May last year.

Oh Jung-yeon said, “I endured with affection while enduring the difficulties encountered with Corona 19, and an unexpected variable encountered at the time of the lease renewal became an inflection point and decided to close the business.”

Actor Hong Seok-cheon announced through several broadcasts last year that all stores operated in Itaewon were closed. Remembering the last day the store was closed, he said, “I felt like all the history that had been in Itaewon was cut off, so I came home alone and cried.”

Singer Kang Won-rae, who ran a bar in Itaewon, closed the store in November of last year and met with Ahn Cheol-soo, CEO of the People’s Party, to complain of the damages of self-employed people. At that time, he said, “K-pop is the world’s number one, quarantine is last,” he said, clarifying that the controversy erupted after a controversy over the government’s quarantine policy.

Comedians Lee Eun-hyung and Kang Jae-joon also announced that the store that was operating in Yeonnam-dong, Mapo-gu, will be closed last year on SBS TV’Baek Jong-won’s Alley Restaurant’. They said, “It took several weeks to do the interior, but it took less than an hour to close the business. I cried when I smashed it all up.”

In addition, it is known that actors Lee Jong-seok and comedian Ki-soo Byeon also closed their stores in the aftermath of Corona 19.

According to the 2020 annual employment trend released by the National Statistical Office, the number of self-employed non-wage workers among non-wage workers decreased by 165,000 from a year ago, and the number of self-employed without employees increased by 90,000. This is analyzed because a self-employed person fired an employee due to business difficulties and operated or closed the store alone.
