Oh Jeong-yeon Hong Seok-cheon and Gangwon-rae Following the closing of the cafe

Broadcaster Oh Jeong-yeon directly delivered the news of the closing of the cafe.

On the 3rd, Oh Jung-yeon posted on his Instagram on the 3rd, saying, “I’m delivering the news of the closing of the cafe Cherrybly I’ve been running.” “I endured with love while enduring the difficulties faced by the corona. We have made a decision.”

Previously, Hong Seok-cheon, who ran a restaurant in Itaewon, and Kang Won-rae, who had a bar, delivered the news of the closing of the cafe.

Oh Jung-yeon said, “I remember the past days when I sold out a small piece of furniture and filled each sweat, so I felt a lot of heartache for several days.” And revealed regret.

Along with this, there is a picture of Jeong-yeon Oh who directly looks at the counter at the public cafe Cherry Bly and takes orders, and a sign that has gone down due to closure of business.

Oh Jung-yeon seemed to be regretful when the business was closed, saying, “When the signboard was lowered, tears poured out,” and said, “Will the day to write the signboard again? I’ll keep it” as a hashtag.

Jeongyeon Oh himself worked part-time at a cafe, preparing to start a cafe, and founded a cafe in Mapo-gu, Seoul in 2019. When there is no broadcast schedule, they received customers directly from the cafe and showed enthusiasm.

Before the Corona 19 epidemic, KBS Cool FM’s’Park Myung-soo’s radio show’ said, “The business is better than I thought.”

However, as the order to prohibit gatherings was enforced due to Corona 19, the cafe operation was hit directly.

Oh Jeong-yeon, who showed affection for the cafe even after several closures, said in KBS 2TV’The boss’s ears are donkey ears’, saying, “(Shop) 30 million won in deposit and 2 million won per month in the early 20 pyeong.” I am seriously thinking about the existence and existence. I would like to seek advice from the bosses here.”

Prior to Jeong-yeon Oh, Hong Seok-cheon and Kang Won-rae announced that their sales fell sharply due to Corona 19, and were unable to pay rent and closed their business.

Hong Seok-cheon gained fame as a culinary entrepreneur while working in the Itaewon area before the Itaewon boom. However, as Itaewon gained popularity, it was hit directly by a surge in rent, and recently, as sales fell in the aftermath of Corona 19, all seven restaurants that once operated only in Itaewon were organized.

Hong Seok-cheon revealed through SBS’Burning Youth’ how he makes a lunch box to be sent to the Corona 19 screening clinic ahead of the closing of the last store in Itaewon. At the time, Hong Seok-cheon confessed that “there is still a contract and you have to pay the monthly rent,” and “the monthly rent is 9.5 million won.” He said, “It started when it was 3 million won, but the deposit also went up.”

At the same time, after Corona 19, “Sales on a weekday recorded 10 million won, but recently it has dropped to 35,000 won a day,” he said.

Kang Won-rae also launched Moon Night, a bar in Itaewon, for sale last November.

Moon Night is a place that produced the first generation of Korean dances in the 1990s, including the male duo clone where Kang Won-rae was active, Park Nam-jung, Hyun Jin-young, Lee Ju-no, Yang Hyun-seok, Lee Hyun-do, Kim Seong-jae, Park Jin-young, and Lee Sang-min. It showed off its influence enough to be introduced in SBS’Legendary Stage Archive K’, but it disappeared into history after closing. Afterwards, Kang Won-rae opened Moon Night again in Itaewon, attracting attention, but after two years of opening, he gave up operation due to Corona 19.

Afterwards, the content that Kang Won-rae complained about the grievances of self-employed people who felt from Corona 19 and said that “the quarantine is’inferior'” became controversial. As the voices of criticism increased afterwards, Kang Won-rae explained, “It was because feelings became intense when I talked about the grievances of self-employed people at the Itaewon meeting with you in Hongdae, Gangnam Station, and Jongno.”

In addition, Noh Hong-cheol also announced the closure of the bakery cafe’Hong-Cheol Book Bread’ in the summer of last year, and has yet to open its doors again.

The following is the full text of Jeongyeon Oh

This is the news of the closing of the cafe Cherrybly that I have run.

We endured with affection while enduring the difficulties faced by the coronavirus, but the unexpected variable that encountered at the time of the lease renewal became an inflection point and decided to close the business.

I was so bitter for days when I remembered the days when I sold out a small piece of furniture and filled each sweat. However, it was comforting to have been together for 21 months and to take care of each other with respected employees.

We sincerely thank our customers who have visited our store and loved it. The space called Cherrybli doesn’t exist anymore, but the countless relationships and stories that occurred in it will remain in my life. Bye bye…
