Before the release of the National Day blockbuster, the Korean drama "Squid Game" once firmly occupied the top position in the popularity list of the rating website, and the hot search was not less, but compared to the popularity of the series overseas, Chinese netizens were still cold to the "Squid Game" as a whole, one is because the drama is suspected of plagiarism, and the other is because the male protagonist Li Zhengzai is also an "old acquaintance", which naturally lacks a sense of surprise.
Born in 1973, Lee Jeong-jae, who is 48 years old this year, is the youngest Blue Dragon Film Emperor in the history of Korean cinema, and won the Best Actor Award at the age of 23 with the movie "Sunrise City", but compared to other "Chungmuro" actors, Lee Jeong-jae does not care about feathers at all, the quality of his works is uneven, and in 2016, he also came to China to play a supporting role for Zhong Hanliang, starring in a movie with a box office of only more than 78 million.
In this regard, Lee Jeong-jae also has a good idea, bluntly saying that most of the works he took over after returning from retirement have not been successful, and the reason for all this is also related to his growth experience along the way, and he seems to love money more than word of mouth.
He went bankrupt 4 times in his life and owed tens of billions of won in debt to the court
In "Squid Game", Lee Jeong-jae starred as a fallen uncle who was so poor that he wanted to steal the pension of his old mother, which seemed to subvert the image, but to some extent, it was actually a bit of the meaning of acting.
Don't look at Li Zhengzai's appearance is noble, but he himself was born in a bankrupt family, originally because his father had accumulated some family assets by practicing medicine for generations, but he did not expect to be consumed by his grandfather, which was also the first time That Li Zhengzai experienced bankruptcy, plus Li Zhengzai's brother suffered from autism, he had to take charge of the poor children early, not even read books, and came out to work to support the family from a young age.
In such a family environment, Li Zhengzai's life is also very bitter, every day only to drink the mind, so that the coffee shop owner he works for can't look down, looking at Li Zhengzai's height of 180cm, simply suggested that he be a model, did not expect that Li Zhengzai really received a chocolate advertisement, and also took this opportunity to enter the entertainment circle.
In 2015, Lee Jeong-jae and his mother were accused of refusing to repay debts, it turned out that as early as 1995, Lee Jeong-jae's mother borrowed money from a rich businessman many times under his banner, borrowing nearly 200 million won in just three years, and then Lee Jeong-jae took the initiative to contact the rich businessman, repaid about one-third of the debt, and got a promise that Lee Jeong-jae's mother would repay the remaining loan, but Lee Jeong-jae's mother not only did not fulfill the promise, but played and disappeared.
In 2005, the rich businessman could not bear to sue Lee Jeong-jae and his mother in court, Lee Jeong-jae appeared in court with his mother, and promised to help his mother repay the money, provided that the rich businessman withdrew the lawsuit, the rich businessman believed the Li family mother and son again, but once again could not find anyone, until the rich businessman applied for a compulsory payment order, Li Zhengzai's family completely repaid the remaining arrears.
Subsequently, Lee Jeong-jae also took the initiative to mention this matter in the interview, admitting that his mother had a debt problem, and to the point of deficit, which was also the second time that Lee Jeong-jae experienced bankruptcy, but then he immediately experienced a third bankruptcy, just at the same time as his mother's bankruptcy, his brokerage company also went bankrupt and collapsed...
But fortunately, Lee Jeong-jae's career luck is still good, with his starring in the movie explosion, he gradually becomes more work, and even has spare money to invest in the side business, and then the "bankruptcy" of this matter comes to him personally, in 2015 Lee Jeong-jae was accused of dereliction of duty in court, this time the situation is slightly more complicated.
Lee Jeong-jae's side business is also different, he did not open a hot pot restaurant nor a dessert shop, but invested in a construction company, and got a large group of real estate development projects, but Lee Jeong-jae's family did not have any talent for business, let alone luck, and finally Lee Jeong-jae Investment Company owed a debt of up to 10 billion won, although this debt was eventually waived by Lee Hye-kyung, vice president of the group, but it brought greater criticism to Lee Jeong-jae.
Was exposed to wander the circle of rich women, willing to be the lover of the chaebol Qianjin for 5 years
The tens of billions of won debt is forgiven, and although Lee Jung-jae was not punished in the end in law, it still left a moral flaw.
Coincidentally, the person who waived Lee Jung-jae's debt was a female high-level, and the wealthy businessman who previously lent money to the Mother and Son of the Lee family was said to be also a woman, but in early 2015, south Korea's well-known gossip media exposed Lee Jung-jae's relationship with the chaebol Qianjin Lin Shiling.
Lin Shiling is the daughter of South Korea's top ten richest people Lin Changyu, her mother is also from a chaebol family, and she also has a more well-known identity, that is, the ex-wife of the heir of the Samsung Group, which is also one of the famous marriages in the Korean magnate circle, the reasons for the divorce of the two are untestable, there are many rumors, including the two people who look like they are separated from each other, at this time Lee Jeong-jae looms in the rumors.
In short, in the end, Lin Shiling took away hundreds of billions of won from the Samsung Group, and returned to her own group in 2012 to quickly become a high-level, at this time she and Lee Jeong-jae have been rumored for at least two years.
It was not until 2015 that Lee Jeong-jae and Lin Shiling finally officially announced their relationship, admitting that they had been together for a while, but firmly stated that the two were only friends before, and their feelings had only recently warmed up.
Subsequently this year, Li Zhengzai also issued a statement of addiction, successively denied the debt forgiveness, marriage at the end of the year, etc., the whole person became more and more innocent, and then Li Zhengzai completely took a low-key route, if it were not for the fact that there was a passerby doll who met him and Lin Shiling to travel together, the outside world thought that the two had broken up.
Until 2019, Lee Jeong-jae and Lin Shiling finally participated in the los Angeles County Museum of Art activities together, which was also the first time that the two participated in public activities together, and after waiting for 5 years, Lee Jeong-jae finally walked from behind to the front of the stage.
Just involving the love affair of the chaebol giants, it is impossible to be completely simple, and the issue of inheritance alone needs to be carefully considered, so even if Li Zhengzai is 48 years old this year and has been in love with Lin Shiling for more than 7 years, they still have not married and have not had children.
And Lee Jung-jae's attitude toward marriage in the interview was also very subtle, at that time he had not yet officially announced with Lin Shiling, saying that marriage was not necessary, but after a friend who was not familiar with him echoed and said, "You have nothing to marry", he accidentally sent a nameless fire, it is obvious that he still has a desire for marriage and family.
It's just that "a drink and a peck will have to lose", and the chaebol Qianjin love always has to bear more, in recent years, Li Zhengzai has also turned his attention to the development of the acting career, and the reputation has gradually rebounded, and finally he wishes him and Lin Shiling can always be happy, and also hopes that he can bring more good works to the audience.
