Recently, South Korea has been in a "two-job" frenzy. Not only the public, but also the artists. Not just for the sake of making money, but as interests and hobbies side-by-business, they are looking for their alternative selves.

Under the boom of side hustle, Korean artists who wear double jobs

Show off your professionalism, not just your celebrity brand

It is not a simple artist brand, but it shows professionalism

First, He Kyung-hwan, who has been in the chicken breast sales business for 11 years, is the representative of the Thujab entertainer. In fact, the public was surprised to see that the chicken breast business had more sales than its income as a gagman. Recently, He kyung-hwan showed off his business revenue, saying, "Sales were 9 billion won three years ago, 17 billion won in sales two years ago, and 35 billion won in sales last year," and "sales in January of this year generated sales of two months last year."

First of all, Xu Qinghuan, who has been engaged in chicken breast sales for 11 years, is a representative of the artist who works both jobs. In fact, it is said that the sales of his chicken breast business are more than the income he earned as a comedy star, which surprised the public. Recently, Heo Kyung-hwan said that sales of his business are rising every year, with sales of 9 billion won three years ago, sales of 17 billion won two years ago, and sales of 35 billion won last year," and "sales in January this year were sales in the two months of last year."

But his business wasn't always flat. This resulted in 3 billion won in debt. When it became known, He kyung-hwan said, "The gagman had to laugh, not burden him, but he thought about it, so he went quietly. I was able to stand up again because of a colleague I believed in, even though I was against a trusted colleague. Thank you for your support and concern. I am so grateful to my customers and those who smile at my gags, and I will broadcast and do business with more care."

But his career hasn't been smooth. The people he worked with stole more than 2 billion won of the company's funds. Hsu Ching-hwan was saddled with a debt of 3 billion won. After the news spread, Xu Qinghuan revealed his state of mind: "Funny artists should bring laughter to the audience, not a burden to the audience, so I endured through that time, and this matter passed so low-key." Although betrayed by my trusted teammates, thanks to my trusted teammates, I was able to get back on my feet. Thank you all for your support and concern. Thank you very much to the customers, and the people who smile at my funny performances, I will be more attentive to the show and do a good job. ”

Some people have opened two films of their lives by running a Chinese restaurant. This is the gagman Lee Bong-won. In one broadcast, Lee Bong-won mentioned a Chinese restaurant operating in Cheonan and said that he had a Chinese and Korean chef certification to do so. His Chinese restaurant is popular enough to generate 4.5 million won in daily sales. Lee Bong-won also confessed that he had a great grievance. It is said that he was closed because his back was not good due to frequent kitchen work. In addition, Lee Bong-won, who lives separated from his family, including his wife, Park Mi-sun, because of his business, said, "I've been living alone for about three years," and "I'm off the shop on Monday, so I'm up when it's open on Sunday. I spend Monday and go down on Tuesday morning," he said. Lee Bong-won started out as a debt, but the restaurant flourished and he even had a plan to expand his business.

There are also people who start the second act of their lives by running Chinese restaurants. He is the comedian Li Fengyuan. In a show, Li Fengyuan mentioned the Chinese restaurant he was running in Tian'an, and said: "I got a chef certificate for Chinese and Korean food for this. His Chinese restaurant sells 4.5 million won a day and is very popular. Li Fengyuan also admitted that it is very hard to hold two positions. It is said that he became ill with frequent kitchen work and had to shut down. In addition, Lee, who had to live separately from his wife Park Mi-sun and other family members because of his career, said: "I have lived alone for about 3 years" and "The shop is closed on Mondays, and I will go to Seoul after the business on Sundays." After Monday, I'll go back on Tuesday morning. Although Li Fengyuan was initially in debt, it is said that as the restaurant business flourished, he even had plans to expand his business.
