Popular Korean Actor Shocks With Confession, ‘I Have 500 Million Won Debt’
Popular actor Lee Yi Kyung confessed that he has a debt of 500 million won [$345,014].
On the 27th of February, the second episode of tvN STORY’s “A Billion-Won Breakfast” (hereinafter “Breakfast”) featured Yoon Moon Hyun, the CEO of Honey Butter Almond, which gained attention for collaborating with the world-famous billionaire Mansour.
That early morning, Dr. Oh Eun Young and actor Lee Yi Kyung visited CEO Yoon Moon Hyun’s house.
The first thing Lee Yi Kyung noticed was the lineup of high-performance supercars in the parking lot. Additionally, the unusually large front door caught his attention.
Before the full house tour, Lee Yi Kyung shared that Yoon Moon Hyun’s nut brand has an annual revenue of 110 billion won, leaving everyone in awe.
He then revealed, “This company started with a deficit of 10 billion won.”
Oh Eun Young responded, “Even having just 10 million won in debt feels heavy on the mind.. The first thing you worry about is, ‘How can I overcome this?’ But 10 billion won is an enormous amount of money.”
At this, Lee Yi Kyung shared, “I currently have a loan of 500 million won, and even that makes me feel suffocated,” showing deep empathy.
Curious, Oh Eun Young asked, “Why do you have 500 million won in debt? Don’t you earn well?”
Lee Yi Kyung explained, “You know the saying ‘dung flies’—I got caught up in something bad and invested money in the wrong place, even taking out a loan. I’m going crazy because the interest alone is 2 million won per month.”
The popular actor’s admission surprised many of his fans. We hope he can pay it back soon.
