It was reported on the 23rd that former model Lee Gi-yong has revealed his feelings about soon leaving the restaurant job.
Recently, Lee Gi-yong posted on his social media (SNS), "I've been feeling somewhat unsettled these days. The environment hasn't changed, but knowing it will soon makes my heart feel a bit uneasy," and added, "Due to the company's difficult decision, I will also be preparing to leave the position." He continued, "Since this decision was conveyed to me, I plan to do my best quietly until the given time. Although I wasn't fully prepared for this announcement, I believe many have felt this anxious feeling at least once."
Lee Gi-yong debuted in 2002, winning the grand prize at the SBS Super Model Contest. He has also made grants in films such as "The Shadowless Sword" and "The Gangster's Wife 3." After a period of hiatus from entertainment activities, Lee Gi-yong revealed his current job as a restaurant employee through SNS last May. At that time, he said, "I was once a top model, and now I work in a restaurant. I am not the owner; I am an employee. It's okay if life changes. Since I am living like this, let's stay strong."
In expressing his feelings about leaving the restaurant job, Lee Gi-yong wrote, "I sincerely support and deeply respect the weight of the self-employed individuals who are holding their positions and enduring even at this moment." He added, "Having worked in the restaurant for nearly three years and running straight ahead, I believe this pause will definitely be a grateful time for me," and stated, "It's okay if it's not perfect. Being together can give us courage more than being alone."
