Actor Lee Jung-jae (53) revealed that he had suspended his acting activities this year due to a skin problem, and announced that he is entering the cosmetics industry.
In a video posted on his social media account on Friday, Lee said, “My skin condition deteriorated significantly starting last fall,” adding, “The situation was so severe that I simply could not continue filming, which forced me to take a break for the entire year.”
He expressed regret, saying, “I had planned to work hard on projects such as films and dramas this year as well, but I was unable to do so.”
Lee explained that while dealing with his skin issues, he began developing cosmetics specifically for people who share similar concerns.
“Starting a cosmetics business may seem out of the blue, but my concerns about my skin were truly profound,” he said.
He added, “The launch is just around the corner, and I am nervous as if a film is about to be released. It feels like it has been a long time since I experienced this kind of feeling. We will also hold many events to create opportunities to meet you directly, so please pay attention.”
