Tei Clarifies His Comment
On the recent episode of MBC’s Entertainment Program ‘Radio Star’, which aired on the 4th, actor In Gyo-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, singer Tei, and comedian Heo Kyung-hwan appeared as guests.
During the show, Kim Gu-ra asked Tei, “Do you still think being a celebrity is a breeze?”
Tei had previously garnered attention for commenting on another show about the challenges of self-employment, saying, “Being a celebrity is a breeze. Anyone watching TV will agree that trying another job for just a month will show you.”
Tei explained, “I didn’t know the term ‘breeze’ would make it to the broadcast,” and continued, “Singer Lee Seok-hoon seemed interested in doing business, and it started with saying that singing is a breeze.”
He clarified, “There are still misunderstandings, and I’m clearing them up as I go. What I meant was, ‘What you’ve been doing is the best. It’s not easy to embark on a different venture leaving behind what you’ve accumulated.'”
From Singer to Entrepreneur
Tei ventured into business by opening a gourmet burger shop in 2018, which reportedly exceeds an annual revenue of 1 billion KRW.
