Actor Lee Chun-hee Leaves Furniture Company After 13 Years to Focus on Acting

Actor Lee Chun-hee has stepped down from his furniture company, HIbrow, which he co-managed with his brother for 13 years. Lee revealed his departure on his YouTube channel, "Cheon Gae Mi Lee Chun-hee," stating that the decision was driven by a desire to fully commit to his acting career. He explained that managing the brand left him with little time for other pursuits, often forcing him to decline acting or other project proposals. "I decided to focus on my main profession," Lee said, acknowledging the pressure he felt to constantly contribute to the brand's success. He admitted that both he and his brother, lacking prior business experience, were overwhelmed by the brand's popularity and felt compelled to overcommit. Lee recalled the initial joy of creating furniture for personal use and camping, but this evolved into a concern for public reception. "This accumulation of thoughts made me want to do my own work more," he stated. The actor expressed contentment with his current situation, noting the happiness he feels now that he can dedicate all his energy to acting after 13 years of balancing both roles. He described the experience of returning to his craft as "so good" and fulfilling.
