Celebrity Cafes in Jeju See Mixed Fates: Lee Dong-gun Closes Temporarily, Lee Sang-soon Shuts Down, Park Han-byul Continues

Celebrities who ventured into the cafe business on the popular tourist island of Jeju have experienced vastly different fates. Lee Dong-gun's cafe announced a temporary closure for reorganization, citing gratitude to customers in a social media post on July 6. The notice stated the establishment would be taking a break to regroup.

Meanwhile, singer Lee Sang-soon, husband of actress Lee Hyori, has permanently closed his cafe. The details surrounding his closure were not provided, but it marks the end of his venture. In contrast, actress Park Han-byul's cafe continues to operate, representing a successful endeavor among the celebrity-owned establishments on the island.

“

We express our gratitude to the customers who visited, and we will be taking time for reorganization as of July 9.

The varying results highlight the challenges and unpredictable nature of the hospitality industry, even for those with established public profiles. While some ventures thrive, others, like Lee Dong-gun's temporary pause and Lee Sang-soon's permanent closure, underscore the difficulties in sustaining such businesses.

We sincerely thank everyone who has cherished and visited our store.
