Following the theme, the interviewers discussed business, economics, and Lee Je Hoon’s personal thoughts and insights on the matter.

Like many actors in Korea, Lee Je Hoon manages his own business and assets. He further revealed, “Since I’ve been running a company since 2021, there have been many times when I’ve been emotionally agitated and expressed my troubles.
