On the 27th, Lee Ki-yong posted on his SNS page, "He was once a top model and now he is working at a restaurant. It's not the boss, it's the employee." "It's okay if your life changes." I'm also living like this, so let's cheer up. He also released a video of his recent situation.
The video shows Lee Ki-yong's present, which is completely different from his glamorous appearance on the runway when he was a model. With his hair tied and his apron on, he shocked the restaurant by moving a box of alcohol, organizing the dishes left by the customer, wiping the table and even washing the dishes.
Lee Ki-yong also frankly revealed why he left the past and focused on restaurant work. He said "Unlike his strong image, low self-esteem and people's expectations were always burdensome"I wanted to run away because the gap was big, and I was afraid that I would be caught looking shabby.", he confessed. He also expressed his outspoken sincerity, adding, `Before entering the restaurant, it was also a food delivery day.'
Lee entered the modeling world in 2002 by winning first place in the SBS Super Model Contest. Since then, he has served as a number of advertising models and appeared in movies 'Muyeonggeom' and 'Muyeong Manura3' and also acted as an actor, but he has virtually disappeared from the entertainment industry since 2011 'Operation'.
