Recently, Kim Jun-hee's YouTube channel posted a video titled 「Now I can tell the story」.
Kim Joon-hee, who debuted in 1994 and worked in the entertainment industry, said, `I can't do this forever. How long can I be a celebrity? I thought I should run a business, so I wanted to run a clothing store for my mom. My mother is a designer and has been in the fashion business for a long time. My mom set up a small clothing store because she just begged me. I was taking things off at Dongdaemun and it turned out so well"It was 2002 and sales were 10 million won a day. You can't just stay in Dongdaemun because your shoulders are shrugged. I should go to Italy So I brought my clothes" he said.
Kim Jun-hee said "But I couldn't sell any. People were comfortably buying clothes in the range of 12,000 won and suddenly selling clothes worth 300,000 won to 400,000 won, and they went out like what. Did they sell two a week? But I needed money, so I borrowed it from a loan shark. I borrowed 30 million won. An older brother I know was making a bond. We were so close that I borrowed it without a doubt, but one day he said he wouldn't pay me back. When I told him to wait for me because I didn't have money, he suddenly changed 180 degrees and became a gangster and threatened me."

In response, Kim Jun-hee said, `I went to Dongdaemun, got one or two tickets on credit, sold them, received credit with the money I earned, and got up again when I bought and filled them up in Dongdaemun.' However, it was difficult to keep the store going due to the timing and jealousy of the people around him. Kim Junhee says "Can't I sell clothes on the Internet? So I bought a book without any help and made a shopping mall by myself for a year"It surprised me by saying.
Meanwhile, Kim Joon-hee married a non-celebrity man who was younger in 2020 and is currently running a shopping mall together.
