Actress Sunwoo Yong-yeo revealed the story of disposing of four apartments in Gangnam to run a sewing factory when she immigrated to the United States.

On the 27th, a video titled 「Sunwoo Yong-yeo」 was released on the YouTube channel 'Sunwoo Yong-yeo' titled"Shock Racism (L.A.) that Sunwoo Yong-yeo suffered for 8 years in the United States."

Sunwoo Yong-yeo shared her memories of that time by visiting the house, sewing factory, and Korean restaurant where she lived when she immigrated to Los Angeles (LA) more than 40 years ago.




When asked by the production team, "How did you get to buy a sewing factory?" Sunwoo Yong-yeo recommended that the owner of the sewing factory, whom her husband knew from Seoul, buy the factory. I didn't know anything, but my husband bought it."

He then confessed, "At first, I started selling a house, but the factory didn't work out, so I eventually sold all four houses."

When the production team was surprised that the apartment in Banpo is now worth 5 billion to 6 billion won, Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, `What's the point of thinking about that. It's a long time ago. I don't think about yesterday. "You don't have to think about the past in a headache, but you can enjoy your life today." he said with a calm attitude.




He also revealed his experience working on sewing at a sewing factory himself. Sunwoo Yong-yeo showed a finger scar and had a needle stuck in her hand while working. The wound is still there at that time." After that, he sold the factory and started studying to obtain a real estate certificate, but he said he took over a Korean restaurant at his husband's suggestion.

He "I should have continued studying real estate at that time, but I quit when I started the restaurant. It's a shame to think about it now."

Sunwoo Yong-yeo married the late businessman Kim Se-myung in 1970, had one son and one daughter, and ran a sewing factory and a Korean restaurant after immigrating to the United States. However, he returned empty-handed due to business failure and contract problems, and while working at a hair salon, he was offered to return to acting and continued his career as an actor again. He is currently sharing his daily life and communicating with the public through his YouTube channel.
