Lee Yong-sik, 265 pyeong of small theater in Cheongdam-dong, lost a lot of business, the same as Im Debt (Sadang-gui)



'Deodang-gui' Lee Yong-sik confessed to the sad closure relay.

KBS2's entertainment program 'The boss's ears are donkey ears', which aired on the 3rd, showed Lee Soon-sil ahead of the restaurant's opening.

Lee Soon-sil, who is about to open the restaurant, went to buy used kitchenware. This is the place where Kim Byung-hyun stopped by when he closed his hamburger store. In response, Lee Yong-sik agrees that he has experienced three business closures and "I like fishing. I went fishing on Jeju Island three to four times a month and opened an octopus restaurant. But I was thinking about going once a month because of my schedule in Seoul. So, I gradually paid my employees' salaries and gave them the price of goods with the money I earned from broadcasting and events" he vented. When Jeon Hyun-moo said "It's the same as Im-debt", Lee Yong-sik said "It was heartbreaking to see Im-debt."

This was not the only one. Lee Yong-sik, who has also opened a wheat noodle restaurant, has set it up with a very large acreage. It's 100 pyeong. At that time, I didn't even know there was a used product. I bought everything new, but I folded it in 8 months. I couldn't go down because of my schedule." When Kim Sook said "I think the loss would have been large", Lee Yong-sik surprised everyone by saying "The loss in the latter part is greater than this".

As for the third business closure, "It was a pity that the seniors disappeared from the program. The expensive 265-pyeong comedy theater was set up at Cheongdam-dong intersection. But after 8 days of opening, COVID-19 came"It caused pity.

Lee Yong-sik "There were only 15 employees. I can't just tell them to take a break, but I wanted to take a break by giving them a few months' salary in advance. I went to work alone for a year in a closed theater. At that time, I thought it would pass by quickly"If it's gloomy, the owner told me to clean it up. So I gave the remaining equipment as it was. When I came out, I didn't even look back and closed the store."
