Heo Young-ran closed the 400 pyeong car wash and cafe, which used to be popular, and became hard after suffering the pain of self-employed people



Actor Heo Young-ran announced that he has closed the car wash cafe business again for his full-fledged acting activities.

On the 16th 'One Mic' channel, 'Meet a famous actor who lived as a businessman in Daejeon for 7 years.. A video of 'Nurse Heo returning' was posted.

Heo Young-ran said he had run a car wash cafe in Daejeon for seven years. "I originally planned a car wash, but I left it to my husband because I couldn't actively push him when a customer was washing his car. I started a cafe while thinking about items that I could do together, and I got a barista license. Before I started my actual business, I worked part-time at another cafe for about two months without pay and practiced customer response" he said.

As for the reason why he focused on his business, he was not active when he married in 2016. Marriage is a reality, isn't it. My husband did a play, but the play doesn't earn much. I was told that the relationship could also be broken if I run into a realistic problem, so I did what I could do on the side, but I did my main job."

However, Jang Young-ran recently came to Seoul after ending his successful business. He said "I know my husband loves acting. I think acting is what I can do well. If I can do my favorite acting, I want to do it anytime (any role). After experiencing the pain of self-employed people, I became really solid inside" and burned his passion for acting again.

Meanwhile, Heo Young-ran made his debut in MBC drama 'I' in 1996 and played in SBS sitcom 'Sunpoong Obstetrics & Gynecology' and SBS drama 'The Wild Age'.
