Lee Kuk-ju Confesses Why Japan...'I wanted to live like a rookie again'



Broadcaster Lee Kuk-joo told how she is trying to live a new life in Tokyo, Japan.

On the 23rd, Lee Kuk-ju said on social media that he was living in Tokyo, along with a photo taken on the streets of Tokyo, `It's not like I'm just living in Japan.' He said, `I'm going back and forth to work hard in Korea, and to spend other time more meaningfully", he explained. "It feels like I'm living in two houses," he said, adding that "there is also a excitement that there is a place to rest in other places."

The living alone in a 9 pyeong studio apartment, which was released through the YouTube channel 'Lee Kuk-ju TV', also drew attention. He has turned 40 and marks his 20th anniversary. From four to five years ago, I did what I was told to do and lived like a sieve wheel.




Lee Kuk-ju "It's been a long time since I've lived without excitement. I wanted to learn the language, and I thought to try it when I had no work. "He revealed the background of his decision to go to Tokyo. He said, `Here, I am determined to cherish and suffer like I did when I was a rookie. Failing doesn't end your life. I believe it will be a good experience."

The time alone was also a time to look back on myself to Lee Kuk-joo. He said "I or who cares about me. I am the one who loves me the most. I have to fight for me"Let's find happiness together," he said, adding that he gained sympathy from many people.

In the future, Lee Kuk-ju will travel between Korea and Japan and present various contents. He said "We are going to post various stories such as Korean life and Japanese life on YouTube, so please pay a lot of attention."
