Lee Min-woo, the reason why he left the entertainment industry and went into hiding
On Channel A's 'Because I Like Go Doo-shim', which aired on the 28th, Lee Min-woo, a former child actor with 42 years of experience, appeared as a guest.
Lee Min-woo, who met Go Doo-shim that day, presented a bowl and said, “There is a pottery studio I run in Yangjae-dong. “I’m out here these days, and it’s been in operation for over 10 years,” he said, adding, “The artist made this noodle, and I applied the glaze.”
When asked about his current situation, Lee Min-woo said, “I took a break from acting for exactly 5 years. “I thought I shouldn’t work voluntarily,” he confessed.
He continued, “I didn’t think I had to leave at all, but I thought I had to stop,” and added, “I also worked really non-stop. I don’t think I’ve ever had a break for more than a month. “I felt like I was broken down by my own problems,” he explained.
Lee Min-woo said, “I have been working since I was five years old, so I spent my life just working and barely attending school. And when I turned 20, 30, and 40, I thought that if I continued like this, I would have a big problem. “So, I asked for the company’s understanding and said that I would stop for now and that I would not work,” he added.
