South Korean celebrity, Haha opened up about his honest side on the reality show Boss in the Mirror, admitting that his biggest mistake in life was venturing into the restaurant business.
Haha, whose real name is Ha Dong Hoon, said he feels deeply traumatized and will never get involved in the restaurant industry again after closing his current restaurant, which is still operating.
“I’ve already shut down two restaurants before because I was paying rent for years without profit.
I was so stressed I cried every day.
The restaurant I have left now is also declining,” he said.
Haha previously ran the Korean BBQ restaurant, Haha & Kim Jong Kook’s 401 Restaurant with his close friend Kim Jong Kook since 2014.
However, Haha clarified that he had to apologize to Kim Jong Kook for the failure of the business.
But Kim Jong Kook calmly responded, saying he had long accepted it and held no expectations of recovering their investment.
“Jong Kook said he gave up hope of getting the money back seven years ago,” Haha added.
Haha shared this heartfelt confession during a meeting with renowned chef Jung Ji Sun, who gained attention through the Netflix show Culinary Class Wars. – BOOM!
