Actor Lee Jang Woo's life changed after appearing on ”We Got Married”... ”I didn't even have a salary until then” (Life 84)

Actor Lee Jang Woo reflected on his life as a celebrity.

On the 6th, the Youtube channel Life 84 published a video titled ‘Lee Jang Woo Life Interview’.

In the published video, webtoon writer Kian 84 met actor Lee Jang Woo. Kian 84 was reading out Lee Jang Woo's profile and when he said that he weighed 85 kg, he said "Why can't I lose any more weight? You took your body profile a while ago, didn't you?" In response, Lee Jang Woo said, "I started at 108 kilos, but I was not in good shape. I had to go to the hospital for treatment and couldn't exercise right away", he explained.

Lee Jang Woo, who is from the Gangnam 8 School Group (an area developed by the South Korean government for educational purposes, with the most difficult school subjects in the country), said, "I worked from an early age and was not involved in studying. I was even the last in the whole school in terms of difficulty," he said with a laugh. He continued "There are kids who only mark 3 and go to bed, but I solved them all seriously. But I was the last in the whole school."

Lee Jang Woo, who has dreamt of being an actor since high school when he was an extra, said, "I dreamt of being a star and a big actor a lot in my 20s." On his restaurant business challenge, he said, "It's like a long marathon. I don't think my acting career will end if I do the food and beverage business now in another 60 years. Right now it's raining in the drama world and I'm in a situation where I have to avoid the rain", he explained.

He added "Actors always have the skill of acting. They can use their skills when the opportunity arises, so they are doing other jobs to live now instead of grinding their skills all the time. Recently, actors are doing a lot of other work to survive."

Lee Jang Woo also commented on his experience as a singer "I couldn't live my life on my own. I lived my life doing what the company said for a long time. I wanted to act, but I wanted to be famous first, so I built up recognition," he recalled.

He also talked about his time on the variety show ‘We Got Married'. Lee Jang Woo said "I thought my life had changed. I did ‘We Got Married’ and looked for a house and a car. Through this, I also filmed commercials and started living a life I could afford. I received several million won a month, but before that I couldn't make a living. I didn't even have a salary", he confessed. He continued "I am still close to Eunjung's (T-ara) mother. We went abroad and had a wedding. Eunjung was also very kind and suited me perfectly."

Lee Jang Woo, who is currently dating Cho Hye Won, said "We were together for six years. I got lucky while I was in love. Of course I want to get married. I want to get married and have lots of children, I think it's right for me. I dream of being lively."
