K-Pop Stars Who Earned A Living Through Part-Time Jobs Before Making It Big
Lee Hong-ki
Lee Hong Ki (sometimes spelled Lee Hong Gi) is a well-known South Korean actor and singer who is also the lead singer of the rock band F.T. Island. He began his career in the entertainment industry as a child actor, debuting in the 2002 television series “Magic Kid Masuri.” In addition to “Modern Farmer” (2014) and “You’re Beautiful,” he has acted in several other plays (2009).
He is known as the “Idol of Part-Time Jobs.” He described working as a delivery driver at a Chinese restaurant as the most challenging job he’d ever done, especially when he had to gather up strewn-about delivery containers.
There was no part-time job he didn’t do, from working in beauty salons to restaurant deliveries. As a result, Hongki believes that delivery drivers should always be given a little gratuity.
