Actor Chun Jung Myung has shared the heartbreaking reason behind his long break from acting, revealing he even considered retiring from showbiz.

In the December 1 preview of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung appeared as a guest and opened up about the challenges he faced during his five-year hiatus.

Super Junior’s Kim Heechul asked, “Why haven’t you been active in projects lately?” addressing the question many fans have been wondering about.

Chun Jung Myung carefully explained, “I went through a major crisis in my life.” He revealed, “A manager I worked with for a long time committed a serious fraud. It wasn’t just me; my parents were also victims of his scam.” His honest confession left everyone in the studio shocked.

He went on to say, “I was exhausted and found it really hard to keep going. There was a time when I seriously thought about leaving the entertainment industry altogether.”

When asked about how his parents reacted, Chun Jung Myung became emotional and couldn’t continue, raising curiosity about how he overcame such a tough period.

Chun Jung Myung’s last acting role was in the 2019 series Urban Cops: KCSI. Although he briefly appeared on MBC’s variety show I Live Alone in April last year, he hasn’t been active in the industry since.

Fans are now hoping this appearance marks a fresh start for the beloved actor as he steps back into the spotlight.
