Actor Lee Dong Gun just opened a café in Jeju Island—and it’s already a huge hit!

On April 14, Lee Dong Gun officially opened his café ‘Oasis 80’ in Aewol-eup, Jeju. The soft opening was held a day earlier, on April 13, and fans showed up in big numbers.

To let people know, Lee Dong Gun posted through fellow celebrity Lee Sang Min’s social media, saying, “On Sunday, April 13, from 4 to 6 PM, I’ll have a soft opening for my café ‘Oasis 80.’ I’ll do my best to provide great menus and service. Please show lots of interest.”

He wanted to test the waters with a soft launch before the official opening, and it clearly worked. Stars like Lee Sang Min, who appeared with Lee Dong Gun on My Ugly Duckling, and longtime friend Goo Bon Seung came to support him.

Goo Bon Seung shared a fun message on his social media: “My dear younger brother and junior actor Lee Dong Gun is really opening a café in Aewol, Jeju. He kept saying he would… and now it’s actually happening. From what I see, it even has something like an aquarium (or is it a pool?)—it looks perfect for a sashimi place.” Fans found his post funny and sweet.

After the grand opening, the café’s official social media uploaded a video showing long lines of people waiting to get in. The place is already buzzing with attention and love from fans and locals alike.

Meanwhile, Lee Dong Gun has been showing more of his personal life lately. He was previously married to actress Jo Yoon Hee, whom he met while filming The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop. The couple had a daughter, but they divorced in 2020.

Their daughter is currently being raised by Jo Yoon Hee, but Lee Dong Gun shared that he moved to a bigger home to create a better space for his 7-year-old daughter whenever she visits.

On a recent episode of My Ugly Duckling, he revealed, “I moved from a one-room apartment to a bigger place for my daughter.”

Fans are loving this new chapter in his life, cheering him on for both his business and as a caring dad.

On April 18, the KBS 2TV music talk show featured musical actors Cha Ji Yeon and Park Eun Tae. During the show, Park Bo Gum asked Cha Ji Yeon to perform a song from the popular musical Seopyeonje.

Cha Ji Yeon responded by singing "Shimcheongga" live, and the powerful performance moved Park Bo Gum to tears.

While trying to hold back, he jokingly said, "My eyes are just dry," but the emotion was clear in his voice as he added, "It’s an honor."

Park Bo Gum shared how hearing the song brought back memories of when he was a student and had the chance to experience the performance up close.

He continued, “Your voice has power, and it’s like a precious gem that no one else can replace.”

The rare moment of vulnerability led to a temporary pause in the show, as the emotional atmosphere took over the set. Fans were moved by his genuine reaction, highlighting his deep appreciation for the arts.
