I made 20 million won a week, but bankrupt..Lee Deok-jae's profligate life and divorce (Special Report World)



I regretted the past when comedian Lee Deok-jae was profligate.

Lee Deok-jae, the 10th comedian of KBS's open recruitment, was revealed on MBN 'Special World', which aired on the 27th.

On this day, Lee Deok-jae told about his current situation as a used car salesperson. In the past, it was very popular with 'Gag Concert' and 'Ice Man', but the heyday didn't last long because of his profligate life.




Lee Deok-jae sang " (at that time), paid a lot of money, and was treated a lot. I once earned 50 to 6 million won in a day. I once earned 15 to 20 million won in a week. It wasn't forever, but it was then."

Lee Deok-jae, who succeeded in buying his own house three years ago, said "Before I got this house, I moved to almost ten places a lot." He has been alone for about eight years, he said "If I hadn't lived a steady life like now since the past and had not lived a profligate life, I wouldn't have separated from my wife at that time and wouldn't have separated from my family. But I'm already divorced, so I can't turn it around, right?" he said bitterly.

Lee Deok-jae did not work in a foreign country, playing, eating, and driving a good car. In the U.S., the price of a flight in the first class alone was over 5 million won at the time. And I slept in a good five-star hotel. It wasn't because I had a lot of money, but I covered it with all the assets and debts I had", he regretted looking back on his past.

Lee Deok-jae, who lost all of his collected assets and took on 300 million won in debt, eventually filed for bankruptcy, and had difficulty living due to work interruption. He didn't even keep coming in. Since you're abroad, you can't suddenly come in to work. So I refused, and then, of course, the production team refused once, so would you call me again. As time goes by, of course, it's recognized as a child who doesn't work, so I don't call him"What kind of woman would like me when my life is getting difficult?" If you do it for two to three years, it becomes difficult, and of course, the relationship becomes bad, so you have no choice but to divorce."

Lee Deok-jae, who feels sorry for his daughter who is about to graduate from college, said "When I think about it, it's my fault that the child was mean to me and I'm sorry. In elementary, middle, and high school, if I had restrained what I wanted to do by sacrificing myself and lived for my family, I would have formed a harmonious family, but I wonder why I couldn't have my heart when I was young. I regret it a lot thinking that I might have felt that way after I got older."

Currently, Lee Deok-jae has been in a relationship for seven years with his female friend, a nurse who is 10 years younger than him who suffered the same divorce. He met his girlfriend at a time when he was very lonely after his divorce, when he had no money and was lonely. I was so lonely, but my girlfriend came up to me and I was very comforted because my lifestyle and hobbies matched each other. "I thanked my girlfriend. Then " (girlfriend) I have thoughts of combining my son when he becomes an adult. But that's my idea and I don't know what a girlfriend would think. My goal is to build a family together before I turn 60 years old"I have no doubt that if you do your best every moment and live a positive life, a very good day will come and a happy day will come."
