The actor who had disappeared from the spotlight has transformed into ‘CEO Jung Joon.’

News of actor Jung Joon, who hasn't been seen on television for a while, has been revealed, sparking interest.

Having halted his acting career after 2014, he is now living a second life as a ‘businessman.’

Recently, singer Kim Jang-hoon shared a photo taken with Jung Joon on his social media, saying, "My brother Joon is running a shopping mall and gave me really nice sofas and beds at a very reasonable price."

Fans couldn't hide their delight at the news of him after a long time.

Kim Jang-hoon supported Jung Joon's new endeavor, saying, "I treated him to a thank-you dinner yesterday. I think it's good to express your feelings often, even in close relationships and within families. I will reveal my bed and sofa, and Jung Joon's shopping mall soon.”

From Actor to Businessman: A New Path Starting with E-Cigarettes

Jung Joon had already garnered attention in 2019 when he revealed his tailor shop on the TV Chosun entertainment show 'Taste of Love Season 3'.

Since then, he has consistently taken on various business ventures.

In 2021, he stated on social media, “Many people ask why I’m not on TV, but I’m currently doing business,” and “I’m working with my friend of 24 years in the liquid e-cigarette business.”

Instead of pursuing a career in entertainment, he has turned to the world of realistic business.

Starting with the e-cigarette business, he has recently expanded into the lifestyle furniture brand, establishing himself as a ‘lifestyle businessman.’

It is said that his senses and aesthetic sensibilities from his acting days have been incorporated into his business.

Youtuber ‘Jung Joon’s 4th Spring’, Healing Life Through Camping

Leaving the entertainment industry doesn't mean he stopped communicating with the public.

Jung Joon shares his daily life and camping experiences with fans through his YouTube channel ‘Jung Joon’s 4th Spring.’

The sight of him pitching a tent himself and spending a simple day in nature shows a more free and human side.

Instead of broadcasting, he approaches fans as “person Jung Joon” rather than “actor Jung Joon” through YouTube, constantly connecting with them.

His sincere smile and simple tone in the videos provide another source of comfort to those who have been fans for a long time.

That Boy in ‘Adolescence’ is Still Growing

Born in 1979, Jung Joon debuted as a child actor in 1991.

Starting with the MBC drama ‘Adolescence,’ he was loved as a representative youth actor of the 1990s and 2000s, appearing in numerous popular works such as ‘Men of the Bath House,’ ‘Delicious Proposal,’ and ‘Childless Comfort.’

Thanks to his sincere acting and unpretentious image, he also gained the nickname 'Nation's Little Brother.'

His unchanging sincerity and warmth continue to deliver positive energy to people, no matter what profession he chooses.

Jung Joon Shining in a Wider World Than ‘Actor’

Jung Joon's life is like a drama entering a new season.

From actor to businessman, from e-cigarettes to furniture, he is constantly pioneering his own path without being confined to one frame.

His next transformation is highly anticipated.

Whether he is acting in front of the camera or developing business ideas behind the camera, Jung Joon is still ‘growing.’

His cheerful second act in life is giving courage and inspiration to many people.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
