According to media reports, the cafe operated by actor Lee Dong-gun in Aewol-eup, Jeju, has been left abandoned without management after ceasing operations. In the past, the cafe enjoyed high popularity, with customers even participating in "open runs," but its damaged state—including green algae in the outdoor pond and swarms of insects—was revealed through a YouTube video.

Lee Dong-gun opened the cafe last April by renovating an old house, and it was revealed through a broadcast that he had taken out a loan of approximately 200 million won for the opening at that time. Since entering a temporary closure last June, a notice regarding reorganization was posted, but business has not resumed to this day, and it is reported that Lee Dong-gun is preparing for new business in Seoul.

The Korea Social Welfare Journal is striving to deliver press releases and welfare information more easily and accurately with the help of AI technology.
