Talent is an understatement for many Korean celebrities as K-celebrities are talented in various areas, whether it be singing, dancing, acting, or modeling. Some Korean celebrities excel from a trait in the entertainment world, and they go above and beyond.
Some Korean celebrities venture into the business world, putting their name out there. Today, we will be taking a look at some celebrities that run their own restaurant in South Korea. It's crazy to see how busy they probably are from their celebrity life as it is, but they are literally conducting two jobs! Also, it must be a lot of pressure on these celebrities when they open their business as people would already know about them since they are... famous!
So let's take a look and see some celebrities that are running their own business in the Korean world!

Located in Gangnam, aka the Beverly Hills of South Korea, these two hip-hop artists are running their own craft burger place. This place already looks appetizing and LIT.

Ballad singer Tei took on the challenge of opening up his own shop and decided to be punny when it came to naming the restaurant. Teisty indeed!

What are your thoughts on this list? Did you expect some of these people to own these restaurants? Some are quite alarming, and it's crazy again to think how they can maintain and operate a business despite their busy schedules.

I wouldn't say they are restaurants but I know SuJu members own cafes & bars - Yesung & his family own Cafe Armoire & Mouse Rabbit, Donghae owns Haru & One Day, Leeteuk owns Kona Beans and SiWon owns a lounge/bar called Vassient. I believe EXO Chanyeol and Kai own cafes as well.
