This once popular actress says she's been working as a waitress, house cleaner, and even sanitation worker during her hiatus

AKP STAFF

A once popular actress has been working various jobs and even tried being an environmental sanitation worker for a day.

Choi Kang Hee recently appeared in the MBC program 'Point of Omniscient Interfere' and shared that she had been working as a waitress at restaurants and as a house cleaner during her time away from the entertainment industry.

In the episode of 'Point of Omniscient Interfere' that aired back on January 20, Choi Kang Hee shared, "I haven't been acting since three years ago. I told my family I wanted to stop, and my family agreed. They told me I can do what I want to do. I changed my phone number and told my manager to stop receiving any scripts and screenplays to look over."



She confessed, "I wasn't happy. I worked for 25 years. But I wondered 'What am I good at' so I tried out various things. My life's motto is 'Those who don't work, don't eat,' So I had to do something." Choi Kang Hee shared, "I was curious about what else I could do other than being an actress. So I went to school to be a broadcast writer and learned to edit. I even worked a part-time job at a restaurant, washing dishes."


She revealed that she is currently working as a house cleaner for other celebrities and elaborated, "I'm a house cleaner tailored for celebrities. I currently clean their house while keeping strict security measures."



Choi Kang Hee also opened up her own YouTube channel, where she began uploading videos of her daily life outside of the entertainment industry.

On January 31, she posted a video where she shared her day of working as an environmental sanitation worker for a day.

She shared, "I came to work to collect garbage today. Right now it's midnight. I heard I will also work at the incinerator." In the video, Choi Kang Hee was seen riding the garbage truck and picking up trash. She shared, "It's refreshing to work during the time when no one is on the street."

I find this commendable, there is this crazy amount of pressure now to be independent and work outside a 9-5. I know a few sanitation workers who love it because all they are doing is dumping trash into a garbage truck. They don't have to deal with people or anything and go home and prepare to do it again. Having that standard 9-5 gives you that piece of mind that everyone takes forgranted.
