[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Broadcaster Oh Jung-yeon revealed that she is facing difficulties in her cafe business due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

On the 22nd, Oh Jung-yeon appeared as a guest on SBS LoveFM's 'Heo Ji-woong Show.'

On the day, Oh Jung-yeon expressed her concerns, saying, "Since COVID-19, the cafe business has entered the red. Our cafe is located next to a university, so students and faculty members are our main customers, and their numbers have definitely decreased significantly."

She continued, "With online classes indefinitely postponed, hope disappeared. However, even in this crisis, new hope is sprouting as more local residents and fans visit on weekends," adding, "I am covering the losses through broadcasting to keep the business running."

She said, "The cafe was not started with the intention of making income in the first place," and added, "I liked having a hideout and a place where people come and go. I had a strong desire to provide a place where many people could spend good time and heal."

She went on, "Even in this situation, I am investing more, spending my own money to train part-time baristas. Rather than acting practically, developing it into a better space provides emotional stability," and added, "The part-time workers also enjoy it, so I feel proud."
