[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Actor Jo Sang-gi revealed that he is working at a factory.

On the afternoon of the 11th, MBN's 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' aired, revealing the daily life of Jo Sang-gi and his wife.

That day, Jo Sang-gi shared his current status of working at a factory that makes playgrounds.

He recalled, "Four years ago, I was waiting for acting work, but no jobs came in, and I faced an economic crisis. As the head of the family, I had to protect my household. I went to an interview and started working."

He added, "I leave every day at 5 a.m. I debuted as an actor at 22 and smoothly showed various sides of myself in good projects. I thought it was something easily given, but after experiencing a hiatus, I realized it wasn't something natural or easy. I didn't slack off. I worked hard on the projects I was given, but since I had to just keep waiting, I felt frustrated," he shared his honest feelings.

Additionally, Jo Sang-gi introduced his wife of six years, Won Min-ju. Won Min-ju said, "I say there is a 14-year age difference, but my husband says it's 15 years. I guess he thinks having a big age gap is better," making Jo Sang-gi burst into laughter.

She said, "My husband shines more when he is working as an actor. The first day he started at the factory was my birthday. I felt bad. At that time, it was desperate, and there was no other way. The work was tough, so his main job took a backseat. It feels like this has become a daily routine," as she wiped away tears.

Meanwhile, Dongchimi airs every Saturday at 11 p.m.
