Ji-hye Lee had trouble running her YouTube channel.
Recently, Lee Ji-hye posted a video on her YouTube channel, ‘Unhateable Gwanjong Sister,’ with the title, ‘I’ve met CEOs, but this is my first time as a CEO.’
Previously, Lee Ji-hye announced that there was a settlement issue with the company she had been working with for the past three years regarding the operation of her YouTube channel, so they decided to end things at this point.
On this day, Ji-hye Lee received a lecture about corporations and taxes from her husband Jae-wan Moon, a tax accountant, as she had to run her own company. Lee Ji-hye, who heard the explanation, said, "Now I understand. I just thought it would end with 'we each get 1 million won' and 'I don't earn much,' but it's all reported and processed." The production team asked, “The part you just explained was originally done by Keun Tae-ri (Moon Jae-wan), and won’t Keun Tae-rim continue to do it in the future?” Jihye Lee burst out laughing, saying, “That’s right.” Moon Jae-wan added, “You can’t break up with me,” and added, “What should I do?”
Jihye Lee expressed her gratitude, saying, "I think the reason I'm paying my taxes neatly and without any problems at all times is because my husband committed tax fraud." Moon Jae-wan said, “Don’t worry. I am doing more for my wife.” Lee Ji-hye burst out laughing, asking, “Why?” Moon Jae-wan made up his mind by saying, “That’s what they say.” When Lee Ji-hye got angry and said, "Change a tax accountant? What's the reason for using a tax accountant? I'm using it to pay less," Moon Jae-wan calmed her by saying, "I'll pay everything." Lee Ji-hye joked, “I shouldn’t have to pay more, but I’m paying more.”
Jihye Lee expressed her determination, saying, "Although we were still part of the company, we did well by collaborating on videos and other things. Although we have no one else to rely on, we are doing it with the mindset of trying to do well on our own." When Moon Jae-wan said, “You look like a CEO,” Lee Ji-hye was satisfied and asked, “Does he have CEO force?”
Jihye Lee said, "I think the difference between when celebrities have a company and when they don't is a mental one. All they have to do is go on air alone and do well, but when celebrities have a company, they start with the stylist, shop, make reservations for everything, and do all the little things." “If the company is going to take charge of everything, I have to take care of everything now,” he said. The production team said, “The hardest thing for celebrities without a manager is making money themselves.” Ji-hye Lee said, "That's right. So actually, that's the most difficult thing for me. If I don't have an advertising and marketing team, for example, I have to meet a company and say, 'How much will you give me?' It's difficult. It was a process of setting up employees who could play their respective roles. “I’ve had a headache because of that for the past few days,” he confessed. At the same time, he said, "It's hard to start and it hurts my head, but it seems greedy to not worry about this and hope that everything goes well."
