Singer Tei Clarifies 'Being a Celebrity is Easy' Comment on 'Radio Star'

Singer Tei has clarified his previous comment about being a celebrity being easy.

On the October 4th episode of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star', which featured a special titled 'Capturing Women's Hearts', guests included In Gyo-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, Tei, and Heo Kyung-hwan.

During the show, Tei addressed his past remark to Lee Seok-hoon on another variety show, where he said, "Being a celebrity is easy." He explained, "What I meant was 'what you are already doing is the best.' It's not easy to leave behind what you've built up to try something new."

Known as one of the top three big eaters in the music industry, Tei humorously compared himself to an SUV, saying, "I consume a lot of fuel." He also mentioned Young K, saying, "Eating with him is great because it becomes a meal. Our tempo matches." When asked how much he eats, he revealed, "Based on what I've built up, it's about nine bowls."

Meanwhile, Tei is also running a successful handmade burger restaurant, nearing an annual revenue of 1 billion KRW (approximately 10 million USD).
