[Variety] Former ‘Rollercoaster’ Star Jeong Heung-seok Reveals New Life as Fish Vendor
In a surprising turn of events, actor Jeong Heung-seok, known for his role in the hit series ‘Rollercoaster,’ has traded in his scripts for scales. The revelation came during a recent episode of MBN’s ‘Exclusive World’ that aired on the 5th.
Jeong disclosed that he has taken over his late father’s business, becoming a fishmonger. Cameras followed him to an early morning market in Pocheon, where he showcased his newfound expertise in fish sales, drawing curious onlookers.
The actor, who made his debut while still in high school, reminisced about his glory days. “2009 and 2010 were incredible,” Jeong shared. “I’d have about a hundred people asking for autographs and photos daily.”
However, his meteoric rise was followed by a steep fall. After enjoying a brief three to four-year period at the top, Jeong admitted to letting success go to his head. “I thought I was invincible,” he confessed. “My ego was out of control.”
In a moment of candor, Jeong revealed the extent of his hubris. “I mass-emailed casting directors, telling them I was done with ‘their kind’ and that I was moving on to films,” he said. “I sent my profile to production companies, but after seven or eight months of silence, reality hit hard.”
The wake-up call came from an industry insider who didn’t mince words. “You’ve burned your bridges,” Jeong was told. “Your reputation for arrogance and rudeness precedes you. No one will hire you now.”
