TV personality Haha is featured on the latest episode of the observational variety show ‘Boss in the Mirror’.

Haha meets up with chef Jung Ji Sun, who came to fame through the Netflix cooking show ‘Culinary Class Wars’. Haha expresses his regret about venturing into the restaurant industry, vowing to never run a restaurant ever again after he concludes his current business.

Haha began his Korean BBQ restaurant in 2014 with singer and fellow ‘Running Man’ cast member Kim Jong Kook, known as the ‘Haha & Kim Jong Kook’s 401 Restaurant’. Haha states that he has closed down two of his restaurants as he has been paying rent without any profit for years. He was so distressed that he spent his days in tears, and his remaining restaurant is also in decline.

Haha also mentions how after he apologized to his business partner Kim Jong Kook, Kim responds that he had already let go of any hopes of recouping his investment seven years ago.
