Not Only Skilled at Captivating Fans in the Entertainment World, These Korean Celebrities Also Have Interesting Abilities

Kapanlagi.com - Having skills like rapping, singing, dancing, and public speaking has become common and normal for celebrities in the entertainment world. Especially in South Korea, some celebrities have surely received a lot of training from their agencies and are accustomed to their work as performers on stage or even in other entertainment industries.

However, as Korean celebrities, there are also some who have unique abilities and are willing to delve deep into them to the point of obtaining certifications in those fields. This is unique, considering their busy schedules, these Korean celebrities still manage to find time to pursue activities other than their jobs.

The abilities possessed by these celebrities are also unique and interesting because they are very different from what they pursue in the entertainment world. Some of these Korean celebrities include:

1. Lee Byung Hun - Barista

The first Korean celebrity to have unique abilities outside of his profession as a celebrity is Lee Byung Hun. The 51-year-old actor is currently a hot topic of public discussion due to his role in one of the latest Netflix series, which is said to be similar to the Korean version of HUNGER GAMES, called SQUID GAME. 

Unexpectedly, besides his exceptional talent in singing and acting, Lee Byung Hun also has a unique ability as a barista. He even obtained certification to become a barista through a course. This is not without reason. Lee Byung Hun took this course because he is also a fan and heavy coffee drinker.
