O Ji-min (31), a member of the nine-member idol group BTL, revealed that he is currently working as a paint technician.
Recently, O Ji-min appeared on the KBS Joy entertainment program 'Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller' and said, "I have two sons. I participated in this program to seek advice because I want to have a third daughter."
O Ji-min was active in the boy group BTL, which debuted in 2014. After two years and preparing a music video for their second album, the group suddenly disbanded, marking the end of his idol career.
O Ji-min revealed that he started looking for another job after the group disbanded. He said, "At that time, I had even shot a music video for the second album, but the group dissolved suddenly," adding, "I originally dreamed of becoming an actor, so I studied in the Department of Theater and Film before debuting as an idol, but it didn’t go well."
Regarding his family, O Ji-min said, "I got my wife pregnant before marriage during my military service," noting, "My wife is currently 26 years old. My first son is five years old, and my second son is 15 months old."
He works as a paint technician. O Ji-min explained, "During the peak season, I earn about 12 to 15 million won a month, and during the off-season, about 200,000 won," adding, "I got married with nothing at first and started my newlywed life by opening my wife’s café through a loan. Now, I am stabilizing while paying off the loan."
Earlier, in March of last year, O Ji-min appeared on the YouTube channel 'Passionate Man' and reported on his current work as a paint technician. At that time, he stated, "There’s always something new to learn, no matter how much I do. It’s enjoyable and fulfilling," and mentioned, "As I become a skilled worker, the daily wage rises, and when I start my own business, it could become almost three times as much."
