Yoon Eun Hye Opens a Coffee Shop and Her Artwork is Placed on Display at 10 Corso Como Seoul

It’s pretty well known in K-ent that Yoon Eun Hye is a very devout Christian and is also quite artistic. She’s dabbled in fashion and painting and interior design and actually created something very pretty each time I’ve seen her work. Recently she hasn’t been active with her acting career, wisely taking a break after last Fall’s epic hot mess that was Marry Him If You Dare. She’s remained in the public eye designing bags for Samantha Thavasa and looking all hot and gorgeous modeling for brands and photo spreads. Recently she’s been in the news for two different endeavors but both tap into her artistic side. Her art work was placed on display at 10 Corso Como Seoul and above is her posing next to the various paintings. I love how it’s arrayed into a cross shape which clearly was intentional. Yoon Eun Hye is also becoming a small business owner as this month sees the opening of her coffee shop Jacob’s Ladder in Seoul. The entire shop was her brain child and she designed everything down to the paper napkin used. Jacob’s Ladder is the ladder to Heaven that Jacob dreams about in the Book of Genesis in the bible so the entire coffee shop reflects Yoon Eun Hye’s Christian faith and is decked out with bible verses. The timing feels about 7 years too late, imagine the insane publicity if she were to open her coffee shop after starring in her biggest hit drama to-date 1st Shop of the Coffee Prince with Gong Yoo back in 2007. For those who have a chance to visit Seoul in the near future, pop on by Jacob’s Ladder for some delicious coffee and cake and a chance to maybe bump into madame store owner Yoon Eun Hye. Two of her Baby V.O.X. unnis Kan Mi Youn and Shim Eun Jin have already hung out with her at the coffee shop and they posted adorable pictures of it.

  • The paintings look so good! And the cake looks delicious! i wish her success in her business endeavour

  • As her Phil. fan, we're truly glad SHE invested her talent to her passionate skills in designing and business ventures for it is very healthy in her profession being an ARTIST and an ENTREPRENEUR. Wishing her success!

    • Hello sis, I'm very much happy to know that you are a Christian ?GBU in your endeavour ?

  • I admire her more than ever! Definitely will be on my list to visit in Seoul!!! God bless and good luck on her endeavors!

  • Holy moly, no matter how much I love Yoon Eun Hye, I don't think I can visit a cafe that is so blatantly religious.

    • That's what I thought too. The religious symbols are just in your face but it's her right. Are Koreans very religious? I read they have the 2nd highest number of Christians in East Asia, besides the Philippines.

      • That's right. A lot of Koreans are passionately Christian.

        Though I am surprised that YEH is such an open devout for her faith, despite being a celeb.
        Good for her! :)

    • I'm christian and religious too...but yeah, it would be a little uncomfortable for me to go somewhere with that much religious symbology with non-christian friends

      • I don't get how someone expressing their beliefs should make a person uncomfortable. Many westerners are so focused on being PC and making sure noone feels too uncomfortable to the point where everyone is extra-sensitive these days. It's freaking exhausting at this point.

      • I'm with all of you. This would make me very uncomfortable to see so much religious stuff in a coffee shop. To me it seems irreverent rather than sacred to have it displayed everywhere.

      • @df How is it okay when followers of other religions like Islam or Judaism aren't even allowed to practice their religion in public without being ostracized? This isn't a matter of being "extra sensitive", it's neo-colonialism and it marginalizes many groups of people in the process.
        YEH can practice her Christianity in public like that and people who are uncomfortable with it pose no threat to it whatsoever - that's privilege for you.

      • The same can be said of Islamic countries where Islam is the main religion and generally followed by the public. In Korean Society, yeah she can freely express her Christianity because for the most part, the "default" religion and what most people are used to is Christianity. There are Christians all over the world sitting in jail, being targeted by extremists, being ran out of their homes and even being sentenced to death (recently well known is pregnant woman in Sudan, I believe being sentenced to death for marrying a Christian man) just for being Christians. At the core of it, people are now uncomfortable with Christianity, let's be real and I bet there are Koreans who feel the same way you do. Either way, all of us have a choice to go or not to.

  • how can she has a lot of times to do a lot of jobs painter, model, designer, actress ,singer,and business cafe? She is a strong woman without need a support of man. I am proud for her,and I wish she always be sucess on her carrier.

    Do not work too hard Yoon Eun Hye. I think you need to relax and vacation sometimes. Love you.

  • Is she really devoted kind? Few years ago media saw her having wild party after LBH' birthday party.

    • Come on, a few years ago? Also, her supposed personal relationship with God is between her and God. I'm not saying you are doing it but some people focus so much on how others aren't being perfect christians, muslims, hindus, whatever that they forget the branch in their own eye.

    • That's total bull! YEH attended an event that day. After that event her co-worker Cha Ye Ryun brought her along to LBH's birthday party. After the b-day party, LBH and SSH were helping the guests to their transportation coz it was raining that day. LBH and SSh did not go inside the car with them, they remained at the event. A lot of people saw what really happened. trash media was lying about what truly happened and blowing it out of proportion just to gain more attention.

      Everyone knows that if Dispatch had more incriminating pictures, they wouldn't have held back and publicized everything.

      Haters gonna hate just to put her down.

    • yeah, I don't wanna criticize her, but she's done some very provocative and racy magazine shoots, and I don't think a "devout" Christian would do those. Gosh, I sound like such a hard-ass. But it's true... to me, those things don't really match up, you know? She might be an "enthusiastic" Christian, but I can't call her "devout".

      • huh? since when does posing for a sexy photo shoot classify a person as a non devout christian or make her less of a Christian?

        That's a little bit judgemental is it not? The girl has done more for the community than most people in here ever have. So just because she posed for some sexy shoot doesn't make her less devoted to her religion.

        So weird how this is starting to become almost like a persecution case.

        She is not forcing anyone to come to her Coffee Shop Or Pushing Her Religion On anyone. Those who can relate will go to her shop and those who can't, won't period.

        I don't understand why some people always gotta find something negative in like everything.

      • @Annyong I sincerely think that AAAA just voicing out her opinion that the word "devout" is not suitable and in fact "enthusiastic" would be a better choice.

        It's indeed true that if you hold true to Christian faith and belief, posing provocatively is not very well-received. She is a good person with so much charity that she has done but she is definitely not really fit to be classified as devoted.

        You need to slow down and not to take positive minor comment as harsh criticism just because you are a fan.

      • @OMG and who made that rule that she isn't fit to be called devout Christian? You? Does it say in the bible? Jesus didn't judge Mary Magdalene for being a prostitute, so what right do others have to question YEH's devotion to her religion over some sexy magazine photoshoot. I dont know it just seems as if people are just being major hypocrites at times.
        This is not about being a fan, but I see too much hate this girl is getting over the most minor things and she doesn't deserve it.

  • hahaha I remember Jacob's Ladder the horror movie, imagine if she'd themed her shop around that instead!

    But congratulations to her on becoming a business owner, good that she's invested her money well and I hope it's all successful. Those paintings don't look half bad either. Now please, please can she get a decent drama to star in next time....

  • Congrats to her for being a roll model to her fans & women in general!! I do hope though she reconsiders that drawing of Jesus on her window, it wouldn't offend me but she has to consider her customers. Everything else (from the pictures) point of view Looks Amazing! You go girl!!

  • A christian Coffeshop? Now I´ve really seen it all..

    The writings on the wall are all very tacky but "cross=love" really takes the cake. I´m seriously speechless..

    • I don't like the Christ picture drawing too. But the writing? I've seen it on plenty of shop windows and blackboards. That's not tacky it's the fonts and drawing. It's quite cool and quirky actually.

      I don't like generic shops and will patronise a shop owned by an individual vs a franchise.

      • Yeah, but Jesus as a marketing gag, with pretty, "artsy" crucifixes as accessoires? Not my cup of tea..
        And the "cross=love"-writing is just ridiculous to me because on the one hand it trivializes a torture and killing device and on the other hand excludes the one thing the writer supposedly loves from its message: Jesus.
        I´m not a "devout" christian though so what do I know..

      • @ Julia:

        With you, on that train of thought.

        On my hand religious, funked up in a modern artsy contemporary way, but nevertheless it's commercial marketing + religion.

        Weird mix, imo.

    • I think cross equals love is a movement. I googled it http://www.crossequalslove.com/ they do random acts of kindness like paying coffee for someone who can't afford it or something.

      As I know YEH is known for many random acts of kindness that has not been made public in the media. Volunteering to many organizations secretly and other things.
