Lee Young-ae, who gained widespread popularity for her role on television drama "Jewel in the Palace" plans to open chains of coffee shops around several Asian countries.

She will most likely open her coffee shops in China, Japan, and Thailand.

Lee will officially announce her new business after she maps out all the details, her friend said.

In her coffeehouses, she will be offering Korean food to popularize the culinary customs of her country.

On the other hand, action-film superstar Jackie Chan also launched his own restaurant chain, Jackie Chan's Cafe, in China, Singapore, and Malaysia around October of this year.

Lee Jun Ki's 5 thousand welcomes

wow! that's nice.. i hope i can visit it someday!..

its a good thing, celebrities think of getting involved in putting up their own business, showbiz is not for lifetime, maybe thats why they think of alternative way of gaining money even if they quit in showbiz

She is really beautiful and gorgeous!
