Chinese actor Sui Yenting (Sui Yenting) is gaining attention for his unique side job to make a living.
On the 16th, Chinese entertainment media Sohu Entertainment reported that Sui Yenting is working as a hiking companion service in Taishan.
In a post on his own SNS explaining the side job, Sui Yenting stated, "I had no projects this year, so I decided to take this job."
The hiking companion job that Sui Yenting is currently offering costs 699 yuan (approximately 130,000 won) during the day and 799 yuan (approximately 150,000 won) at night. Sui Yenting provides services such as carrying customers' bags, offering free water and fruit, telling jokes to relieve fatigue during the hike, and even giving leg massages.
Sui Yenting graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in China and was known to be a top student, having received a scholarship in his first year. He gained recognition for his role as Wang Ho in the youth comedy drama "Northeast Transfer Student," but he revealed that opportunities for acting roles significantly decreased afterward. He stated, "I realistically had to find another source of income," explaining the reason for taking on a side job.
Chinese netizens have reacted with comments such as, "Sui Yenting is not an unknown actor and has good acting skills, so why can't he get roles?", "699 yuan for a hike up Taishan isn't expensive," and "He's a friend who does humorous acting well, so I hope to see him in more acting roles in the future."
