• Kim Jong Kook Praises Actor Sung Hoon For Being So Frugal To The Point He Uses Just One Toilet Paper In The Bathroom

    Actor Sung Hoon showed off his unique frugal spirit in front of Kim Jong Kook, the CEO of the entertainment industry.

    On May 17th, the production team of KBS2's "Problem Child in House" announced that Sung Hoon (40) will appear as a guest in the 178th episode, which will air at 8:30 p.m. on May 18th.

    In the recent recording, Sung Hoon drew attention by showing off his frugality as much as MC Kim Jong Kook (47).

    Asked if he is as much a "Thrifty King" as Kim Jong Kook, Sung Hoon confessed, "Jong Kook is a diligent and frugal person, and I'm not trying to save it, but I'm really not materialistic".

    He then said, "I buy daily necessities, but I rarely spend money on clothes, skin care, and cars", and drew attention by saying, "Most of the expenses are on puppy supplies or food expenses".

    Asked what the biggest "flex" he recently did for himself, Sung Hoon replied that he bought a "gaming mouse" worth 100,000 won.

    Sung Hoon boasted of his small spending, saying, "It's a wireless mouse, but it's good to use it every time after using only a wired mouse", showing off his "salty" side comparable to Kim Jong Kook.

    Sung Hoon's goal of not spending much money is to get his own house.

    Sung Hoon, who said he is still living on a monthly rent, expressed his desire for his own self, saying, "I think the feeling of a rented house and a space that is mine are different".

    On the other hand, singer Kim Jong Kook is so frugal that he confessed that he had cleaned the toilet with a piece of tissue in the past.

    Recently, he appeared on several broadcasts and showed how he recycled wet wipes several times while washing them.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
