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.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
