Singer and actor Kim Jaejoong addressed rumors about his wealth being 100 billion won.
Recently, a video featuring Kim Jaejoong was posted on 'Today’s Joo Woo Jae.'
During the video, Joo Woo Jae asked, "What do you do alone at home these days?" Kim Jaejoong replied, "Not much. I just drink and cook for myself. My day usually ends after cooking at home," showing his simple lifestyle.
When Joo Woo Jae was surprised that Kim Jaejoong cooks all his meals, he remarked, "You must eat everything you cook." Kim Jaejoong humorously responded, "Living frugally is the way to live well."
Joo Woo Jae, who prefers ordering delivery, mentioned that he doesn't cook and his induction stove is piled with stuff. Kim Jaejoong humorously replied, "Give me your gas stove. I don't have one because I think it's a waste to use gas at home."
Amazed by Kim Jaejoong's frugality, Joo Woo Jae said, "You have a lot of money. People like you need to spend money to keep the economy going." Kim Jaejoong retorted, "I pay taxes," making everyone laugh.
Joo Woo Jae then exaggerated, "I’m not envious. I've been working for a long time too. I just want to keep doing this consistently. I don't want to have as much money as you, like a hundred billion won."
Kim Jaejoong replied, "Let me clear this up once on this channel. The rumors about my enormous wealth circulating online are ridiculous. They count all the cars I've driven over 20 years as part of my assets," expressing his frustration.
He added, "Of course, I’ve changed cars over time. Sometimes I have real estate, sometimes I don't. I sell one property and buy another. If you add all of that up as my assets, honestly, I should have one trillion won. It’s not possible to earn that much, and the structure doesn't work that way," passionately clarifying the rumors.
