Soccer star Son Heung Min recently revealed how he enjoys spending his money—on in-game purchases.

On September 3, Son Heung Min appeared on the YouTube show 'SalonDrip 2', where he opened up about his passion for gaming.

Comedian Jang Do Yeon, who hosted the show, asked him about balancing his love for games with his busy schedule.

"You like games, but since you don’t have much time, do you often have to resist playing even when you want to?" Jang Do Yeon asked.

Son Heung Min replied, "I really love games. I enjoy playing 'League of Legends' and 'PUBG.' When I have time, I play with my friends. I'm very serious about it. If I lose, I review what went wrong because it’s a team game."

When asked about his competitiveness, he admitted, "A lot of it comes from gaming. I hate losing in soccer, but I also really hate losing in games."

The conversation then turned to in-game purchases, where Son Heung Min was quick to point out, "Games are all about in-game purchases."

He explained, "You can’t buy time with money, but in games, you can. It helps save time. When I was younger and lived at home, my mom didn’t allow in-game purchases. I understood that back then. But now that I earn my own money, and I’m not reckless with it, I don’t need to ask for permission anymore," he said, bringing some laughs.

Jang Do Yeon responded, "That's quite healthy. It's not like you're doing anything wrong." Son Heung Min agreed, adding, "As long as it's within your means and not over the top. But there’s also fun in leveling up."

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
