Actor Kang Ha Neul surprised many by revealing that he only uses a debit card and avoids credit cards completely.

On the March 25th episode of the web variety show Salon Drip 2, Kang Ha Neul made a guest appearance and talked about his personal spending habits.

Known for his humble and down-to-earth personality, he shared, “I spend money on games, books, movies, and rent,” but added, “Maybe I just don’t know how to spend money on myself, or there’s just nothing that feels that important.”

He also admitted that he doesn’t care much about fashion. “People around me know that I’m a total fashion terrorist. Spending money on clothes feels like a waste because they wear out after a few washes. I really don’t spend much money at all.”

Even when it comes to food, he keeps things simple. “I eat cereal the most. I just go for foods that satisfy my hunger,” he said. “If I decide to order delivery, I just pick whatever’s at the top of the app. Even choosing what to eat feels like too much work.”

When Jang Do Yeon joked that his card bill must be really low, Kang Ha Neul surprised everyone even more by revealing, “I only use a debit card."

He added, "Credit cards feel like creating debt, and I don’t like that. It feels weird. When the bill arrives a month later, it suddenly feels like I’m losing a lot of money.”

Former DIA member Somyi is taking legal action against the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) for spreading false rumors about her alleged relationship with PocketDol Studio’s CEO, Kim Kwang Soo.

On March 28, Somyi’s agency, Modenberry Korea, released an official statement, saying, “We will take legal action against ‘Gaseyeon’ for spreading false claims that Somyi and CEO Kim Kwang Soo were in a relationship.”

The agency strongly condemned the allegations, adding, “‘Gaseyeon’ broadcasted false claims that Somyi and Kim Kwang Soo were dating, intentionally spreading misinformation. This is a clear case of defamation, and we will take strong legal measures to protect our artist.”

They also made it clear that they won’t stand for any more baseless rumors, stating, “We will not tolerate reckless speculation about our artist. We are already gathering evidence through legal representatives and will respond with a zero-tolerance policy.”

The controversy started when Gaseyeon uploaded a video titled “DIA Members Fighting Over One Man”, claiming that Somyi, Kim Kwang Soo, and another DIA member, referred to as A, were involved in a love triangle.

The claims quickly gained attention, especially due to the 39-year age gap between Kim Kwang Soo (born in 1961) and Somyi (born in 2000).

Meanwhile, Modenberry Korea recently announced on March 27th that they had signed an exclusive contract with Somyi, marking a new chapter in her career.

Somyi debuted as a member of DIA in 2017 and was active for about two years before leaving the group.

After parting ways with PocketDol Studio, she transitioned into a BJ (broadcast jockey) and has continued her career in that field.
