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.”

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
