Stars Prove Their Filial Piety with Their First Earnings: From Luxury Car Worth Hundreds of Millions to Two-Story House
Stars who used their first earnings to give back to their parents are being highlighted. From houses and home appliances to luxury cars worth hundreds of millions, their gestures go beyond imagination
GOT7’s BamBam revealed that he used his first earnings for his family. He said, “I spent it on gifts for my family. I gave my parents a two-story house in Bangkok and bought a car for my younger sister who has a long commute.“
BTS’s V also used his first earnings to show filial piety. V shared on a broadcast, “My dad has been in the clothing business for a long time. He would go to Dongdaemun in Seoul early in the morning to get clothes and sell them, which required a lot of traveling. When we went on a trip together, I saw that the car’s odometer had reached 500,000 km. So, I decided to get him a new car.“
Singer Kim Woo-seok used his first earnings to pay off his parents’ debt. After debuting with the group UP10TION, he received his first earnings after five years. He said, “I received a lot of support from my parents during that time. They had a debt of about 100 million won, and I paid it all off with my first earnings.”
Regarding his personal splurges, he said “I wanted to splurge with my first earnings, but because of COVID-19, I couldn’t go out much. So, I used a delivery app. I love seafood, and the most expensive item was a pufferfish set. It cost 128,000 won for one serving, so I ordered two. That was the biggest splurge I did after getting paid“, making everyone laugh.
Singer Chuu said, “With my first earnings, I gave my parents allowance. I felt like, ‘Wow, I’m an adult now.’ I also got my driver’s license and could drive my parents to the terminal when they visited, which felt good.“
Regarding her first personal purchase, she said, “I can’t remember exactly, but it seems like I was late in spending it on myself. Rather than wanting something specific, I was happy to order two or three of my favorite foods and enjoy them without feeling rushed.”
IVE’s youngest member Leeseo confessed, “I bought a washing machine and dryer set for my parents. I love shopping with my mom, so I bought what she wanted.” Hearing this, senior Kim Jae-joong said, “This is what they mean when they say raising children well is everything.”
