Kim Jong Kook: “I’m riding a good car, but it’s been 10 years, tax office told me to go spend money”
Kim Jong Kook revealed his extreme life of saving money.
On Dec 9th, the YouTube channel “GYM Jong Kook” uploaded a video titled “PT bread instead of birthday bread (Feat. Yang Se Chan)”.
This episode’s guest is Yang Se Chan. The production team said they will ask him questions that viewers are the most curious about, starting with “Why didn’t you come to the soccer match?” Yang Se Chan replied, “I couldn’t come because of my Thursday schedule, but I’m having that right now. I should talk to Jong Kook,” he said. When asked, “Why don’t you pay the membership fee?” he said, “I can just pay all at once when I leave. You might think I’m saving money, but I actually have quite a bit of money.”
On this day, the production team of “GYM Jong Kook” received a new car. When Yang Se Chan was told that they wouldn’t hold a rite for luck, he prayed instead, saying, “Shouldn’t you guys pray?” Yang Se Chan told Kim Jong Kook, “I prayed and touched the car. I didn’t know how many years you would ride it, so I prayed for 10 years.” Kim Jong Kook then replied, “I’m a frugal person, but I think there will be two new car models in 10 years.” However, in fact, Kim Jong Kook’s car is 10 years old. Kim Jong Kook added, “People said I’m riding a good car, but it’s been 10 years. The tax office even contacted me to please use some money,” he said.
Kim said, “But I have no intention of changing cars. I found no joy in cars,” to which the production team asked, “Then can you buy me one?” Kim Jong Kook, who was dumbfounded by this question, said, “I think I can buy it for you. Tell me if you really need it.”
When asked by Yang Se Chan, “How about a compact car?” Kim Jong Kook said, “I have thought about buying a small car. That’s why I asked for an electric car. For riding around. But wouldn’t an electric bicycle be better than that?” In response, Yang Se Chan said, “It’s better to walk if you gonna bike around that much,” and Kim Jong Kook responded, “That’s why I just walk around these days.”
