'National Plastic Bag Man' and rumored to have a fortune of 100 billion won, Kim Jong-kook reveals his incredibly frugal daily life on KBS2's 'Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room.'
Known as the 'National Plastic Bag Man' for stacking plastic bags all over his balcony, Kim Jong-kook demonstrated an unimaginable spirit of thrift on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room' (Producer Park Min-jung, Director Lee Se-hee, Writer Mo Eun-seol), radiating his 'frugality power' to the extreme.
Kim Jong-kook, who said, 'I received a colonoscopy while wide awake to save on the expense of sedation,' actively recommends the non-sedated method, noting, 'You can talk to the doctor.'
Confessing to wearing holey underwear is just the beginning, Kim Jong-kook, who also sewed his holey socks in the past and shared tips on saving socks, reportedly showed his frugal side during an inspection of socks with the problematics (Song Eun-yi, Kim Suk, Hong Jin Kyung, Joo Woo-jae, Yang Se-chan).
The pinnacle of the thrift talk was Kim Jong-kook's 'wet tissue lighting.' Kim Jong-kook revealed that he is still using toilet paper and wet wipes received during a housewarming party seven years ago, saying, 'I lived well without wet wipes, so why should I use them?' as he activated the wet tissue lighting.
Song Eun-yi confessed, 'Now, whenever I see wet wipes, I think only of Jong-kook,' and added, 'Now, when I use wet wipes, I dry them to reuse them,' admitting to being a victim of Kim Jong-kook's wet tissue lighting.
Even Hong Jin Kyung, who was captivated by Kim Jong-kook's relentless wet tissue lighting, reportedly threw up her hands, saying, 'I need to stop using wet wipes now.'
Kim Jong-kook's extreme frugal daily life, which left everyone astounded, can be seen on April 3 (Thursday) at 8:30 p.m. on KBS2's 'Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room.'
