Shin-soo Choo's wife, Hwa Won-mi, showcased her extraordinary wealth.
On the 23rd, a video titled "What should I do secretly with Shin-soo Choo?" was uploaded to Hwa Won-mi's YouTube channel.
That day, Hwa Won-mi had a gathering with the production team. During this time, the producer asked, "Do you want to become an influencer?" about her reasons for starting YouTube, and Hwa Won-mi said, "What is an influencer? Am I not already an influencer?" He mentioned, "I don’t specifically want to become an influencer and get famous; it’s not that. I just started, and I hope it goes well, that’s all," she revealed.
The producer then stated, "This is a sensitive topic, but you’re not worried about money or anything in this situation, right? Because Choo's accumulated salary is 190 billion won." Hwa Won-mi acknowledged, "It’s not like that," but added, "My kids really worry a lot. I just came back from America. Mubin suddenly asked, 'Mom, are you and dad not earning money anymore? We live in such a big house and are spending this much money, should I become an Uber driver?'" which made everyone laugh.
The producer was amazed and asked, "Do they really worry about that?" and then inquired, "What do you say?" Hwa Won-mi honestly replied, "I really enjoy it." When he asked, "Isn't Shin-soo Choo in charge now? Does he earn a lot?" she explained, "He doesn’t earn anything at all." This is because he decided to donate all of it to the team. When asked if this was discussed, she said, "We talked about it, but I’m the priority and he has to follow my opinion. It’s not a bad choice; it’s a good choice, so I need to work hard. My husband has no income now and will just spend like this," she joked.
The production team commented, "We almost thought he was pitiable," which elicited laughter, and Hwa Won-mi expressed enthusiasm by saying, "So what is our next content?"
The producer raised a cautious question about the price of their 5,500-pyeong Texas mansion, asking what it’s worth now, and Hwa Won-mi answered, "It’s probably more expensive than when we built it; it cost nearly 10 billion won back then." The producer asked, "Is it now worth double?" and Hwa Won-mi replied, "Not quite double, but it hasn’t gone down. It has risen a lot. It could have doubled, but we’re not selling it," which amazed everyone.
Hwa Won-mi particularly shared, "The house next door is strange. I can't express it well, but it's creepy. I wanted to get closer, so I went over; it was just really weird. It felt uncomfortable. In the U.S., I didn’t know how much my house was worth, so I thought, should I put it on the market? They listed it. My husband must be aware of this. Then we ended up buying it, increased our property like that." The producer asked, "Who buys that place?" and Hwa Won-mi responded, "We just rent it out. That’s also our house," and noted, "It’s big. It’s the same size," which added to the astonishment.
Additionally, Hwa Won-mi mentioned, "We have a secret door in our house. It hasn’t been shown on the broadcast, but there’s a panic room that is a small space made of steel. It’s bulletproof. Bullets can’t penetrate it, and all systems are in place so that you can monitor all the CCTV outside. Even if someone cuts the electricity in our house, there will still be power in that room. We installed a separate internet line there. Since many people in the U.S. have guns, and I am often alone without my husband, it's necessary."
The producer asked, "Do you have guns in the house?" and Hwa Won-mi confirmed, "Of course, we have many guns. I have a CARRY license. I can carry a gun. The reason I got the license is that there are many stalkers targeting Major League players in the U.S. So, the Major League teams made all the players and their wives get one. It’s for protection," she elaborated. She added that, "With that license, you can bring firearms into the stadium, but you should keep them visible if you take them there. You have to show, 'I have a gun.'" When asked how much a gun costs, she replied, "They aren't that expensive, around 200,000 won? It varies by type."
