Kang Joo-eun, the home shopping queen with an annual sales of 60 billion won, confessed with a twist: "Did Choi Min-soo's gold trophy get melted down?"

Kang Joo-eun, who is also gaining attention for being from a 'gold spoon family,' unveiled the story of how she melted down the gold trophy her husband Choi Min-soo received, generating surprise.

A former Miss Canada in 1993 who met actor Choi Min-soo in what seemed like destiny while visiting Korea, Kang Joo-eun has recently gained attention as the 'icon of sellouts' in the home shopping industry, recording annual sales of 60 billion won. However, her beginnings were humble. She shared a story about an embarrassing mistake during a live broadcast when she introduced fermented fish and inadvertently said "jeot," which startled the staff.

In a recent video shared on her YouTube channel 'Kkang Joo-eun,' Kang Joo-eun also included her candid and humorous anecdotes. She revealed that she became deeply engrossed in accessory making, stating, "I collected all the gold that was lying around the house and melted it down," and mentioned that this included trophies her husband Choi Min-soo had previously won.

"The award my husband received was made of gold, and early in our marriage it was displayed, but later it was put away," Kang Joo-eun reminisced, continuing, "One day, thinking to make accessories from that gold, I melted it all down. I proudly told my husband, 'I melted down all your awards,' but he just smiled and said, 'Do we have any urgent matters?,' recalling the moment with embarrassment.

Surprisingly, Choi Min-soo responded, "It's okay. As long as Joo-eun is happy, that's what matters," but Kang Joo-eun confessed that she ultimately did not feel inspired to create anything from it. Expressing her disappointment, she said, "Let's just forget about it," adding, "At least I have photos to comfort me."

Internet users are showing various reactions, saying, "That's so Kang Joo-eun," "The gold trophy is useless in front of the wife," and "That's a true gold spoon anecdote."

Meanwhile, Kang Joo-eun is solidly building her own brand as a 'career woman' rather than just being Choi Min-soo's wife. Attention continues to be focused on her journey as the revenue queen in the home shopping industry.
