Actress Son Tae Young could not hide her surprise at the soaring prices in the United States.

On the 21st, a video titled "Luxury-level ring for 100,000 won? Actress Son Tae Young's genuine shopping tips" was released on the YouTube channel 'Mrs. New Jersey Son Tae Young.' On that day, Son Tae Young went food hunting in New York's Soho with an acquaintance.

When the friend asked, "What did you order for lunch for the kids?" Son Tae Young replied, "They are having Burger King. Chicken sandwich. But it's expensive. It's $9.50. One hamburger costs 12,000 won. We're eating out, really," expressing her astonishment at the cost of living in the United States.

Son Tae Young added, "Among the franchise burger places here, Burger King is the most expensive. Especially the chicken sandwich is the priciest," and her acquaintance also noted, "There are hardly any Burger Kings in Manhattan. There are a few McDonald's, but Burger Kings are really few and far between." In response, Son Tae Young said, "There is exactly one Burger King in our neighborhood. The McDonald's is in another area."

She then said with a smile, "Still, I’m grateful that there's a Burger King in our neighborhood. The kids go there a lot," and when her friend asked, "Do the kids like Burger King more than McDonald's, or do they just eat there because it's the only option?" she replied, "At first, they ate there because there were many options, but Lookhee likes Burger King more, while Riho prefers McDonald's. It’s different," sharing her children's distinct preferences.

The two then moved to a nearby cafe to enjoy tea time, and Son Tae Young expressed her satisfaction, saying, "It’s so delicious." However, her friend pointed out, "But this place is expensive. Considering the portion size," to which Son Tae Young asked, "How much? $7 to $8 (about 10,000 won)?" and received the response, "That seems to be the case." It was a moment that underscored the high cost of living in the United States once again.

Earlier, she had shown satisfaction after purchasing an $80 ring from a street vendor, expressing it as "luxury-level." She also playfully said to her husband, Kwon Sang Woo, "Leaving behind an expensive jewelry shop. I’m really lucky. Is my husband watching?" bringing laughter.

Meanwhile, Son Tae Young married actor Kwon Sang Woo in 2008 and has a son and a daughter. She is currently living in New Jersey, United States, with her children.
