The 6.2 billion won house is cash, and the moving will be self-managed… Kim Jong-kook, the frugality that led to a stinky moving update
The subject of the 'billion won wealth' rumor, singer Kim Jong-kook, is finally preparing to move. However, while he purchased a house worth several billion won entirely in cash, it was revealed that he plans to pack his belongings 'personally,' surprising and amusing many.
On the broadcast of SBS's Running Man on the 22nd, Kim Jong-kook's moving preparations were aired. Earlier, Yoo Jae-suk noted, "I went to Kim Jong-kook's house during the holiday and saw he was living with garbage. We need to go and help him," while Haha added, "The room next to the main bedroom is almost like a flea market," revealing the shocking state of affairs.
In response, Kim Jong-kook explained, "It's just that I'm stacked up for the move," but Yoo Jae-suk rebutted, saying, "You haven’t even decided on where you're moving to yet." In fact, towards the end of the broadcast, the production team and members visited Kim Jong-kook's home, and everyone was unable to hide their surprise at the bags and piles of belongings stacked throughout the house.
Amid this, Kim Jong-kook disclosed, "I ran out of bags for preparing for the move, so I separated recyclables and brought them back. I need to pack everything into boxes, but a lot of garbage has come out." When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Aren't you calling a moving company?" Kim Jong-kook firmly declared, "I’m not calling. I will do it all myself." When asked how he would move large appliances like the refrigerator, he responded, "I was thinking of asking some muscular friends for help instead of hiring a truck, but it feels awkward to call. I'm only moving nearby..."
Upon hearing this, Yoo Jae-suk advised, "That's not a stamina issue, but know-how. You need to spend money," which brought laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook recently made headlines for purchasing a luxury dwelling in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, for approximately 6.2 billion won in cash, once again rising as the 'master of asset management.' He garnered attention in the past for stating on a broadcast, "I save most of my income. I don't spend money unless it's absolutely necessary," revealing his meticulous spending habits.
Viewers are responding to Kim Jong-kook’s self-managed move with comments like, "He is indeed the ultimate saver," "Using his body to save money has become a routine," "This is why Kim Jong-kook is Kim Jong-kook," and "This is how he saves a billion won," showing a great deal of interest.
