Kim Jong-kook said, "I've never seen capsule coffee"… The king of frugality finds new inventions to be unfamiliar.
The king of frugality Kim Jong-kook felt bewildered in front of the 'capsule coffee machine.'
In the SBS entertainment program 'Running Man' aired on the 29th, a mission to find breakfast buffet locations was conducted through citizen interviews.
On that day, Yang Se-chan and Choi Daniel successfully recruited citizens and even added impressions of Seon Woo-yong, leading to hints about the buffet. Thanks to the quick-thinking citizens, the members who found the hotel-style breakfast location could hardly contain their admiration.
As the members arrived at the luxurious hotel buffet and began to show excited reactions, Kim Jong-kook was unexpectedly held back in a coffee corner when he encountered the capsule coffee machine for the first time. Kim Jong-kook displayed a confused expression, asking, "How do you use this?" and Yoo Jae-suk, who was watching, burst into laughter, saying, "You travel to America so often, how do you not know this?"
Previously, Kim Jong-kook was known as a representative frugal celebrity, famous for his monthly credit card bill of 900,000 won. He explained in an episode of SBS's 'My Little Old Boy' that "my monthly credit card bill is around 900,000 won, including my mobile phone bill," revealing his restrained spending habits.
In daily life, he prefers to drink instant coffee or brew coffee at home rather than buying it, which means he rarely encounters the latest coffee machines. This moment, a trace of life molded by frugality, brought laughter once again.
The broadcast that day provided viewers with delightful resonance through the unexpected combination of Kim Jong-kook's restrained lifestyle and the 'digital divide.'
