Lee Seok-hoon Explains Why His Wife Manages His Money: "She's Smarter than Me"
My Little Old BoyLee Seok-hoon is opening up about why he put his wife in charge of the family finances.

On the Aug. 31 episode of SBS' "My Little Old Boy," the singer appeared as a special MC.

During the broadcast, Seo Jang-hoon joked that Lee had “lost” control of the household budget, saying his wife now manages everything.

“It wasn’t taken from me―I asked her,” Lee replied. “She’s wiser than I am and way quicker with numbers. I focus on work, and she handles the rest. Honestly, it makes my life a lot easier,” he added, expressing his gratitude.

When Seo pressed him about whether he kept any secret stash, Lee waved it off: “Absolutely not. She knows everything about me―there’s no way I could pull that off.”

Shin Dong-yup then cracked, “If you’re that transparent, why did you ask to be paid in cash for My Little Old Boy?” drawing big laughs in the studio.

Meanwhile, ahead of his new album, Lee treated the show’s “Mom-vengers” panel to an impromptu live performance that turned heads.
