"You Talk a Lot, but You're Not Funny" vs. "At Least I Don't Nag My Wife": Moon Hee-jun & Hong Kyung-min Face Off on 'You're My Destiny'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 18:07:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Moon Hee-jun of the legendary 1990s idol group H.O.T. and Hong Kyung-min, famously dubbed the "K-Ricky Martin," are set to engage in a fiery battle of wits.

On the October 6 broadcast of the SBS variety show "You're my destiny", Moon Hee-jun and Hong Kyung-min appear together in the studio to show off their signature quick humor.

Known as two of the entertainment industry's biggest chatterboxes, the two engaged in a tense war of nerves right from the opening. When Moon Hee-jun launched an attack at Hong Kyung-min, saying, "Hyung, you talk a lot, but you're not funny," Hong Kyung-min immediately fired back, "At least I don't nag my wife," sending the entire studio into bursts of laughter.

The episode will also feature Hong Kyung-min and his wife Kim Yu-na, along with their two daughters, taking an analog walk down memory lane by visiting a "memory museum" packed with retro items from the 1970s through the 1990s. While the couple dressed in period school uniforms and surrounded by vintage props brought a wave of nostalgia, the atmosphere took a dramatic turn when past scoop articles about Hong Kyung-min that once dominated the front pages of entertainment newspapers were brought up.

As the vivid past articles were revealed, numerous "live witnesses" who remembered the events of that era reportedly stepped forward in the studio, leaving Hong Kyung-min breaking out in a cold sweat. Curiosity is mounting over the full story behind the "1990s scoop incident" that threw everyone into an uproar.

Featuring the sharp back-and-forth between legendary stars alongside a romantic retro adventure, "You're my destiny" airs tonight (October 6) at 10:40 PM.

xikers Stands with Diabetes Patients, Lending Voices to Campaign Song 'Rhythm Check'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 17:23:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Ahead of their November comeback, boy group xikers has lent their voices to a campaign song aimed at raising awareness for Type 1 diabetes.

xikers participated as vocalists for "Rhythm Check (Walking Together)," the campaign track for "Dangchan Donghaeng", an interactive awareness campaign sponsored by global biopharmaceutical company Sanofi's Korean subsidiary (hereafter Sanofi) and organized by the Korea Type 1 Diabetes Association and the Korea Pancreas Disability Association (hereafter the patient association). The song was released on various music platforms on October 3.

"Dangchan Donghaeng" is an interactive campaign running for 100 days until World Diabetes Day on November 14. Starting with the release of this track, a social media challenge encouraging direct participation from patients and the general public will roll out in full swing.

The campaign theme track "Rhythm Check (Walking Together)" is inspired by the real everyday lives of diabetes patients who live with insulin. The lyrics capture the daily routine of patients who monitor their blood sugar levels and adjust their insulin according to their meals and activities. The subtitle "Walking Together" delivers the message that even if we live at different rhythms, having someone beside us who understands and cheers us on allows us to carry on our daily lives with greater confidence.

xikers is also taking part in the "Dangchan Donghaeng Challenge," which is held in conjunction with the song's release. The challenge begins with an official kickoff declaration from the president and board members of the patient association. Following that, xikers, Chloe Young, the lyricists and composers, patients' families, medical staff, influencers, and industry figures will post videos in a relay format. The challenge consists of two versions: the official full version and a version that can be done using only hand motions.

xikers shared their thoughts, stating, "When we first received this song, we were deeply moved because we could feel the rhythm of diabetes patients protecting their daily lives." They added, "It was meaningful to be part of a song that holds patients' honest stories, and we hope many people will join the 'Dangchan Donghaeng Challenge,' which anyone can easily follow."

Details on how to participate in the "Dangchan Donghaeng Challenge" can be found on the patient association's official website and official social media channels, including Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and blog.

Meanwhile, xikers recently wrapped up their second fan meeting, "roadymap to univerxity," at Zepp Osaka Bayside in Japan. They will make their comeback on November 2 with the release of their eighth mini album, "ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING."

Um Tae-goo to Hit the Streets for Third Time to Sell 'The Big Issue'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 16:14:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Actor Um Tae-goo is taking to the streets once again to help sell "The Big Issue."

According to his agency TEAMHOPE on October 6, Um Tae-goo is scheduled to meet citizens as a "BigDome"—a one-day sales volunteer for "The Big Issue"—near Jonggak Station in Seoul on October 14.

This marks Um Tae-goo's third time participating as a "BigDome." After forming a connection with the magazine as a cover model last year, he began his volunteer journey by stepping directly onto the sales floor. In February and September of last year, he braved freezing temperatures and scorching heat, respectively, to take to the streets and cheer on the vendors.

Returning to the exact same spot this year proves his dedication is far from a one-off gesture. His actions have also inspired his fans, who have voluntarily joined the "BigDome" movement—transforming the actor's personal goodwill into a shared journey of giving.

Um Tae-goo plans to spend another meaningful day on-site, connecting directly with citizens, assisting in sales of "The Big Issue," and offering heartfelt encouragement to vendors.

Um Tae-goo debuted in 2007 with the film "Epitaph" and has since carved out a distinct presence across both film and television. He has showcased his powerful versatility in a wide range of projects, including "The Age of Shadows," "A Taxi Driver," "Night in Paradise," "Save Me 2," "Hometown," and "Inspector Koo."

"I Absolutely Refuse to Do It" Kim Ji-won Shakes Up the Hospital in Teaser for 'Doctor X: Mafia in White'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 16:02:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

"Doctor X: Mafia in White" heightened anticipation for its premiere by unveiling a teaser for Episode 1, highlighting Kim Ji-won's delightfully bold and cathartic moves.

Premiering on Friday, October 9, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" is a refreshing medical noir depicting the journey of Gye Soo-jung (played by Kim Ji-won), also known as Doctor X and dubbed the "Crazy Gye of the operating room," as she dismantles massive corruption with her genius surgical skills.

While the previously released preview video for Episodes 1 and 2 drew significant attention by surpassing 3.89 million views (based on SBS's official YouTube channel) in just four days, the Episode 1 teaser released on October 6 captured viewers' eyes by showcasing Gye Soo-jung's first arrival after being dispatched from a medical temp agency to Guseo University Hospital.

In the video, Gye Soo-jung gestures a large "X" with her arms toward Park Tae-kyung (played by Kim Woo-seok) when asked for her name, and shows uncompromising resolve without bowing to the hospital's established hierarchy, asking, "Why are you opening the abdomen for this?" and declaring, "None of it, I absolutely will not do it." Hospital personnel tremble in fear, saying, "Everything could be shaken because of this person," while Jang Hee-sook (played by Lee Jung-eun), the head of the agency, flashes a confident smile and remarks, "She is the top ace of our agency."

Adding to the tension is the appearance of hospital director Boo Seung-kwon (played by Son Hyun-joo), who ominously remarks, "She's just a tail that can be cut off anyway," as well as the desperate voice of Park Tae-kyung, who is left alone in the operating room shouting, "What are we supposed to do if everyone leaves? There is no one here," heralding the thrilling essence of a medical noir that will sweep in intensely right from the first episode.

Helmed by director Lee Jung-rim, who directed "VIP" and "Revenant," and featuring a stellar cast including Kim Ji-won, Lee Jung-eun, Son Hyun-joo, and Kim Woo-seok, "Doctor X: Mafia in White" premieres on Friday, October 9 at 9:50 p.m.

Actor Hyunsuk, formerly of the group CIX, is taking on his first-ever lead role as he embarks on a fresh chapter in his acting career.

According to his agency Management Run, Hyunsuk has been cast as the male lead, So Yi-jun, in the upcoming drama "Bitch X Rich: Royal Camp."

So Yi-jun is a pivotal figure at the very center of the story revolving around Cheongdam International High School. Characterized by a cool, composed demeanor that rarely betrays his true emotions, the role will see the 188-centimeter-tall Hyunsuk bring the character's complex emotional arcs to life.

Hyunsuk underwent dramatic physical transformations to fit his characters. He previously gained roughly 10 kilograms for the role of Ji Young-hyun in "Study Group Season 2," which recently wrapped filming, and then shed 12 kilograms to take on So Yi-jun in this project. Industry insiders are keeping a close eye on his rapid evolution as an actor, fueled by his fierce concentration and remarkable self-discipline.

Hyunsuk debuted as a member of CIX in 2019. Following the group's official conclusion of activities in April 2026, he signed an exclusive contract with Management Run in June 2026 to focus on acting. While he balanced acting alongside his music career during his idol days, this project marks his debut as a drama lead.

"Bitch X Rich: Royal Camp" is a teen thriller set against the backdrop of a high school and is currently preparing to enter production.

In addition to tour stories, they also talked about spending vacation and Chuseok holidays in Korea for the first time in a while, sharing family moments, the Korean food they craved while abroad, and their pre-stage routines. The broadcast also highlighted several of OMEGA X's tracks, including "Renegade", "Day Zero", and "Life Detox".

"It Says Arriving Soon, So Where Is It?" Yu Jae-seok Grows Restless on 'Whenever Possible'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 13:57:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

On "Whenever Possible," Yu Jae-seok cannot hide his impatience when faced with the trademark laid-back pace of Chungcheong locals.

In the episode of the SBS variety show "Whenever Possible" airing on October 6, the "Two Yoo Hosts," Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok, team up with guest "gap-friends" actors Yoo Jae-myung and Lee Sun-bin to seek out spare moments across the Cheonan area.

During the shoot, Seoul-native Yu Jae-seok grows anxious at a bus stop when the bus fails to arrive for over two minutes despite the digital transit sign reading "Arriving soon." When Yu Jae-seok asks, "In Seoul, when it says 'Arriving soon,' it arrives within 30 seconds, so is it not here yet?" Cheonan native Lee Sun-bin calmly retorts, "Ain't this Chungcheong Province?" bringing laughter to the set.

Even after boarding the bus, the restlessness continues for Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeonseok, and Yoo Jae-myung, who hail from Seoul and Busan. As the three men press at every single stop, asking, "Are we there yet?" Yu Jae-seok casts a doubtful look, remarking, "You've been saying we're getting off soon since earlier, but we still haven't arrived. I can't trust what Sun-bin says anymore."

In response, Lee Sun-bin reportedly put the three men at ease immediately by explaining the unique Chungcheong way of calculating time, saying, "In Chungcheong Province, a 10-minute distance is practically right around the corner. We really are almost there."

The Tuesday night variety ratings leader "Whenever Possible" airs tonight (October 6) at 9 PM.

Furthermore, 16-year-old Yeoju teen Kim So-yeon touched viewers' hearts with a moving performance of "About the Loneliness of Love," channeling her longing for her recently deceased father. Moon Geun-young shed tears and remarked, "I just wanted to give her a big hug." On the other hand, Moon sparked bursts of laughter by showing her fangirl side during the stage of Jeju youth Lee Min-woo, who performed Harim's "Incurable Disease," confessing, "From the very first note, I just completely lost my mind."

Having fallen in love with Cha Kyung-eun at first sight during pre-production, Lee openly shared his sincere feelings and actively pursued her after filming wrapped. Cha reciprocated, and the two have been dating with marriage in mind since June.

Confident in their bond, the couple shared their intentions with both families shortly after they began dating and received their blessing, leading quickly to marriage thanks to their bold decision and determination.

Lee You-jin made his debut in the 2013 MBC drama "Goddess of Fire" and has since showcased his talent across various projects, including "Hello, My Twenties! 2", "Familiar Wife", "Be Melodramatic", "Do You Like Brahms?", and "Three Bold Siblings". In May of this year, he finished in second place on ENA's "Director's Arena", proving his capability as a director while also celebrating the joy of meeting his life partner. Lee is also widely recognized as the son of veteran actor Lee Hyo-jung and the nephew of actor Lee Ki-young.

The bride-to-be, Cha Kyung-eun, debuted in the 2021 short film "Peach" and went on to appear in the web drama "PickGo", U+ Mobile TV's "Mirae's Future", and the sketch comedy channel "Shortbox". She gained wider public recognition as a regular cast member on Coupang Play's "SNL Korea Reboot Season 7".

Following their marriage, the two plan to continue their active careers in their respective fields as actors and creators.

'Unanswered Questions' Exposes Chilling Gwangju Murder: 4,000 Home Cam Files Reveal Meticulously Planned Crime by Public Official

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 10:41:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Why did he brutally murder his wife right in front of their child?

The October 3 broadcast of SBS's "Unanswered Questions" delved into the murder case involving a public official in Gwangju.

On September 1, a woman leaving her multi-family home in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, to take her five-year-old child to daycare met a gruesome death. The person who indiscriminately attacked her in front of her young daughter was none other than her husband, identified by his surname Yeom.

Wearing a helmet and lying in wait on the stairs, Yeom stabbed the 34-year-old victim with a weapon in 28 different places before fleeing on the motorcycle he had arrived on.

Yeom, a public official married for five years, was apprehended just four hours after fleeing. His acquaintances speculated that the act was an impulsive crime triggered by the sudden divorce lawsuit, remarking, "He never showed any violent tendencies. Something we don't know about must have driven him crazy."

Yeom likewise claimed that his crime was provoked by the stress of the divorce lawsuit.

Eun-ah's family also never anticipated that Yeom would resort to murder. In an attempt to understand why he carried out such a brutal act, they searched for a USB drive containing evidence Eun-ah had previously gathered for the divorce. Eun-ah's younger sibling managed to locate the drive in her home after much effort.

Over 4,000 home cam video files were stored on the USB drive. In addition, around 600 audio files remained on her mobile phone. After reviewing the home cam footage alongside the production team, Eun-ah's sibling drew attention by stating, "Strangely, I don't feel angry. I just feel so sorry for my sister."

In the home cam footage, Yeom appeared completely different from how his acquaintances had described him. He frequently vented his dissatisfaction toward the victim over financial issues. In particular, he obsessively fixated on trivial amounts of a few thousand or even a few hundred won, hurling verbal abuse and making threats.

In response, the victim secretly contacted the police, and with police assistance, she was finally able to be separated from Yeom along with her child. Furthermore, after Yeom was taken away by the police, the victim returned home, erased all clues on Yeom's phone that could be used to track her whereabouts, and escaped.

However, the victim's residential address was subsequently exposed in the divorce complaint sent to Yeom, leading him to track her down and brutally murder her.

The two met in a social club and dated before starting a family after expecting a child. Yeom stopped holding back his dissatisfaction once the victim took childcare leave. This escalated into disputes over money, with Yeom speaking of marriage and childbirth as if they were someone else's concerns, declaring that getting married in the first place had been a mistake and blaming everything on the victim.

Drinking after work had become a habit for Yeom, who picked fights over trivial matters, used abusive language, and on some days even threatened the victim with a weapon. Consequently, the victim visited a police station for a consultation. At the time, the police recommended filing a formal case, but the victim chose only to receive counseling—a decision presumed to stem from consideration for Yeom, who was deeply obsessed with maintaining his civil servant status.

Analyzing their conflicts, an expert stated, "He starts with small, specific issues, interrogates the victim, and gets angry no matter how she answers. The questions already have predetermined answers, serving merely as an outlet to vent his anger at her. The victim simply listens, enduring the perpetrator's one-sided outburst."

The expert also pointed out, "He constantly calculated profits and losses, and money accounted for the highest proportion of what he cited as sacrifices. The perpetrator seems to have viewed marriage as a contract rather than love." Indeed, Yeom claimed he gained nothing from the marriage and blamed everything on the victim.

The expert added, "Their conversations were entirely one-sided. The perpetrator rampaged alone, hurling verbal abuse and digging for pretexts to induce shame in the other person. Meanwhile, the victim patiently endured it, likely for the sake of their child."

Yeom was said to have been a good father only to his child. However, one day during an argument with the victim, when the child began crying, he irritably threw the child onto the floor and closed the door. When the child cried intensely, Yeom once again hurled the child to the floor. Seeing Yeom harming their child, the victim could no longer endure it, gathered great courage, and called the police. This incident ultimately drove her decision to pursue a divorce.

Regarding the perpetrator Yeom, the expert remarked, "He exhibits a tendency to perceive interpersonal relationships in purely calculated terms. With shallow emotionality, he may suffer from a lack of unconditional love—both in giving and receiving affection without conditions." The expert added, "He reportedly cut ties almost completely with his parents. While it is unclear what issues existed during his childhood, his mindset suggests that if someone causes him harm, he is willing to resent and blame even his own parents."

The production team visited Yeom's parents in person. His mother stated that she had lost contact with her son for quite some time and knew little about the specific circumstances of the incident. However, she defended him, saying, "Before he got married, he was truly a good son and worked very hard."

Yeom's father revealed that he had been unable to care for his son properly due to financial struggles, and that Yeom had contacted him after the incident. The father stated that Yeom committed the crime after the victim refused to let him see their daughter, adding, "When he drank, he became a lunatic. So he went there fully intending to kill her. He must accept and face punishment for what he did wrong."

The victim ran the household and cared for their child on the 750,000 won per month provided by Yeom. Yeom controlled the victim's spending down to increments of 100 won. Yet he never gave up alcohol or cigarettes and regularly attended the gym.

The perpetrator believed that men and women were not equal, that his future would be reduced to that of an ATM, and that men were pitiful. Claiming that he was the victim and the one making sacrifices, he placed all the blame for the divorce on his wife. In particular, he insisted that he had made nothing but sacrifices through marriage.

On this, the expert commented, "Yeom effectively purchased a wife with money. He vented the self-pity and resentment accumulated since childhood by drinking every night after marriage to relieve stress."

The expert further pointed out, "What was most important to the perpetrator was his status as a public official." Yeom acted like a sacrificing family provider on the outside while reigning like a king at home. It was revealed that those around him were entirely unaware of his double life.

After being separated from the victim, Yeom immediately worried about disciplinary action from the postal service; he badmouthed the victim to a colleague and even considered hiring a private detective agency to track down her location.

Furthermore, he complained about the money he had spent on the victim, saying, "If I die alone, all 200 million won will go to my wife, which feels unfair." He then ominously stated that he would never die alone.

Yeom flew into a rage after receiving a standard divorce complaint. The expert analyzed, "It must have been a shock to him. Thinking, 'Would she really go that far?', he likely never believed the victim would actually abandon him. Underlying this was the mindset that if they divorced, he must never suffer a loss." The expert continued, "The biggest reason he refused to accept the divorce seems to have been his worry over money, division of assets, alimony, and child support. He likely feared that if the matter went to a divorce trial, his workplace would find out, a disciplinary committee would be convened, and he would lose his status as a civil servant."

Regarding the reason why he waited two weeks before committing the crime after learning the victim's residential address from the divorce complaint, the expert analyzed, "He seems to have checked her movement routes, daily habits, whether she lived with anyone, and whether she was under police protection, all to execute a meticulously planned murder."

In fact, before the murder, Yeom had told a colleague that he confirmed the victim's sibling was not living at her residence.

In the audio recording of the final conversation with the victim before her death, Yeom appeared emotionally agitated when she told him she would come to retrieve her belongings accompanied by police officers.

The expert observed, "When the victim says, 'I don't want to see you,' the perpetrator lets out a hollow laugh. His emotional state shifts drastically at that moment, seemingly thinking, 'This isn't going to work.'"

The expert added, "During the separation period, the perpetrator drank alone every day and focused obsessively on various thoughts. He appears to have experienced an escalation of aggressive impulses fueled by growing resentment and blame toward the victim."

The expert also expressed deep concern for the victim's young daughter, noting, "When the perpetrator's violent outbursts began, the child exhibited a freezing response out of anxiety. It was as if she momentarily retreated to another world in an apparently calm state." The expert elaborated, "Even before the separation order, when the perpetrator was hugging the child, she remained frozen; only upon being released did she act as if waking up, calmly packing her toys. It appears the child was exposed to an environment where such violence was pervasive. Thorough treatment seems absolutely necessary."

The victim reported him to the police four times, yet the state failed to protect her. In response, an expert emphasized, "Once a report of domestic violence is made, arresting the perpetrator should be mandatory. Police should not ask the victim. The victim is in no position to make such a choice." The expert added, "To him, the predetermined rule was that his position as a postal civil servant must never be jeopardized."

Following the victim's reports, the police implemented protective measures according to manual guidelines, but in reality, these measures proved ineffective.

The expert voiced urgent concern, stating, "Historically in our country, domestic violence cases have been handled with a priority on preserving the family unit. There has been a practice of taking no action and merely observing if the victim states they do not wish for punishment, but police should have the authority to arrest and open a formal criminal case on their own initiative." The expert called for institutional reforms that reflect the unique nature of domestic violence.

Under current procedures, personal information in divorce complaints is protected only if a prior redaction request is filed. Addressing this, the expert pointed out, "This divorce complaint was filed alongside a lawyer. Even so, her address was exposed. If it is a system where even professionals can miss it, then the institutional setup itself is fundamentally flawed."

Yeom's father also lamented the critical flaw in the existing system, saying, "This could have been prevented. Why would the victim's address be disclosed? If he hadn't known where she lived, he wouldn't have been able to kill her even if he wanted to."

Currently, a proposed legislative amendment allowing the court to redact victim information ex officio has been introduced, but it remains pending.

Finally, the broadcast drew attention by offering words of solace to those facing similar situations to the victim: "We hope this does not leave you with the helpless feeling that running away is futile." The show expressed confidence that society will soon establish definitive measures to protect individuals seeking a safe separation.

'Money Is Everything': Lee Seo-jin Delivers Hilariously Blunt Advice to RESCENE on 'My Genie Secretary'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 10:34:00 +0900

Lee Seo-jin held nothing back as he delivered, practical "T-type" advice to rookie girl group RESCENE.

On the October 2 broadcast of SBS's "Whatever You Need Genie - My Genie Secretary" (hereafter "My Genie Secretary"), girl group RESCENE, who received the highest number of recommendations for "My Star," made an appearance on the show.

During the handover session with the "My Genie Secretary" team, RESCENE's manager explained that the members consider meals essential, requesting, "They love Korean food. Because they often want different dishes, please order according to each member's taste."

To this, Lee Seo-jin brought laughter by quipping, "Are you already catering to everything they want? Have they made it big already?" When told that the members cheer up when praised whenever their energy drops, Lee sparked roars of laughter by adding, "This is no different from Seo Inyoung. It's a princess every single week. Every shoot is about treating them like princesses."

The manager continued with the handover notes. Pointing to a large mat, the manager explained, "They need to rest in between schedules, so we carry a mat around. Whenever the members say they want to rest, please spread out the mat. They will lie down and rest on it."

Lee Seo-jin immediately remarked, "Everyone else is working, and they just lie down on their own? Even I don't do that. No matter how tired I get, I never go and just lie down anywhere." When the manager explained that the members were exhausted from catching catnaps amid their packed schedule, Lee offered a pragmatic reality check that drew attention: "Being able to take catnaps is happiness. Do you think staying home every day taking naps because you have no schedule is happiness? That's not something to feel sorry about. It's a great thing."

Lee Seo-jin's logical and blunt attitude extended directly to the members as well. When WONI expressed disappointment about having to leave behind her half-eaten bowl of malatang after being called for filming, Lee comforted her, saying, "Take your time. Eat, eat. It's fine. Don't worry about reading the room. You guys have made it big now, so there's no need to walk on eggshells."

WONI then asked, "Our commercial fees won't suddenly get cut, right?" Lee made everyone laugh by answering, "You've hit it big, so you have to raise your rates for the next contract. You can't just be an easy pushover."

Hearing this, MINAMI felt flustered and said, "I don't even know what to say." Later in an interview with the production team, she brought laughter by sharing, "He gave us advice that we could never hear from the adults around us."

Lee Seo-jin provoked even more laughter by noting, "You just enjoy it while things are going well. If things keep getting better, that's great, and if not, you just live quietly while looking back on the past."

Lee's practical guidance kept coming. When the members shared that they had not yet received their first settlement payment, Lee advised, "You must save your money steadily. If you invest in weird stocks, you'll ruin yourself financially."

He added, "You don't even need to know anything about stocks. And once you receive your payment, don't spend it recklessly; just save it." MAY then made an adorable comment, saying, "I'm going to buy squishies." Lee drew a firm line and joked, "Only buy three or four squishies," cracking up the room.

When the members asked about hobbies and finding small pleasures in life, Lee delivered the pinnacle of his realistic perspective: "When you make a lot of money, happiness naturally follows."

When WONI asked, "Is money really everything?" Lee firmly replied, "It's everything, totally everything." As WONI struggled to understand his viewpoint, the production staff asked her, "Weren't you happy when you moved into a 100-pyeong dorm?"

When WONI admitted, "I was so happy," Lee drew laughter by remarking, "Capitalism has already seeped into you. You're heading in the right direction. That's how you become a slave to capitalism."

Even afterward, Lee maintained that money is top priority. Alongside Kim Kwang-kyu, he drew attention by offering practical cautions: "Once you get your first settlement payment, plenty of scammers will come flocking. Watch out for jeonse rental deposit scams, and make sure to safeguard your personal seal carefully."
