“Your Net Worth Is 3 Trillion Won?”... Lee Seo-jin’s Immediate Reaction to Kangnam’s Question

[Financial News] Actor Lee Seo-jin personally addressed rumors that his wealth amounted to 3 trillion won. When singer Kangnam mentioned Lee’s wealth and asked how much he was worth, Lee denied it, saying it wasn’t true.
On the 12th, a video was released on the YouTube channel “Neighborhood Friend Kangnami” showing Kangnam spending two days in Singapore dining and enjoying various activities with actors Lee Seo-jin, Kim Kwang-kyu and Ha Ji-won.
In the video, Kangnam visited a high-end seafood restaurant in Singapore with the actors, whom he was meeting again after eight years. During the meal, he told Lee Seo-jin, “I didn’t know much about you, but after filming together, I looked you up and heard you were incredibly rich.”
Kim Kwang-kyu then asked, “When you say ‘enormous,’ how much do you mean?” Kangnam replied, “3 trillion won.”
Lee Seo-jin immediately denied the rumor that his wealth totaled 3 trillion won, saying, “Don’t be ridiculous. What are you talking about? It’s hard to make ends meet these days.”
Even after Lee Seo-jin’s reaction, Kangnam expressed his envy, saying, “He appears on TV every now and then, takes a year or two off at a time, and when you look at his social media, he’s in Dubai—a life every celebrity envies.”
The group later ordered seafood dishes costing about 1,500 Singapore dollars (about 1.5 million won) and made a bet over the cost of the meal.
Kangnam proposed a bet to guess the actual bill, saying, “Your show (SBS’s ‘My Grumpy Secretary’) is on terrestrial TV and has Lee Seo-jin, while we’re independent YouTubers. It’s a showdown between a big corporation and a small business owner.”
Lee Seo-jin, Kim Kwang-kyu and Ha Ji-won’s team won the bet, leaving Kangnam to cover the entire meal bill.
Kangnam was at a loss, saying, “We don’t have a production budget. We won’t be able to put out next week’s video,” while Lee Seo-jin laughed and said, “I enjoyed the meal, Kangnam.”
