Singer and actor Lee Joon revealed that he bought a house for his mother.

On the 10th, Lee Joon and Kwanghee appeared as guests on KBS2's 'Problematic Children in the Rooftop Room'.

That day, Yang Se-chan said, "They say Lee Joon looks like Kim Jong-kook," to which Kim Jong-kook replied, "I think it's more about style and values than looks." Joo Woo-jae chimed in, "It seems to be because of the frugality."

Lee Joon said, "I really saved a lot until I was 30. My family was a bit struggling. I never bought clothes." He continued, "One day I went to a department store and saw the tag and thought, 'I can buy this.'

Hearing this, Kim Jong-kook said, "You went to a department store? That's totally not our department." Lee Joon replied, "It was really bad back then. I was probably worse than Kim Jong-kook."

When Kim Jong-kook reacted negatively to the department store visit, Yang Se-chan said, "Kim Jong-kook would only think about buying something if it was 90% off." Nevertheless, Kim Jong-kook said, "Still, I wouldn't buy it," and Song Eun-yi joked, "The last department store Kim Jong-kook went to was probably Midopa Department Store."

Lee Joon stated, "I really don't indulge. I consider efficiency. I buy expensive things that I feel will be with me forever. But for consumables that will disappear, I buy cheap ones." Kim Jong-kook agreed, saying, "It's right to spend on things I like and find valuable."

Meanwhile, Kim Sook asked, "What's the most expensive thing you've bought lately?" Lee Joon replied, "I bought a house for my mother." He added, "I've been driving the same car for four years. But I don't wash it," which drew laughter.

When asked, "Didn't you say you saved a lot before turning 30? How much did you save out of a million won?" Lee Joon surprised everyone by saying, "I haven't spent anything on myself at all. I've spent on my family, but I've never treated myself to something delicious."
