Actress Jeon Won-ju confessed that she was swindled out of a large sum of money by a younger man.
On the 15th, Jeon appeared as a guest on SBS's 'Shoe Off, Dolsing Po Man', sharing various stories with actress Kim Young-ok and singer Shin Ji.
MC Lee Sang-min mentioned Jeon Won-ju's past experience of being swindled out of 50 million won by a younger man and asked, "What was the reason you gave him money?" Jeon responded, "If I want to give it, I will give it."
Jeon explained that the younger man claimed he needed money because he was very ill, saying, "I gave him the surgery fee, but it was a lie."
In particular, she stated, "I have no regrets at all. I believe that those who have should give."
In response, Kim Young-ok remarked, "Now people will line up to get 50 million won from you," and pointedly added, "You didn't give; you were taken advantage of. When a young person says they are sick, you didn't give the surgery fee out of goodwill, but rather out of a harsh heart, didn't you?"
Jeon tried to clarify that she spends a lot of money invisibly, but Kim Young-ok humorously replied, "I don't believe that."
Born in 1939, Jeon Won-ju is 85 years old this year. She experienced the pain of losing her first husband three years after their marriage and later remarried, only to lose her second husband in 2013.
