Actress Jeon Won-ju (86) revealed a daily life that contrasts with her 'National Thrifty Woman' image.
On the 9th, the MBN cultural program 'Exclusive World' featured Jeon Won-ju's daily life.
Jeon Won-ju showed a lively appearance as she left her house early in the morning to fulfill her schedule, saying, "I have no days off. I get upset if there’s a day without a schedule. Working is so enjoyable."
She added, "Age is just a number. When people say, 'You are quite old, are you okay?' I want to hit them but I hold it in. Inside, I think, 'What does age matter?'"
When she met Kim Seong-hwan at the performance venue, he asked, "Are you healthy?" and expressed concern, saying, "You've lost some weight." In response, Jeon Won-ju explained, "I don't eat much." Kim Seong-hwan then advised, "Even if you don't have an appetite, you need to take care of your meals. You can't lose any more weight."
After finishing her performance, Jeon Won-ju went to a hotel suite instead of home. She said, "What can I do when I get home? I want to enjoy life in a place like this. As I get older, being frugal in front of money is only temporary. I can't spend all my money."
She continued, "Everyone knows that Jeon Won-ju is thrifty, but these days I also eat expensive things for myself. So I feel comfortable. People say, 'I thought Jeon Won-ju only knew how to save, but she knows how to spend too.' That's how I'm living now."
Having a meal at the hotel, Jeon Won-ju emphasized, "Even though I worked hard to save money, in the end, it all goes to my children. I leave this world empty-handed, so now I need to fill my own stomach and live elegantly."
Meanwhile, Jeon Won-ju appeared on Sunwoo Yong-yeo's channel 'Smooth Sailing Sunwoo Yong-yeo' on the 4th of last month. She appeared with a noticeably slimmer figure, raising concerns about her health.
