Choo Sung-hoon has attracted attention by revealing his principle of 'separate economic living' with his wife Yano Shiho.
On the 8th, in the SBS entertainment program ‘My Ugly Duckling’, former martial artist and broadcaster Choo Sung-hoon appeared as a special MC and showcased his lively talk. That day, he candidly shared everything from a couple's quarrel that occurred through his YouTube channel to his philosophy on wealth management.
Choo Sung-hoon, who said he “revealed the house without his wife's permission,” shared a humorous yet sad story, saying, “The house Yano Shiho revealed before was neat like a hotel, but what I showed was messy with an unmade bed and full of life. That was the problem.” Although the YouTube channel gained great popularity, the fact that a single video led to a couple's quarrel turned the studio into a sea of laughter.
He continued, “Isn't it natural for a person to get messy when they live? You can just clean up every day, so why do I need to get permission?” expressing his grievances and resonating with reality.
Above all, the most talked-about topic on that day’s broadcast was their principle as 'financially independent couple.' He stated, “We do not share our assets,” and declared, “Each of us spends the money we earn. I don’t even know how much I earn. I have no interest at all.”
He also mentioned that he has never informed his wife about his income, joking, “If I earn 100 million, I say it’s 80 million. I have to cut off 20 million when I talk about it,” which drew laughter from the MCs who responded, “That’s really realistic,” and “Honestly, there are many things like this between couples.”
Meanwhile, when asked a question in the MZ generation style, “What would you do if Yano Shiho turned into a cockroach?” Choo Sung-hoon replied, “If I recognize her as my wife, I should raise her. But I’ll manage the bank account. Cockroaches can’t spend money, so humans have to do it,” leaving a ridiculous answer that caused a burst of laughter.
‘My Ugly Duckling’ airs every Sunday night at 9 PM on SBS.
