Singer Park Seo-jin has been revealed to have invested a whopping 20 million won into setting up a studio after falling deeply into minhwa (Korean traditional painting).
In a recent episode of KBS2's 'Salimnan Season 2' (The Man Who Does Housework Season 2), Park Seo-jin, who won a special prize at a minhwa competition, was shown preparing a separate studio in one corner of his house with the goal of holding an exhibition, continuing his artistic endeavors. Through the broadcast, the cost he invested in minhwa work and his working environment were disclosed in detail.
Park Seo-jin's house is equipped with a variety of items, including exercise equipment, a sauna machine, and beauty devices. In particular, for his minhwa work, he purchased high-priced hanji (traditional Korean paper), hundreds of brushes and paints, a tablet PC, and various other specialized supplies. In relation to this, he previously garnered attention after it was revealed that he spent approximately 100 million won on cosmetic procedures.
On this day's broadcast, Park Seo-jin's younger sister Hyo-jung suggested reviewing their spending habits and proposed a '2026 Edition of 10,000 Won Happiness.' The two took on a mission to spend a day with 16,500 won, which is the equivalent of 10,000 won from 2003 adjusted for current inflation. The loser would face penalties of deleting their food delivery app and receiving a flick to the forehead.
To get to a broadcasting schedule, the siblings had to travel from Incheon to Yeouido, and they chose bicycles to save on transportation costs. While riding bikes in the hot weather, Park Seo-jin asked Hyo-jung for water but was refused, eventually getting water from a nearby restaurant. When the travel time became longer than expected, Park Seo-jin gave up on the bicycle to make it to his rehearsal time and used the production team's vehicle, spending 5,000 won on fuel costs.
Even after arriving at the broadcasting station, unexpected expenses continued. Park Seo-jin tried to get a free coffee from Eun Ga-eun, whom he ran into by chance, but because Eun Ga-eun did not have her card, he ended up paying for the coffee himself.
To make up for the reduced budget, he visited the comedians' room and earned money by drawing caricatures on the spot. During this process, Kim Young-hee suggested that Park Seo-jin choose his ideal type among his junior comedians, and he selected Hwang Hye-sun. The two shared a handshake, creating a shy atmosphere. Hwang Hye-sun offered to give her contact information instead of paying for the caricature, but Park Seo-jin was too embarrassed and left first, so no actual contact information was exchanged.
Park Seo-jin purchased a meal voucher with the money he earned directly and took care of his meal. In the final 'envelope swap,' Park Seo-jin, who won the rock-paper-scissors game, chose Hyo-jung's envelope, but only 200 won was left inside, making him the ultimate loser. He received the penalties of deleting his delivery app and a flick to the forehead, and he shared that spending a day on a set amount made him realize the true value of money.
