"Nine cars, buy one more house for parking"… Kim Jae-joong's '1 trillion rumor', not an exaggeration but a reality?
The so-called '1 trillion chaebol rumor' about singer Kim Jae-joong has resurfaced once again. This time, vivid testimonies from his close friends Jang Keun-suk and Lee Hong-ki have added to the curiosity about his wealth.
On the 19th, an episode featuring Kim Jae-joong, his close friend actor Jang Keun-suk, and singer Lee Hong-ki was released on the YouTube channel 'Jae friends'. The three showcased their candid conversations, discussing everything from past spending habits to rumors.
The center of attention was undoubtedly Kim Jae-joong's '1 trillion rumor'. Kim Jae-joong started off by saying, "People say I have 1 trillion," to which Jang Keun-suk humorously responded, "I have a lot to say. The rumor about Kim Jae-joong being a chaebol is disrupting Hanyang."
However, Jang Keun-suk admitted, "He's really someone who works all the time. I've known him for nearly 15 years, and I've never seen him take a break," adding, "I honestly acknowledge the possibility that he has earned that much."
Kim Jae-joong also candidly shared, "If I hadn't taken a break and had just earned money, I would have had hundreds of billions," while adding, "The problem is that I overspent," which evoked laughter.
Lee Hong-ki immediately chimed in, "Are you talking about when you had eight cars?" and Jang Keun-suk added, "It was nine. Didn't you buy another house because you had a lack of parking space?" Kim Jae-joong chuckled awkwardly, but this confirmed the 'flexing legend' among the three.
But Kim Jae-joong wasn't the only one who overspent. He retorted to Jang Keun-suk, "You already rode a Rolls Royce in your 20s. That was a dream car OO model," and Lee Hong-ki recalled, "Wasn't that OOO model around at that time too?" reminiscing about Jang Keun-suk's luxurious spending.
Internet users also responded with enthusiasm, saying, "In the past, flexing; now Jae-joong hyung excels in wit on YouTube," "1 trillion rumor… I'm starting to believe it now," and "Buying nine cars and one more house feels so cinematicㅋㅋ," adding to the laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jae-joong continues his active engagements, firmly establishing his 'one-person content empire' across various fields, including his primary work, entertainment, and YouTube.
