Actor Joo Jin-mo received a luxury watch worth 27 million won as a hole-in-one reward during a long hiatus following controversy regarding his private life.
In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Byeon Ki-soo Golf TV' on the 27th, Joo Jin-mo is seen making a hole-in-one while filming and receiving a Swiss luxury watch, the Rolex Submariner, worth 27 million won.
According to this, Joo Jin-mo successfully made a hole-in-one with a 7-number rare 9-iron during the filming of 'Byeon Ki-soo Golf TV' at a country club located in Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province. This marks the first hole-in-one recorded by a participant of the channel.
The luxury watch Joo Jin-mo received is known to be a high-end diver watch with an official retail price exceeding 27 million won. It enjoys consistent popularity among watch enthusiasts worldwide.
Joo Jin-mo attended the hole-in-one ceremony held in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 26th to personally receive the watch. He noted, "I am so happy to receive such unexpected luck in golf, which I enjoy. I would like to thank Byeon Ki-soo Golf TV and High Times for preparing this event."
In connection with this, Ji Sung-sik, the representative of the sponsoring company High Times, said, "Honestly, I did not expect a hole-in-one to happen. Nevertheless, I delivered the event prize with joy after Joo Jin-mo succeeded beautifully." He added with a smile, "I'm considering whether to give the next hole-in-one winner a super expensive luxury watch like Patek Philippe, or just casually finish off with a box of golf balls."
Joo Jin-mo married 11 years younger doctor Min Hye-yeon in November 2019. However, he became embroiled in controversy over the leak of his private life due to a cell phone hacking incident just a year after their marriage. As a result, he has taken a hiatus since appearing in the SBS drama 'Big Issue' in 2019. Recently, he has been sharing updates through Min Hye-yeon's social media and YouTube.
