Joo Jin-mo acquires a luxury watch worth 27 million won with a hole-in-one… his wife Min Hye-yeon also cheers.
Actor Joo Jin-mo has recently experienced unexpected luck, breaking a long hiatus following personal controversies. He received a luxury watch valued at 27 million won after scoring a hole-in-one during a golf round.
In a video released on the YouTube channel "Byeon Gi-soo Golf TV" on the 27th, Joo Jin-mo successfully scored a hole-in-one with a 7-iron while filming at a country club in Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province. This hole-in-one marks the first record among the participants on that channel, and Joo Jin-mo received a Swiss luxury watch, the Rolex Submariner, worth 27 million won as a prize.
Joo Jin-mo attended a hole-in-one ceremony held in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 26th, where he personally received the watch and noted, "I am really happy to have gained unexpected luck in golf, which I enjoy. I thank 'Byeon Gi-soo Golf TV' for organizing such an event and the sponsor Haijisan for their support." Haijisan's CEO, Ji Sung-sik, remarked, "Honestly, I did not expect a hole-in-one, but I was happy to present the watch after Joo Jin-mo successfully made it."
Joo Jin-mo married his wife, a doctor named Min Hye-yeon, who is 11 years younger, in 2019 but temporarily halted his activities due to a personal data leak scandal arising from a phone hacking just a year after their wedding. Nevertheless, Min Hye-yeon has been continuously updating her social media and YouTube with recent updates about her husband, showing her support.
Min Hye-yeon celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary by releasing a video on her YouTube channel "Doctor Hye-yeon" on the 4th titled "In a relationship for six years... No, we are married now." In the video, Min Hye-yeon gifted her husband a golf iron set, saying, "You fitted it for your birthday last year, and this year, on our wedding anniversary, you received a gift. I wonder if this is why I'm feeling weak today as I spent money," she laughed. Joo Jin-mo responded, "Oh, this is just the beginning," congratulating them on their sixth anniversary while highlighting their sweet couple dynamic.
Min Hye-yeon expressed her joy in relieving daily stress through golf, stating, "Playing golf in nature gives me the feeling of being the successful woman I envisioned in my 20s. I am glad to have a new hobby." Joo Jin-mo also remarked, "It is enjoyable to see you experience relief from nature." Following the news of Joo Jin-mo receiving the luxury watch from the hole-in-one, internet users expressed their surprise and congratulations with comments like, "His love for golf has turned into reality," "What a big fortune from cheering with his wife!" and "27 million won, that's amazing!"
Joo Jin-mo's golf luck transcends mere sports records, serving as a signal for his fans and internet users that he is resuming his active career after a long hiatus.
