Mixed martial artist Choo Sung Hoon expressed curiosity about Korea's wedding cash-gift culture.
On the 29th, a video titled "How much do you people give?" was uploaded to Choo Sung Hoon's YouTube channel.
That day Choo Sung Hoon wondered, "In Korea, is there an etiquette amount that you have to give at a wedding?" and said, "In Japan it is always 300,000 won in Korean money."
Hearing this, the production staff exclaimed, "Whether you're close or not?" and Choo Sung Hoon said, "It doesn't matter. The smallest amount people give is 300,000 won. In Japan."
Then the production staff gave their own standards: "If you don't go to the wedding, 50,000 won; for a reasonably close person who buys the meal, 100,000 to 150,000 won. And a really close friend, as you said, between 300,000 and 1,000,000."
He explained, "But this varies so much from person to person. It's a topic that causes a lot of debate," and Choo Sung Hoon asked, "Subscribers, please leave a comment about how much you give as wedding cash gifts."
Especially Choo Sung Hoon said, "Please don't fight. Everyone is different, so I'm asking because I want to know," preventing an overheated atmosphere in advance.
Then comments shared each person's standards for wedding cash gifts. Since this has been a long-running debate, opinions in the comments were divided. In this context, regarding Japan's wedding gifts starting at 300,000 won, an explanation appeared that "In Japan they don't invite people unless they're really close in the first place," and some netizens agreed, saying, "That might actually be better."
