S.E.S. alum actress Yujin revealed an unexpectedly frugal side.
On the 12th, a video titled "Lolo family nostalgic foods, special kimbap & sandwich recipes first reveal" was uploaded to the "Yujin VS Ki Tae-young" channel.
That day, Yujin revealed her own "mackerel kimbap" recipe. While cooking, the production staff mentioned tableware and suggested, "Please introduce things like this later," and Yujin said, "Shall we?" adding, "I really want to buy good cutlery, but pretty and good things are expensive," she confessed.
The production staff asked, "Still, don't you have at least one expensive item?" and Yujin answered bluntly, "No." The production staff said in wonder, "That seems a bit surprising. Still, I thought you'd have at least one," and Yujin said, "Surprisingly, both of us don't spend much money. But even if you don't spend, it still costs a lot. Raising kids. Sending the kids to school.." conveying the reality that raising children costs a lot.
At that moment, Ki Tae-young, who appeared, asked, "Why?" and Yujin explained, "No, expensive cutlery or spoons and forks—I don't have many, so it's surprising. Don't these look expensive? They're really cheap." Ki Tae-young said, "When I first met Yujin, one of the things that surprised me and made her look good was her frugality. She really doesn't crave expensive things as much as you'd think. But I'm like that too."
Yujin retorted, "I have them now," but Ki Tae-young said, "No. That can't be considered having them." Then Yujin said, "Now you're like this and won't buy them for me," and Ki Tae-young replied, "No, I'll buy them for you." Yujin then said, "He will buy them," indicating she was joking.
Ki Tae-young revealed, "I'm really not greedy for those things, so I'm more likely to tell her to buy them. I don't buy them. Even if I don't buy them, my wife will do it. I know, but I really don't need them," and Yujin said, "I wish oppa would do it a bit more," prompting laughter. Ki Tae-young corrected, "It's more accurate that there just wasn't anything I liked," and Yujin said, "That's right. Oppa has high standards. But recently he found a pretty pair of sunglasses and still bought them right away."
Ki Tae-young said, "I was a bit surprised. It was so good I bought it right away. While suitability matters, I think it has to be pretty," setting a clear standard. Yujin said, "That's why I can't give oppa gifts well. Because he might not like them. He has very high standards," and added, "I'm not picky. I use most gifts I get," appealing and drawing more laughter.
Ki Tae-young said, "I've never described myself as having high standards. I never thought of it that way, but Yujin gave me that definition," and boasted of his eye for things, "If I say it's okay, it's really okay." Yujin said, "Anyway, he's a convenient person," and Ki Tae-young asked, "Please say I'm a sharp person." Yujin bragged, "People these days tell me I married well, that I chose my spouse well, and I completely agree 100%. But I chose him. It's my ability," bringing cheerful amusement.
Meanwhile, Yujin and Ki Tae-young married in 2011 and have two daughters, Ro-hee and Ro-rin. In particular, their daughters reportedly attend an international school located in Songdo, Incheon, drawing attention. This school is known as the most expensive in the country, with tuition from kindergarten through high school at about 600 million won per student.
