Singer Kim Jaejoong explained the recently sensationalized "1 trillion won asset" rumor and drew attention by revealing his unique personal financial management method.
On the previously aired KBS2 Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant, Kim Jaejoong actively refuted the "1 trillion won asset" rumor surrounding him. Among internet users, rumors circulated that the size of his asset exceeded 100 billion won and reached the 1 trillion won level, and upon hearing this, Kangnam exclaimed, "Hyung, did you earn that much?" in surprise.
Kim Jaejoong said, "I once joked while talking with Joo Woo-jae that 'he would still make at least 100 billion won,'" and explained, "A joke that 'you'd earn that much before tax if you saved for 23 years' was distorted on YouTube into 1 trillion won." He waved his hand at the camera saying, "That's not true," but Kangnam continued the joke, saying, "I think he's close to 1 trillion," which drew laughter.
Relatedly, on the YouTube channel "JaeChingu" released on the 13th, Kim Jaejoong revealed an even more interesting personal philosophy on money management. When asked the secret to being able to stay active steadily for a long time, he replied without hesitation, "I have a definite trick. Make your bank account balance zero once every eight years." At the sudden remark, Roy Kim was surprised, and Kim Jaejoong explained the reason: "The moment you empty the balance, your fighting spirit rises like crazy. Even the paths you usually walk feel like running; your mind is purified."
But he added that he does not actually spend all his money. "Only my account becomes zero. I move it to other safe places; ultimately, it's 'investment'," he said. When Roy Kim asked, "Ah, so you don't really spend all the money but move it?", Kim Jaejoong said, "Yes. I only make the visible deposit-withdrawal account zero."
Kim Jaejoong honestly acknowledged the risks of this method. "But it could really disappear. I've gone through that kind of crisis about four times," he said. However, he emphasized, "You have to know how to empty it to regain your original mindset," and added, "If you make the account zero, you can maintain tension in your economic activities."
Recently drawing attention amid even the "1 trillion won asset" rumor, Kim Jaejoong made clear through this video that his "zero-won management method" is not about consumption but a self-management approach for maintaining his original mindset and motivation and for managing investments.<
