"Neighbor Jeon Ji-hyun" Choi Hwa-jung, owner of 11 billion won, did she really lose it in crypto? "I lost money" a candid confession
Broadcaster Choi Hwa-jung brought laughter with frank talk, from a glamorous single life to confessing investment failures(?)
On the 19th episode of the SBS entertainment show "My manager is too picky for me — the secretaries," Choi Hwa-jung appeared and shared relatable conversations with Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu.
That day when Choi Hwa-jung said "I have no intention of marrying," Lee Seo-jin asked, "Haven't you dated a lot?" and posed the realistic question, "If we meet now, do you plan to care for a sick person?" which provoked laughter. Choi Hwa-jung shot back, "Should I meet a healthy younger man like you?" and Lee Seo-jin replied, "The senior probably wouldn't want to date," prompting Choi Hwa-jung to say, "That hurts. Show me your bank balance," to which Lee Seo-jin answered, "Then I would be shaken too," turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
When Kim Kwang-kyu asked, "Please hold a housewarming," Choi Hwa-jung readily answered, "Sure, come. I would be happy if you came," and Lee Seo-jin revealed, "I went once," saying, "It's a glass-walled house and I live alone in a 70-pyeong," which surprised everyone. Choi Hwa-jung said it was a "house in a forest district" and revealed, "I'm neighbors with actress Jeon Ji-hyun," startling everyone. She even added, "I probably used a house as wedding cash," joking about her unusual wealth.
Later in the tarot corner, Choi Hwa-jung's candid remarks continued. When asked which was most important among money, honor and dreams, she said, "I have never experienced a time when money stopped in my life. Money follows," adding, "My goal is to be a nice person. Honor over money."
But she soon confessed, "I am financially stuck in something. I wonder if it will hit big," sharing investment worries. She admitted she was doing crypto. As she had recently revealed in YouTube content that "I lost a lot to stocks," her frank tale of investment failure drew renewed attention. She hoped at the tarot's prediction that "there will be big luck in 2026," but laughed in surprise at the fortune teller's comment that "May is risky and there is financial luck in August and October."
Meanwhile, Choi Hwa-jung previously sparked interest by disclosing her income and assets in a YouTube segment in which she visited a marriage information agency. She said, "I'm somewhat stable. I became stable because I started working early," and added, "I own one house," prompting the manager to exclaim, "Isn't that an income that could buy a foreign car every month?" which surprised viewers. Choi Hwa-jung laughed and acknowledged it.
In particular, the Seongsu-dong apartment where Choi Hwa-jung is reported to live drew attention again after being reported sold last year for about 11 billion won.
Glamorous wealth, a cool wit, and a candid confession about investments. Declaring herself "neighbor Jeon Ji-hyun," Choi Hwa-jung's single life once again captured viewers' attention on that day's broadcast.
