Broadcaster Do Kyung Wan introduced his only hobby of collecting wristwatches and revealed watches he bought with his own money.

On the 22nd, a video titled "finally revealing it" was uploaded to the channel 'Dojang TV'. 

Do Kyung Wan said, "The only space in my house that is allowed to me is the study; today I'll also show my room, and my only hobby and collection is collecting wristwatches, so I'll introduce a few." 

Do Kyung Wan said he had collected wristwatches for the past three years and owned many related machines such as watch winders and rotors. "They are machines that artificially wind watches; there are some underneath and there are too many. I know I'll get criticized, but not all of them are expensive; there are many that cost 20,000–30,000 won. I'm not collecting for the money but for the watch's history and memories with me," he said. 

On why he collects watches, he said, "I had emergency osteomyelitis surgery on my hand, so I rested activities for two to three years and I don't have fingernails. My index finger has a false nail. Because they removed the nail and operated on the bone inside, I don't have fingernails, so I always wear false nails. After the surgery my hand was a mess," and recalled, "I don't wear any jewelry except my wedding ring. I wondered how to distract attention from my now-ugly hand and reduce stress, and while passing by a department store I saw a handsome foreign model wearing a watch. At that moment I thought, 'Should I try wearing a wristwatch?'"

He said he developed an appetite for watches after that, and showed his special love for watches by introducing the first watch he bought with his own money, a top luxury brand R model, and a precious O model handed down from his father.

Do Kyung Wan also said, "There is a watch that Yoon Jeong bought me for my birthday not long ago. But for the record, I give more gifts. 'He's again clinging to Jang Yoon Jeong...' That's not true. (laughs) I'm better at giving gifts. You have to admit that," and added, "Yoon Jeong and I went into a department store while passing by and tried it on, and surprisingly it fit me perfectly. It's masculine but gives a Tetos-like flavor, so it's perfect for wearing. Because it's a watch Yoon Jeong bought me, I'm wearing it with care," showing pride. 

For reference, R's watch is known to be in the 15 million won range, and the watch Jang Yoon Jeong bought as a birthday present is reported to be at least 4.5 million won. <
