'Singer Hong Kyung-min revealed that even after 12 years of marriage, his father still manages his finances.
'The MBN variety program 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi,' which aired on the 30th, was themed 'Do You Know Why You're Not Happy?' and featured Hong Kyung-min, Lee Ji-hyun, and Ko Myung-hwan as guests.
'That day, Hong Kyung-min said, "My father was particularly sensitive about money and disciplined me strictly. He would say, "You released an album, so you're a singer now. If you keep going, you might become popular. But don't think you can just come home and say, "I'm a star now, so I don't have to follow the rules." If you want to live in a foreign car and buy luxury goods, I have two sons, so one of them can do without." This surprised everyone."

'He continued, "The thing I hated most during my prime was singing on a nightclub stage. Drunk people would mix in, some would throw coins, and others would insult me. I often thought, "Do I really have to sing in a place like this?" It was the rashness of youth, but the decisive moment came when my father told me, "If someone invites you to sing, you should be grateful. Other people have to pay to sing, but you get paid to sing." That changed my perspective."
'Regarding financial management, Hong Kyung-min said, "My father never let me manage my own money. He said, "If I leave it to you, you'll only end up doing good deeds for others."
'He added, "One of the reasons I respect my wife the most is because of this. In today's world, why would a woman have to do everything herself? At first, my wife thought, "That's not right," but she eventually accepted it coolly. It's not that she can't spend the money she needs. Sometimes you see income issues among celebrity families, but my case is the exact opposite. We don't spend much money."
'Lee Ji-hyun asked, "So you don't know how much your assets are?" Hong Kyung-min replied, "This might sound funny, but I don't know exactly."
'Meanwhile, Hong Kyung-min married 10-year-younger geomungo player Kim Yu-na in October 2014, and they have two daughters.
