Actor Choi Soo-jong revealed his exceptional frugal habits.
On the episode of the KBS 2TV variety show 'The Problem Kids in the Attic' broadcast on the 3rd, actor Choi Soo-jong and his wife Ha Hee-ra appeared as guests.
On this day, Choi Soo-jong revealed that he has a habit of turning off the lights at home. He said, "I automatically turn off the switch as I walk by. The lights should always be turned off."
He then added, "I got scolded by Ha Hee-ra yesterday," and shared an anecdote about the indoor temperature. Choi Soo-jong said, "It was raining, so it was a bit cold, but she had already set it to 25 degrees. I thought 24 degrees would be fine, so I lowered it to 24, and she said, 'Wait, just leave it at 25. It's too cold.' In the end, I followed my wife's wishes," he confessed.

Yang Se-chan, who was listening, asked, "Do you not throw away your belongings either, hyung?"
Choi Soo-jong said, "I use my things for a long time. I have to throw them away only when they are truly unusable," and revealed, "I have two pairs of leather shoes: one black and one brown. They have been with me for 30 years," surprising everyone.
He added, "I just kept replacing the soles. It is still fine even though I have been wearing them for 30 years."
In response, Kim Sook expressed her surprise, saying, "Don't male actors usually keep a full set of dress shoes and such as a basic requirement?"
Ha Hee-ra revealed, "When I offer to buy him some, he absolutely tells me not to. He says he doesn't need them," making his exceptional frugality evident.
