Actor Sunwoo Yong-yeo (81) confessed the reason why she took on about 20 billion won in debt in the past and liquidated it after 10 years.

On the 7th, a video of the guest Sunwoo Yong-yeo's episode was released on the YouTube channel "Knowledge Inside" as the 98th episode of "Intellectual Invitation."

In the video, Sunwoo Yong-yeo recalled when she got married in 1969, saying, "My husband didn't come to the wedding. Someone told me (my husband) is at the police station and told me to stamp him to get him out. I stamped my seal without time to read the documents," he said.

He then said, "At that time, the person my husband served like my father failed the election. They're saying they'll pay back the 17.5 million won bill instead. He came out (from the police station) and saw it, and he asked me why I stamped it. At that time, my husband had paid back 67 million won to 7 million won, and I became a debtor when I stamped my stamp. I had to pay back the rest of the money. At that time, the price of a house was 500,000 won, so the debt was almost 20 billion won today. It's a huge amount of money," he said.

Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "And yet I didn't think it was a crisis. I thought it was a matter of course to come. It didn't scare me at all. I've never even told my parents. I had a 4-month-old daughter in my stomach, and I thought it was just my job. However, I was going to get married and not do a talent show at that time, but I changed my mind to 'do it' because I had to make money. That's when I realized. It's not a popular star, it's a job."

With this opportunity, Sunwoo Yong-yeo was able to pay off her debt by waking up to real estate. He said, "At that time, I also sold my house to pay off my debt. After everything was taken away, I was the only one who didn't have a house. It was so dizzying. He entered the real estate by signing a 2.5 million won site near Dongjak Station with the 2 million won he had at the time. I went to the president's office and told him I would pay 500,000 won within a year, and he trusted me. But that 2.5 million won became 8 million won in eight months. Since then, my eyes have opened. By 1978, they had settled their debts. It took almost 10 years to pay everything back," he said.

Sunwoo Yong-yeo passed away from her husband in 2014.
