Broadcaster Hong Hye-geol, formerly a physician, faced criticism after mentioning an anecdote about his wife, Yeo Esther.

On the 2nd, Hong Hye-geol posted a lengthy message on his social media, beginning with: "Many of you may have noticed, but I am trying to live kindly or appear kind."

Hong stated, "However, one difficulty has arisen. Some people point out that my promotion of kindness causes harm. For instance, giving large tips to caddies or drivers undermines fair pricing and makes those who pay the full price seem stingy. Recently, providing a nearby small officetel for a housekeeper also made households with similar domestic helpers feel uncomfortable." He referred to an anecdote shared on MBC's variety program 'Radio Star'.

He continued, "I once said that during the hot summer, the apartment lobby should be cooled comfortably for staff, but I received complaints from residents who claimed it was my money being spent. The Esther Formula national nutrition project, which sells supplements at 8,900 won per month, is even accused of telling other companies to starve."

Hong added, "Everyone has a valid point. Living in this world is truly complicated and difficult."

Previously, Hong appeared on 'Radio Star' and revealed that his wife Yeo Esther had purchased a house for her housekeeper near their home in Seoul Gangnam, calling the housekeeper someone they must care for for life and who is even more important than his wife. This anecdote sparked significant attention.
