In "The Boss Has Donkey Ears," singer Kim Yong-bin reveals the reason behind his unwavering commitment to managing his finances through physical bank accounts.

On the episode airing on KBS 2TV's "The Boss Has Donkey Ears" (hereinafter "Sadang-gwi") at 6 p.m. on the 18th, the background of how "Trot Prince" Kim Yong-bin developed his unique financial mindset is revealed. Previously, Kim Yong-bin sparked attention by revealing that he has as many as 50 bank accounts, into which he has steadily deposited the money he earned from activities since childhood. Kim Yong-bin draws attention by stating, "My grandfather was an incredibly wealthy landowner in Daegu." In response, Jeon Hyun-moo is said to be unable to contain his surprise, asking, "You had that much land in Daegu?"

However, Kim Yong-bin surprises everyone by revealing, "My grandfather lost all of his property because he gave a bad guarantee." He then shares, "I grew up hearing my grandmother repeatedly warn me, 'If you deal with money, you lose friends and lose money, losing everything,' and 'Never give a guarantee,' until the words were etched into my ears."

Kim Yong-bin further piques curiosity by revealing his unique financial mindset, shaped by his grandmother's repeated warnings, along with his own asset management methods. No matter how busy he is, he writes his household ledger by hand, and instead of using internet banking, he manages his 50 bank accounts in person at the bank using physical passbooks. According to reports, Jeon Hyun-moo, while unable to hide his amazement at Kim Yong-bin's story, fires off a blunt remark, saying, "Even elderly people use banking apps these days," eliciting laughter.

Meanwhile, when Kim Yong-bin mentions that his close friend and fellow trot singer Nam Seung-min buys lottery tickets every week, he affectionately criticizes him by saying, "This guy really has no concept of money." He then pours out a storm of nagging advice, stating, "You can't rely on getting rich quick. Instead of looking for a windfall, let's work hard," which is said to have drawn laughter.

Kim Yong-bin's unique asset management methods and his cheerful barrage of nagging toward his close friend Nam Seung-min can be seen in today's broadcast of "Sadang-gwi."

"Sadang-gwi" airs every Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
