TV personality Brian recently shared his excitement about flying first class for the first time.
On the 27th, Brian's YouTube channel 'The Brian' featured a video titled 'Home Sweet Home in California After 2 Years: Celebrating My 45th Birthday in the U.S. (Dad's Birthday Feast, Dinner Party with Friends, Sphere Performance)'.
In the video, Brian, who was heading to his family home in the U.S. for his January 10th birthday, confessed, "I'm nervous about flying after such a long time," revealing his fear of flying. He added, "This trip is special as I'm flying first class for the first time in my life. I'm really looking forward to it." The cost of a first-class ticket to the U.S. is known to be around $10,000 to $20,000.
At the airport, Brian jokingly threatened his fans who came to see him off, saying, "If anyone leaves while I'm gone, I'll find you!" This brought laughter to those present. On his way to the U.S. for the first time in 20 months, he ran into Super Junior's Siwon and Leeteuk at the airport lounge, showcasing their SM Entertainment friendship.
Once on the plane, Brian enjoyed the luxury of first class. Wearing pajamas, he asked, "Can I take these with me?" showing his satisfaction. Before landing, he even took time for some skincare, demonstrating his meticulous self-care.
Upon arriving at his family home in Los Angeles, Brian was warmly welcomed with a hug from his mom and a homemade tofu stew from his dad. When his parents mixed makgeolli with beer, he joked, "My parents are alcoholics. You've seen me drunk, right? I learned it from mom and dad," causing laughter.
While heading to a shopping center with his parents, Brian remarked, "It's been a long time since I went shopping with my parents. The last time was when Hwanhee came in 2002, 24 years ago," expressing his nostalgia.
For his three-week trip, Brian packed four suitcases, joking, "I must be crazy," while maintaining his neat persona. To comfortably meet friends, he rented separate accommodations and returned home after a lavish birthday party with friends and family.
Meanwhile, Brian made headlines for building a luxurious house in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, spanning approximately 300 pyeong. The house, with a basement and two above-ground floors, reportedly includes an outdoor pool, home gym, and theater.
