Korean actress Sunwoo Yong-yeo has expressed her frustration over a mop slipper invention she claims to have conceived 35 years ago.
On the 28th, the 'Soonpoong Sunwoo Yong-yeo' channel featured actor No Joo-hyun, who unveiled his luxurious 800-pyeong mansion for the first time. Before meeting No Joo-hyun, Sunwoo Yong-yeo showcased the gifts she had prepared.
Among the gifts Sunwoo Yong-yeo brought for No Joo-hyun were goji berry tea, Chinese liquor, and parchment paper. However, what caught the production team's attention was a pair of mop slippers.
Sunwoo Yong-yeo explained, "While cleaning, I found it exciting to use a mop like this. I even considered patenting it with Yeon-gae, but the patent fees were quite high."
When the surprised production team asked, "Did you develop this, teacher?" Sunwoo Yong-yeo insisted, "I did, 35 years ago." She further expressed her frustration, saying, "I had a great idea, but someone else patented it first."
