Actress Gong Hyo-jin recently shared her experience with selling items through secondhand trading.
On October 10, the YouTube channel 'For Now, Gong Hyo-jin' released a video titled 'The People Gong Hyo-jin Met.'
In the video, Gong Hyo-jin reminisced about a connection that began at a 'BLACKPINK concert.' She said, "There were so many artists, it was fascinating. I even saw some artists for the first time. I was there with fellow actresses like Kim Go-eun and Ryu Won."
Dawn shared, "After meeting the senior, I noticed her personality. I was feeling out of place, but she approached me first and started a conversation. Her words were so kind, and she spoke to me like she knew me well, so I sent her a DM out of gratitude."
"I sent the DM thinking she would never read it," Dawn continued, and as expected, Gong Hyo-jin didn't see the message until 4-5 years later. Gong Hyo-jin confessed, "I read it just recently and thought, 'Oh my, what a surprise.'"
During a discussion about tea culture, Gong Hyo-jin shared her amazement at being able to choose her own cup for tea at Tang Wei's house. Dawn agreed, saying, "It's such a wonderful culture to treat guests so well."
Currently living alone, Dawn mentioned that he buys and sells items on secondhand platforms. He still keeps in touch with a friend he met through these transactions, saying, "That friend is into space design and made tatami mats, which cost around 160,000 to 170,000 KRW per piece."
Gong Hyo-jin also shared, "I traded shoes with someone living in the apartment in front of mine. I usually have a hard time letting go of things because they all have stories. But carrying them around became too much, so I sold everything through secondhand trading last year or the year before."
While touring Dawn's home, Gong Hyo-jin expressed her struggles with living in a two-story house. She said, "Is living in a two-story house okay for you? I'm starting to find it difficult. I have to go downstairs to get water after lying down." Dawn nodded in agreement, saying, "That's why I purposely put my bedroom on the second floor. Otherwise, I wouldn't go upstairs at all."
Meanwhile, Gong Hyo-jin had a private wedding with singer-songwriter Kevin Oh, who is ten years her junior, in New York City in October 2022.
