Tired debtor concept, Sam Hammington this time?

There is something unnatural about living in a luxurious house and worrying about your finances. Wealth standards are different for each person, but the appearance of a celebrity who grumbles that it is 'difficult' on TV even though he lives 'enjoyably' is half the truth.

Recently, on the YouTube channel 'Studio Some', a video titled 'EP.25 Married Couple's Dangerous Drunk Talk #Daesilhasam' was uploaded. In the video, Sam Hammington and Jung Yu-mi were shown putting their children to sleep, drinking makgeolli, and answering questions.

'Current financial condition of the Hammington family. In response to the question, 'Is it okay?', Jung Yu-mi replied, "It's not okay." Sam Hammington said, "I hope you don't put pressure on me." Jung Yoo-mi complained, "What kind of pressure? It's funny. When am I? You say money pressure?" "Since I manage my finances, I don't say anything when I say that I have to save money when I'm short. Do I have to write them down and show them in front of my eyes?" . Sam Hammington confessed, "I've never thought that it's okay as it is. Isn't it realistically uncomfortable to live in a spacious house and go to a narrow house?" The couple came to the conclusion that they had to earn more.

The Sam Hammington family recently moved into a house in Yeonhui-dong. Sam Hammington said he had 'prepared his own house' in 20 years. The house is three-story, with only six rooms and a yard. From the balcony of the house, you can see the scenery of Yeonhui-dong at a glance. Sam Hammington said, "The boss told me before. Yeonhee-dong said that the price was much lower than Gangnam or other neighborhoods at the time, and that the subway came in. In the meantime, the price per pyeong went up a lot." These couples also boasted about their house by holding a 'lan line housewarming' through their YouTube channel.

Viewers were also delighted with the appearance of the couple who made it difficult to 'prepare my own house'. It wasn't long before he boasted of his spacious mansion and 'money worries' was realistic, but on the other hand, it felt artificial.

Comedian Jung Ju-ri succeeded in purchasing her own house by applying for multiple children. Jeong Ju-ri, who married a non-celebrity a year younger in 2015, gave birth to four sons. He drew attention by moving to a 43-pyeong apartment with a view of the Han River as a request for multiple children. Jung Ju-ri also showed her house through a magazine. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a model house, and the bright interior in a neat atmosphere attracted attention.

However, Jung Ju-ri also expressed her concern about bank loan interest through her YouTube channel. Jung Joo-ri complained, “I have a lot of debt,” and “I took out a bank loan, but the interest rate is that way.

The originator of the 'debtor concept' is Lee Sang-min. Lee Sang-min had 6.9 billion won in debt due to business failures in the past, and at first, he revealed his daily life of faithfully repaying debt and gained support from viewers. In the meantime, while the remaining debt increased from 900 million won to 1.6 billion won, he lived in a rented house worth over 2 million won and owned hundreds of pairs of luxury shoes. This is why Lee Sang-min was criticized for being in debt.

For the reality and fun of broadcasting, certain conversations and situations can be highlighted. Buying a house and worrying about debt are all realistic topics, so it's easy to sympathize with viewers. However, if you are greedy for broadcasting, you may make the mistake of taking both the concept of bragging about your wealth and debt. Lee Sang-min is enough for the boring creditor concept.
