Kwak Yoon-ki, national representative for saving spirit

Short track athlete Kwak Yoon-gi showed off his extraordinary spirit of saving.

MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-seon/directed by Lee Yun-hwa and Kim Myeong-yeop), which aired on the 26th, featured a special feature called 'Ta-da, My Way' featuring Choi Soo-jong, Park Young-jin, Shuka, and Kwak Yoon-gi.

‘King of Historical Dramas’ Choi Soo-jong, who made a comeback with a historical drama after 10 years, said, “I don’t buy new things, clothes, shoes, etc.” and revealed that he has been using the shoes and tie he bought at the beginning of his marriage for 30 years. At the same time, Choi Soo-jong, who only has an open wallet for his wife Ha Hee-ra, confessed his true feelings, saying, “When ordering food, I saw that more food was ordered than the number of people and thought to myself.” In response, Yoo Se-yoon teased, “I guess you care about something,” and Choi Soo-jong responded, “Ha Hee-ra is very bold,” causing laughter.

Park Young-jin drew attention with her salty life, which is as salty as most salty taste experts, saying that she used the same home appliances she had purchased while living alone, and that she also brought dishes collected from a snack shop that closed down during her theater company days when she got married.

Shuka, selected by Forbes as 'Korea's Power YouTuber of 2022', boasted an economic YouTuber class loved by 2.66 million subscribers by sharing useful tips ranging from investment methods to investment techniques that viewers would be curious about in keeping with the recent economic situation. In the past, when he was a fund manager in Yeouido, he caught people's attention by saying that he followed the spending habits of a very small number of high-income earners and opened a negative account as his spending increased. Shuka said, “The company’s money was working, but my money was not.”

Kwak Yoon-ki showed off his presence as a national representative of frugality who spreads a salty consumption philosophy. He, who can survive for a month with 100,000 won, shocked the 'Las' MCs by saying that he thoroughly receives coffee capsules, energy bars, etc. Next, Kwak Yoon-gi emphasized the importance of Dutch Pay and taught a strategy to induce Dutch Pay by recruiting people around him. Ahn Young-mi made a sea of laughter by saying, “Isn’t it a fraud between two people?”

In addition, Kwak Yoon-gi surprised the cast by revealing that he was very filial to his parents with the money he saved through Dutch Pay, and that he paid for his younger sister's wedding. Shuka was impressed by Kwak Yoon-gi's frugality and responded, "I will 'buy my own house' soon." Next, Kwak Yoon-ki made the audience feel warm by sharing his current status through various donation activities to repay the love he received. At the same time, he said that his goal is to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics to be held three years later, and at the same time, he received a lot of attention by performing the 'We must fight' dance at the gold medal ceremony.
