K-Pop Star Baek Ji-young Offers Financial Advice to Young Staff Amid Shopping Spree

K-pop singer Baek Ji-young recently shared some financial wisdom with her staff during a shopping trip, as seen in a video on her YouTube channel titled 'Baek Ji-young's Real Influence Among Merchants Surprises Husband Jung Suk-won.'

In the video, Baek Ji-young and her husband, Jung Suk-won, are seen shopping at Eunma Shopping Center. Jung playfully asked Baek which card to use for payment, to which a merchant humorously responded, questioning the need to know the card type.

Previously, Baek Ji-young had filmed content at the same shopping center, which led to an increase in customers for the merchants. As a result, she received more services than she purchased, expressing both gratitude and embarrassment.

Jung Suk-won, moved by the experience, remarked, "Honey, we should do more good deeds and live kindly. This is truly a positive influence." After shopping, he humorously carried all the bags, joking that his weight training was for moments like these.

As a car approached, Baek Ji-young warned, "Watch out for the car, honey," to which Jung affectionately replied, "You're my lifesaver." Reflecting on the day, he admitted, "I went overboard today, couldn't control myself because it was so fun," bringing laughter.

During an overseas shoot, Baek Ji-young noticed a young staff member splurging on luxury items like Chanel shoes and Hermes accessories. She advised, "Are you rich? You can't spend everything without saving. You need to prepare for the future."

Jung Suk-won playfully countered, "Didn't you spend everything when you were young, too? Mostly on drinks." Baek Ji-young admitted, "That's why I can say this. I spent it all on drinks. My money went down the drain. I never saw money coming out of someone else's pocket," expressing her regrets.

Baek Ji-young is known for her successful drama OSTs, including 'That Woman' from 'Secret Garden' and 'Don't Forget' from 'Iris,' reportedly earning 10 billion KRW (approximately $8.5 million) from each song.
