Korean Actress Jeon Won-ju Announces Plans to Donate Her Entire Fortune

Korean actress Jeon Won-ju, known for her role as the 'Main Character', has decided who will inherit her entire fortune.

On the 30th, a video titled 'Sister! Are You Really Donating Your Entire Fortune?! (Witness Kkondae-hee)' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Jeon Won-ju_Main Character'.

In the video, Jeon Won-ju invited comedian Kim Dae-hee, also known as Kkondae-hee, to a traditional Korean restaurant in Gangnam. She opened her wallet, saying, "Today, I should treat you since I have a lot to gain."

Jeon Won-ju, who is seeking advice from Kim Dae-hee, a YouTuber with 2 million subscribers, asked, "How can I increase my subscribers? Although I'm a senior in life, I should learn from my juniors."

Instead of answering, Kim Dae-hee humorously requested, "Order the most expensive thing," and chose a menu priced at 67,000 won per person, causing laughter. Jeon Won-ju, though surprised by the high price, remarked, "I spend when I need to."

Kim Dae-hee exclaimed, "The best food in the world is the one someone else buys," and jokingly asked, "Sister, this isn't my appearance fee, right?" Jeon Won-ju retorted, "Why are you so obsessed with money?"

Jeon Won-ju shared a past experience of being scammed by a man, saying, "I thought someone with a good face would be good with money, but he took everything and left." She added, "Contact me when you're struggling, so we can support each other."

Kim Dae-hee inquired about Jeon Won-ju's monthly income and stock earnings, noting her active career even at nearly 90 years old. When Jeon Won-ju refused to answer, Kim Dae-hee admitted, "The producer asked me to inquire. Why is this even a curiosity?" However, upon hearing about her house's 21-fold increase in value, he confessed, "I'm really envious of that."

Jeon Won-ju expressed, "The joy of saving is greater than spending," and added, "As my time comes, I have no more greed. My life is predicted to end in my 90s, as seen in my fortune."

In a final statement, Jeon Won-ju declared in a three-line acrostic poem, "I will give my entire fortune not to those who want it, but to those who live diligently," drawing attention.
