Jeongsoo Yoon "I don't even have money for car fuel, so I'm begging"

Jeongsu Yoon confessed that he did not have money for car fuel due to hardships in the past.

Kim Soo-mi, Yoon Jeong-su, Lee Ji-young, and Lee Yong-ju appeared as guests in the 810th episode of MBC's entertainment show 'Radio Star', which aired on the 29th.

On this day, Yoon Jeong-soo was introduced as 'I went from an icon of bankruptcy to an icon of hope' and said, "I thought I should live a good life as an ambassador for Retry. There was a time when I didn't even have money for gas for my car. When a senior I knew contacted me to see me, I said, 'I'll go if you just put gas in it.' “I said, ‘That’s how I barely survived.’”

He continued, "I wrote down all the money I borrowed from people around me in my debt notebook so I wouldn't forget. After paying back all the money I owed, I felt so refreshed that I tried to put my debt notebook in a jar and burn it all. But then someone asked me, 'What does a person who knows?' “I even lied and said it was a love letter,” he said.

When asked if the amount of debt book was large, Yoon Jeong-soo said, "It was a lot. I erased the completed repayments in white and wrote them again. Look at it and wake up. Now, I am learning how to save money step by step."

Meanwhile, Yoon Jeong-su expressed his disappointment, saying, "Didn't Kim Gura have a baby's first birthday party a while ago? I really wanted to go, but she didn't invite me." When Kim Gura said that it was a small event with family members, Yoon Jeong-su pointed out, "You said you didn't invite everyone, but Nam Chang-hee was there." In response, Kim Gu-ra even revealed the amount, saying, "She asked me to host. I paid her 2 million won to do it. I paid her 2 million won, but I talked more."

Afterwards, Yoon Jeong-su tried to give Kim Gura an envelope of money, and although Kim Gura showed his intention to refuse, he firmly delivered the congratulatory money and said, "I was afraid that Yoon Jeong-su's name would be mixed up, so I wrote 'gag'."

Yoon Jeong-soo said, "I saw Gre and the MC last time. I was thinking about giving it to him, but I thought it was strange that he was giving money for his younger brother's birthday. So, I tried to give it to him when I met him."

Jeongsoo Yoon invested money in importing coffee beans 30 years ago, before a large number of franchise coffee shops were created, but failed because more than half of them rotted because he did not prepare a warehouse for storage. He even took on debt to invest in a flounder farming business, but due to abnormally high temperatures, the flounder became uncooked. He honestly confessed his personal history, including going bankrupt because he did not eat or raise children, selling the house he lived in because of a wrong guarantee, and filing for personal bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, Yoon Jeong-su filed for personal bankruptcy in 2013. At the time, he was successful in business and earned 5 billion won in annual sales, but he was in debt of about 3 billion won due to excessive investments and debt guarantees. It is known that he paid off his debt by selling all his assets, including his home worth 2 billion won, and received partial forgiveness of the remaining debt.
