Broadcaster Jang Young-ran created a new character. The concept of poverty, of struggling to pay off debt. Did you envy Lee Sang-min, famous for being ‘Gung Sang-min’? Recently, Jang Young-ran has been constantly putting 'debt' as her selling point.

In Channel A's 'Men's Life These Days - Groom's Class' broadcast on the 1st, Jang Young-ran visited Lee Seung-cheol's house with Han Go-eun.

Jang Young-ran, who was in a camping mood that day, said, “I love it. I guess life was too difficult. “I was so exhausted from raising children and working,” he said. When Han Go-eun asked, “Aren’t there a lot of broadcasts these days?” Jang Young-ran answered, “My husband just opened a hospital.”

At that time, Han Go-eun asked bluntly, “Do you have that much debt?” Jang Young-ran said, “I received a lot of loans. “We are not gold diggers,” he explained.

Jang Young-ran, who previously married oriental medicine doctor Han Chang, revealed that she was in debt due to opening an oriental medicine hospital. In another entertainment show, he said, "I owe 2.2 billion won in operating funds for the hospital. I borrowed my house as collateral to open the practice. If the hospital goes bankrupt, the house will be taken over. It's been a year since I opened the hospital, and I haven't been able to repay even 1,000 won."

However, the reason I cannot 100% sympathize with the couple's complaints is because opening a hospital was an investment vehicle. The Mok-dong apartment that Jang Young-ran and Han Chang's family took as collateral is being sold for 2.6 billion won.

In addition, Jang Young-ran is currently appearing regularly in four entertainment shows. He recently joined Channel A's 'Men's Life These Days - Groom's Class', Channel S's 'Attack on Sisters', KBS 2TV's 'Can a Breakup Be Recalled?', and Channel A's 'Parenting Nowadays - My Golden Child'.

In addition, 'Kids' Appetite Dongchimi', 'Tomorrow's National Singer', 'Joyful Counseling Center', 'For Life', 'Wakanam', and 'Nego King Season 2' have made huge profits across terrestrial, comprehensive, and cable channels. Nevertheless, for some reason, his debt is not decreasing. Because of this, the term ‘debtor concept’ is even being used.

It is difficult to understand that Jang Young-ran, who has been so active in the entertainment industry for nearly 10 years that she has not had a single break, is not reducing her debt. It seems like he just created his character using ‘debt’.

If Jang Young-ran feels that she is poor and miserable, we cannot blame her for that. However, how should the public accept the sight of him complaining of 'poverty' even though he carries luxury goods and lives in an apartment near the subway station worth 2.6 billion won? The viewers' gaze becomes increasingly cold as he once again reveals his position as poor, saying that he is not a 'golden spoon' and that he has '2.2 billion in debt'.
