Kang Joo-eun said, "I earn more than my husband Choi Min-soo."

Actress Choi Min-soo's wife, Kang Joo-eun, revealed that she earns more than her husband.

On the MBC variety show 'Radio Star' aired on the 28th, guests included Shin Gye-sook, Kang Joo-eun, Ye-won, and Hae-won.

During the show, Kang Joo-eun shared a story about a difficult situation involving her husband's loyalty, which cost them 1 billion KRW. She said, "There was a person who had been with my husband for many years. He had been loyally taking care of my husband's work for 18 years. After we got married, he was still living with us. To me, he was a complete stranger. Sometimes, I would wake up in the morning and find him lying on the living room floor," she recalled.

She continued, "One day, he caught a cold. My husband asked me to make some porridge for him. I told my husband that I wasn't prepared to take care of someone else when I came to live with him. My husband then told the person that he might need to find another place to stay. However, that person left with a bank account containing 1 billion KRW."

Kang Joo-eun added, "That person handled all our bank transactions. Starting our life with debt was our beginning. What shocked me the most was when my husband said, 'Money can be earned again, but loyalty cannot be regained.' All the money was gone. He said he would forget about the money and earn it again."

Kang Joo-eun also clarified a video titled 'What's Yours is Mine, and What's Mine is Mine.' She explained, "It might seem greedy and selfish, but it's not. My husband never interfered with my spending, and he always said, 'All the money I earn is yours.' After ten years of marriage, I started working at an international school. I told him, 'The money I earn is mine, and the money you earn is yours, right?' He replied, 'My money is yours, and the money you earn is also yours.' So, I concluded, 'What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine.'"

When Kim Gura commented, "Choi Min-soo has foresight. Nowadays, Kang Joo-eun earns much more, doesn't she?" Kang Joo-eun agreed. Kim Gook-jin added, "Now, you can manage your own money and let him manage his." Kang Joo-eun humorously responded, "Why change something good? We're maintaining it well." Known as the 'Jennie of middle-aged women' in the home shopping industry, Kang Joo-eun revealed that her annual cumulative sales amount to around 60 billion KRW, drawing significant attention.
