Jo Ji-hwan and Park Hye-min are currently earning an impressive monthly income of 10 million KRW
On the evening of the 3rd, the couple will appear as clients on KBS 2TV's variety show 'High-End Saltwater Striders.'
Jo Ji-hwan, known as the brother of actress and comedian Jo Hye-ryun, and his wife Park Hye-min, who is equally charismatic, previously disclosed their financial struggles and troubled marriage on a couple counseling program. At one point, they couldn't even afford gas money.
During that difficult period, Park Hye-min, the family's sole breadwinner, resigned from her nursing job. Jo Ji-hwan then took up delivery work to make ends meet but suffered a leg fracture in an accident, adding to their woes.
However, the couple turned their lives around by sharing their daily lives through videos, marking the beginning of their second act. They have since become influencers with over 200,000 subscribers, earning nearly 10 million KRW per month.
Park Hye-min shared, "Our income has increased about four times compared to our toughest times," and expressed that they are now enjoying the happiest period of their 10-year marriage, bringing smiles to the faces of the 'Saltwater Striders' MCs. Meanwhile, Jo Ji-hwan revealed an unexpected concern, saying, "Our income has increased, but we can't seem to save any money."
In response, the 'Saltwater Striders' MCs and money trainer Kim Kyung-pil decided to investigate where their money is leaking. The upcoming broadcast, which will provide tailored spending solutions for the couple, is highly anticipated.
Park Hye-min, who is now showcasing her overflowing charisma, revealed that she switched from nursing to being a show host because of "Jo Ji-hwan's distractions," piquing curiosity about their story.
The couple's journey from financial hardship to newfound happiness and their spending dilemmas will be featured on 'High-End Saltwater Striders' at 8:30 PM on the 3rd.
