Korean TV Personality Jeon Hyun-moo Discusses Financial Views Post-Marriage

Korean TV personality Jeon Hyun-moo, known for his impressive annual income of over 4 billion won, recently shared his thoughts on financial management after marriage.

On the October 3rd episode of JTBC's variety show 'Can't Do It Alone,' guest Lee Dae-ho discussed his household's financial dynamics. Lee revealed that his wife manages their finances, and he lives on a fixed monthly allowance of 4 million won. He expressed that the allowance feels insufficient, saying, “When I treat my fellow athletes to a meal, it can easily cost 1 million won. As a senior, I can't just let them pay.”

Choo Sung-hoon also chimed in, stating, “I absolutely refuse to switch to a zero-allowance system.” Jeon Hyun-moo, who is still single, agreed with Choo, saying, “I believe in separating financial control rather than receiving an allowance.” He added, “If you receive an allowance, it might make you feel restricted.”

Lee Dae-ho also showcased his romantic side, reminiscing about his time in the Japanese league before marriage. He shared, “I probably wouldn't have married if it weren't for my wife,” and mentioned that he used to video call her at least five to ten times a day. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo pointed out to Choo Sung-hoon, “I've never seen you video call your wife, Yano Shiho.”

Choo Sung-hoon admitted, “I have done video calls, but not frequently.”
