Comedian Lee Sang-hoon and Mukbang Star Tzuyang Reveal Generous Donations on 'The Manager'

On the latest episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager', comedian Lee Sang-hoon and mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang shared insights into their impressive donation activities.

During the episode aired on the 14th, host Jun Hyun-moo introduced the guests by highlighting their extravagant spending habits: "Tzuyang spends 44 million won a year on food delivery, while comedian Lee Sang-hoon spends 60 million won on toys annually." He added, "Tzuyang has over 13 million subscribers, which helps cover her delivery costs, but how does Lee manage his 60 million won expenses?"

Lee Sang-hoon, who is an avid collector of figures, revealed, "I run a YouTube channel with 580,000 subscribers dedicated to my hobby. I get invited to many comic and movie events, and my income from this hobby surpasses my earnings as a comedian."

Song Eun-i described Lee as "the Yoo Jae-suk of the collector world," to which Lee responded, "Among celebrities, I'm the top figure collector. Buying figures fills me up more than food."

Tzuyang recently made headlines by donating 50 million won to a children's hospital after eating ten hamburgers, with each burger representing a 5 million won donation.

Similarly, Lee Sang-hoon has been consistently involved in charitable activities. He candidly shared, "I donated 1 million won on Children's Day. On the same day, IU and Lee Jong-suk donated 100 million won each, and an article mentioned that I also contributed. How could 1 million won be considered a significant contribution? Since then, I've been pushing myself to donate more."

Additionally, Lee proudly showcased his ultimate toy museum, a culmination of 25 years of collecting, with an investment of 1 billion won. The museum spans two floors and approximately 200 pyeong, filled with an impressive collection that left the studio commentators in awe.
