Comedian Kim Jun-ho Considers Buying Island Amid Concerns from Friends

Comedian Kim Jun-ho has expressed his interest in purchasing an island in Tongyeong.

On the October 3rd episode of SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (known as 'Miwoosae'), Kim Jun-ho was seen taking Heo Kyung-hwan, Choi Jin-hyuk, and Yuk Joong-wan on a trip to inspect the island.

Kim Jun-ho attempted to persuade the trio by mentioning that the island could be bought for 130 million won. While intrigued, they also expressed concerns about living on an uninhabited island. Heo Kyung-hwan, in particular, worried, "If we buy the island, Kim Ji-min might think, 'Does he not enjoy being with me?'" To this, Kim Jun-ho confidently replied, "We're on good terms. There's no such issue. Ji-min likes me."

When asked if Kim Ji-min had approved the island purchase, Kim Jun-ho signaled for silence and jokingly said, "Are you crazy?" Yuk Joong-wan advised against it, saying, "An island can be a reason for divorce," while Heo Kyung-hwan added, "You can't go through a second divorce. Raising a child is expensive. If Ji-min asks, 'Am I the only one having a baby?' what will you do?"

Ultimately, Kim Jun-ho called Kim Ji-min to ask her opinion on the island purchase. Kim Ji-min responded, "What are you talking about? And I'm really sick right now," leaving Kim Jun-ho speechless.
