[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Shin Jung-hwan boasted about his wealthy 'gold spoon' family background.

On the 18th, a video titled "The Beautiful Gapmi Who Will Save Jeonras" was released on the YouTube channel 'Yoon Jong-shin Shin Jung-hwan's Jeonras.'

The video featured Lee Hye-young, who is active as an actress and painter, as a guest. Yoon Jong-shin introduced Lee Hye-young by saying, "She is very sophisticated but also has a hollow side," and Shin Jung-hwan added, "There are many times when she feels dazed."

When Yoon Jong-shin asked Shin Jung-hwan and Lee Hye-young, "How did your connection start?" the two replied, "There is a point of contact." Yoon Jong-shin then asked them, "Isn't it because of (Lee) Sang-min that you got to know each other?" Both nodded in agreement.

Shin Jung-hwan tried to vaguely pass over the topic by saying, "There was a producer for Country Kko Kko," but Yoon Jong-shin, not understanding, asked, "Did you not know during Sang-min's time?" Lee Hye-young responded with a scolding mixed with anger that drew laughter, saying, "He is the producer. He has no sense."

Shin Jung-hwan revealed that he built a friendship with Lee Hye-young when she participated as a chorus in the first album track "To You, Me" by Country Kko Kko. Lee Hye-young confessed about the modest dream at that time, saying, "Back then, Shin Jung-hwan and Tak Jae-hoon said, 'Honestly, do you think the two of us will make it?' They asked if they could just get 1 million won each as a salary."

In response, Shin Jung-hwan shared, "Jae-hoon hyung was really struggling back then. He said he wouldn't do Country Kko Kko unless it was a salary system. I was comfortable, so I just said let's do it together." When Lee Hye-young and Yoon Jong-shin gave him suspicious looks, Shin Jung-hwan recalled his affluent past, saying, "My family was quite well off. We had about three or four apartments and even a building." Lee Hye-young and Yoon Jong-shin fired back with 'fact bombs,' saying, "Why don't you show that?" and "Did you lose all of that?" which embarrassed Shin Jung-hwan.

Additionally, Lee Hye-young shared an anecdote about being pursued by a top-tier actor in the past. She said, "I can't say it because you might not believe it. At that time, the man had a very beautiful girlfriend. He kept coming to our gatherings. I got a call from an unknown number asking to meet," and added, "Back then, not just anyone could ride a foreign car. He took me to the woods and pushed me into his sedan. He was so handsome that I couldn't think it was a crime."

She continued, "He said he was going crazy because of me. He said he would break up with his girlfriend and asked me to wait," and expressed regret, saying, "But I went to the U.S. at that time, so I couldn't meet him."
