Ko So-young, Hawaii's Cost of Living That Even a Billionaire Can't Escape... "I Only Cooked Home-Cooked Meals"
Actress Ko So-young revealed her realistic housewife side during a family trip to Hawaii.
On the 9th, a video titled "The 100% Real Daily Life of the Ko So-young Family, Revealed for the First Time in 16 Years of Marriage" was released on the YouTube channel "Ko So-young."
In the video, Ko So-young showed herself packing for a trip to Hawaii with her husband, Jang Dong-gun, and their children. She said, "The cost of living in Hawaii is so high these days," adding, "It is too much of a burden to eat out every time, so I plan to pack whatever food I can bring myself."
Noting her surprise at the high cost of dining out and the tipping culture in the U.S., she meticulously prepared ingredients for convenient meals, such as dried seaweed, furikake, salted kelp, and peanut butter pouches. Ko So-young revealed her thrifty travel preparations, stating, "I think we can make rice balls."
Ko So-young's domestic skills continued even after arriving in Hawaii. He visited a local Korean grocery store to purchase kimchi, various side dishes, and ingredients, and at their accommodation, he personally cooked kimchi stew to prepare meals for his family.
Jang Dong-gun also showed his affectionate side by making toast for his family. The couple enjoyed a typical family trip, visiting places like grocery stores and movie theaters with their children.
However, their planned schedule was disrupted due to rain that persisted throughout the trip. At the end of the video, a caption reading "We returned home after only setting the table in the storm" appeared, drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, Ko So-young married Jang Dong-gun in 2010 and they have one son and one daughter. They are known to own multiple properties, including a building in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and a luxury villa in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, with industry estimates valuing their assets at over 40 billion won.
