Jeon Won-ju, saving money backfired… Entire production crew steps down → Aftermath of "one cup of coffee for three" remark
As news spreads that actress Jeon Won-ju demanded a raise in her appearance fees from a YouTube production team, her past remarks regarding her obsession with "money" are drawing renewed attention.
Jeon Won-ju recently appeared on actress Samija’s YouTube channel, "Not Omija, But Samija," and explained the reason for suspending her YouTube activities, stating, "I asked them to raise the fees, but they said they would quit, so I just said okay."
Jeon Won-ju had been running her personal YouTube channel, "Jeon Won-ju_Jeon Won-ju Protagonist," which boasted 110,000 subscribers. However, the situation became a hot topic on the 24th of last month when the production team suddenly announced they were stepping down from the channel's production and operation. Following the sudden departure, the fact that Jeon Won-ju was diagnosed with early-stage dementia on a broadcast last April was brought back into the spotlight, leading to speculation about health issues; however, her agency stated that the contract termination was "unrelated to health."
They further explained that they "plan to reorganize the channel and operate it again," and Jeon Won-ju also mentioned on Samija’s YouTube channel that she intends to resume operations.
Jeon Won-ju achieved great success in financial management, having reportedly turned a stock investment of 580,000 won into 3 billion won on a past broadcast. Recently, she has even earned the title of a "4 billion won asset holder," as it has been reported that she owns approximately 3 billion won in stocks, 1 billion won in gold, a building in Sinchon, Seoul, and an apartment in Cheongdam-dong.
She even has a history of receiving commendations from the Blue House for her frugal lifestyle and saving habits; however, her extreme saving habits have drawn criticism, with some calling it "beyond saving and becoming a nuisance."
In fact, netizens have been leaving comments on Jeon Won-ju's YouTube comment section pointing out her excessive saving habits, such as, "It is not pleasant to see a wealthy person constantly talking about money," "I wish she would live a life of generosity," and "It is fine to save money on your own, but as long as you force it on others, you become a nuisance."
