Actor Lee Yi Kyung surprised viewers by revealing his extremely frugal lifestyle, which he says comes from his father.
On the February 20 episode of tvN STORY’s A Billion-Won Breakfast, Lee Yi Kyung’s simple morning routine was shown.
Appearing on camera with a sleepy, puffy face, he laughed and said, “I look terrible. This is the real me.”
Dr. Oh Eun Young was surprised to see him waking up early at 6 AM, but Lee Yi Kyung explained, “I can’t sleep in.”
What caught the most attention was how he stayed warm in the winter. Instead of using the boiler, he turned on a small heater.
He said, “My father always did this. Even now, he wears a lightweight padded jacket at home. He says wearing one in winter is enough to stay warm.”
Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun Young commented, “If you catch a cold, the medical expenses will cost more. Being frugal is good, but this might make marriage difficult.”
Lee Yi Kyung responded with a laugh, saying, “People say that a lot. But whoever marries me can just turn on the boiler. I’ll just turn it off in my own space.”
Despite his father being a former CEO, Lee Yi Kyung has kept up his simple way of living. Fans were both shocked and amused by his extreme frugality!
