In a recent episode of KBS 2TV's variety show "High-End Salt Bug," singer Lee Chan-won was astonished by the costs associated with motorcycle biking.
The segment featured a guest who, after 21 years of riding experience, revealed that he had spent a staggering 50 million won on bikes in the past three years alone, surprising the cast. His extravagant hobby was further highlighted when he shared that his custom suit cost 1.85 million won, prompting a shocked reaction from Lee Chan-won. Moreover, the guest's motorcycle was valued at 26.5 million won, making Lee comment, "That's the price of a car."
As the conversation progressed, costs for additional gear like helmets, action cameras, and circuit fees came to light, with the guest stating that his monthly motorcycle-related expenses reached 800,000 won. This revelation caught the attention of the cast, as they expressed disbelief at the high price tag associated with such a hobby. The guest continued to emphasize his passion for motorcycles, labeling it his "only hobby," despite facing significant financial challenges.
Lee Chan-won voiced concerns about the guest's financial situation, suggesting that without a change, he could be left with only credit card debt instead of a bright future. Financial trainer Kim Kyung-pil highlighted the imbalance between income and expenses, emphasizing the need for the guest to reassess his spending habits. His advice included the necessity of disposing of either the motorcycle or the car to break free from a life of debt.
