"I've come to have a belief that I should move my life separately from money. I've been cautious about wanting to be rich since early on. Of course, it's nice to be rich. However, even before my debut, I was cautious about that aspect, and when fans asked for my autograph in the early days asking me to write 'I hope you succeed,' 'I hope you hit it big,' 'I hope you become rich,' instead of using such words, I used the phrase 'I hope you're happy.' I didn't want such pressure included in my autograph. I didn't feel the need to forcefully include it like that. Money doesn't seem to be important in life itself."
He was wary of the "I want to get rich" mentality so he didn't even want to write to his fans "please become rich"

A: Yes, I enjoy reading books. I don't particularly discriminate. (Is there a book you would like to recommend?) Hmm. 'EBS Jisik Channel e.' There are several volumes, and I think I've read them all. It's a book that interprets both heavy and light stories meaningfully and stimulates a lot of thoughts."

I wish he was an actor whose words match their actions
original post: here
1. He's an onion
2. If only he just build a building and played golf without claiming anything, nobody would've said a word...
3. Wow I just learned about his phone cases now
4. He probably has a type of vibe he's going for but his human nature always blocks him from being that personã…‹ã…‹
5. I also commented because I wanted him to stop being criticized for his relationship issues, but if he's a Greenpeace ambassador, he should act accordingly... I didn't know any of this because he's not an actor I care about but I'm still disappointed
6. When you have an image you want to achieve, then there are responsibilities and behaviors that come with it, not just a pretense.
7. If you want to sell an image, at least pretend to be thatã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
8. This is f*cking hilariousã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
9. Concept-bug
10. He should've just lived comfortably. Why talk around so much?ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ what are we supposed to see if his words don't match his actions?
