‘My Genie Secretary’ actor Lee Seo-jin gave RESCENE practical advice.
On the 2nd episode of the SBS variety show My Genie Secretary (hereafter “My Genie Secretary”), the girl group RESCENE appeared as the “my star.”
That day, Kim Kwang-kyu asked, “Have you done your accounting settlement yet?” When Mei answered, “No. We haven’t received it yet,” Lee Seo-jin gave practical advice, saying, “When you get paid, you need to save the money carefully. If you make strange stock investments and things like that, you’ll ruin your family.”
When Woni said, “We don’t know much about stocks either,” Lee Seo-jin emphasized, “You don’t need to know that stuff, and later when you receive your settlement you must not spend it on frivolous things; you have to be frugal and save.”
Mei said, “I’m going to buy a malang-ee,” and when told that one malang-ee costs more than 10,000 won, Lee Seo-jin said, “Buy only three or four malang-ee. Don’t buy them in lots of 10.”
Then Mei asked, “What’s your hobby? Small but certain joys (sohwakhaeng),” and Lee Seo-jin answered, “First of all, happiness definitely comes when you earn a lot of money,” provoking laughter.
An embarrassed Woni retorted, “Is money everything?” and Lee Seo-jin insisted, “Money is everything.” Woni said, “You don’t know because you don’t earn it,” and Mei agreed, “But Jjoo might be right. She isn’t happy because of malang-ee, but she always seems happy.”
Woni asked, “Are you just rich, that’s why?” and Mei replied, “You just don’t need to feel happiness from these little things.”
In a subsequent interview, Woni asked, “I thought if I was happy I wouldn’t need money. Is this real?” When the production team asked, “Weren’t you happy when you moved into the 100-pyeong dorm?” he said, “I was very happy,” but also realized, “This is it.”
Watching from behind, Lee Seo-jin added, “It’s so ingrained in your life you don’t feel it. You’re on the right track now. You’re becoming a slave to capitalism,” drawing laughter.
