Kyuhyun Outsmarts Kim Jong Kook With His Ultra-Frugal Lifestyle - You Won't Believe How Little He Spends Every Month!
If you thought your friend who bargains for every pani puri was stingy, wait till you hear about Kyuhyun from Super Junior! The K-pop idol is none other than Kim Jong Kook!
On a recent show, Kyuhyun casually dropped the bomb that his monthly credit card bill is less than ₩500,000-that's just about ₹29,000! For context, that's what a lot of college students in India spend on weekend Zomato orders and random online shopping sprees.
But Kyuhyun? He's out here living the ultimate budget life, and honestly, it's kind of iconic.
Fashion on a Budget: Kyuhyun's ₹1,200 Trousers
So, how does he do it? Kyuhyun revealed his secret: he buys shirts online for just ₩15,000 (around ₹900) each, and gets them in every color. His gym wardrobe? Just a rainbow of these bargain shirts. Kim Jong Kook, ever the gym bro, couldn't resist poking fun: "Why do you wear shirts to the gym? I've never seen you in workout clothes!" Turns out, Kyuhyun even wears cotton trousers (not even track pants!) to the gym, and they're just ₩20,000 a pair-about ₹1,200.
Imagine walking into your local gym in formal slacks because you refuse to buy athleisure. That's some next-level jugaad, and honestly, it's the kind of thriftiness every Indian student with a tight budget can relate to.
Why Are Celebs So Relatable Sometimes?
It's not every day you see a celebrity openly brag about buying cheap clothes and keeping their spending lower than your average IT intern. In a world where stars flaunt luxury brands and million-rupee watches, Kyuhyun's "middle-class hero" vibes are a breath of fresh air.

Mumbai's The Bombay Canteen is 'all about celebrating the diverse pantry of the Indian subcontinent. Seasonality guides the food and drink offering, with dishes taking a contemporary approach to Indian cuisine, and cocktails opting for a more traditional route of reimagined classics, such as its bee's knees made with Himalayan honey.' The Lower Parel-based restaurant was also on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants extended list at number 91. 'Part cafe, part music venue, part bar: Hideaway has it all. Music is a core focus of the bar, with a rotating showcase of jazz and contemporary artists, but its cocktail offering is just as notable, with drinks such as the Babylon (vodka, passion fruit, coconut water, lemongrass oil) a delicious reflection of local flavours,' the list says about Vagator-based Hideaway.
