Song Ga-in's Generosity: Spends Up to 40 Million Won on Staff Meals, Reveals Own 'Small Eater' Lifestyle

Trot sensation Song Ga-in has become a hot topic of conversation after revealing her immense generosity towards her staff, contrasted with her surprisingly restrained personal eating habits.

Appearing on the KBS2 variety show 'Delivery Is Here' on the 12th, Song Ga-in confessed that she never hesitates to spend on her staff's meals. "We're all doing this to make a living, and I couldn't bear to see them eating instant noodles or kimbap," she stated, shocking viewers by revealing, "We spent around 30 to 40 million won on staff meals per month, eating meals that cost nearly 600,000 to 700,000 won at a time."

Viewers were particularly touched when she expressed gratitude for the support lunchboxes prepared by her fans, which she received late at night after performances when rest stop cafeterias were already closed.

However, in a surprising twist, despite her lavish spending on food for others, Song Ga-in herself admitted to being an extreme 'small eater' (so-sik-jwa). Fellow guest and mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang testified, "She's completely a small eater. We went to a restaurant together, and she said she was full after just seven pieces of beef."

Song Ga-in explained her eating habits were due to stage movement and vocal management. "I usually go on stage around 9 or 10 PM. If I eat before that, my stomach gets bloated, and I worry about getting hiccups while singing," she shared, highlighting her strict self-discipline for her performances.

Laughter erupted among the cast when Song Ga-in was shown eating spicy stir-fried chicken feet during the broadcast. The stark contrast between her thoughtful care for her staff and the unwavering support from her fandom, 'Again,' captured the audience's attention throughout the episode.

Netizens reacted to Song Ga-in's generous spending on staff meals with comments like, "As expected from a genius! Even staff welfare is top-notch," "I want to be Song Ga-in's staff too," and "Her self-management is truly admirable," praising her leadership and discipline.
