Singer Kim Jae-joong has shed light on the recent sensational 'one trillion won fortune' rumors, unveiling his unique approach to wealth management.

During his appearance on the YouTube content 'JaeFriends' on the 13th, while discussing long-term career longevity with guest Roy Kim, Jae-joong surprisingly shared his secret: "I have a sure-fire method. Once every eight years, I make my account balance zero."

He elaborated, "When the balance hits zero, my fighting spirit skyrockets. I feel so purified that I want to run even on familiar paths." Clarifying the mystery, he revealed, "You might wonder how it becomes zero, but it's about moving the money elsewhere, not spending it. It's 'investment.'"

Roy Kim expressed relief, understanding, "Ah, so you're not actually spending it all to reach zero, but rather transferring it to an unseen place?" Jae-joong confirmed, "That's right. I make the deposit and withdrawal account zero."

However, he candidly admitted the risks involved. "But it could genuinely disappear. I've gone through such rough patches about four times," he quipped, drawing laughter.

Amidst the recent 'one trillion won fortune' speculation, Kim Jae-joong advised, "A mindset of knowing how to empty is necessary. Emptying your deposit and withdrawal account helps regain your initial resolve and maintain tension in your financial activities."

Ultimately, his 'zero balance' method is not about mere spending or showing off, but a distinctive self-management technique for regaining his初心 (choshim - original intention/mindset), managing investments, and sustaining financial alertness.

Netizens commented, "Kim Jae-joong's wealth management method is quite innovative," "Making it zero sounds a bit scary," and "He's so gentlemanly, seems very disciplined." His unique approach to managing his finances garnered significant interest.
