Model Yano Shiho has become a hot topic after candidly discussing her finances and spending habits with husband Choo Sung-hoon.

Appearing on the SBS variety show 'DolSing4Men', Yano Shiho spoke about her immense popularity in Japan and Choo Sung-hoon's spending style. While Lee Sang-min introduced her as 'the No. 1 celebrity Japanese women want to emulate', she playfully countered Kim Jun-ho's comment about Choo Sung-hoon not being widely recognized in Japan by stating, 'Choo Sung-hoon is very popular in Korea.' Her amused reaction to a question about his Japanese fame drew laughter.

When the conversation shifted to marital assets, Yano Shiho noted Choo Sung-hoon's penchant for 'bling-bling' styles, particularly his love for accessories. She mentioned that he uses a black card while she uses a gold card, and they manage their finances separately. Regarding Choo Sung-hoon carrying around 30 million KRW in cash (in Korean Won, Japanese Yen, and US Dollars), she reacted with 'It's not cool,' and added that both she and their daughter, Sarang, enjoy shopping.

The most significant point of discussion was the issue of their home. Yano Shiho revealed that the house in Japan is under her name, explaining that she purchased it because Choo Sung-hoon prefers renting. She further surprised everyone by stating that Choo Sung-hoon pays her 'rent.' Clarifying this, Yano Shiho explained, 'It's more like living expenses than rent,' showcasing their practical approach to managing household finances.

Korean netizens who watched the broadcast commented, 'Yano Shiho is so cool,' 'It's funny that Choo Sung-hoon lives paying rent lol,' and 'It's good to see their realistic approach to marital finances.'
