Kim Hee-chul even sold the solid gold logo from his air conditioner... Appraised at 34 million won, he said, "I'll sell everything and buy stocks" ('My Little Old Boy')

[Sportschosun Reporter Jo Yoon-sun] The appraised value of the gold items Kim Hee-chul had kept at home was revealed.

In the episode of Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) 'My Little Old Boy' aired on the 21st, Kim Hee-chul, Kim Jun-ho, and Kim Jong-min were shown trying their hand at gold investing.

That day, Kim Hee-chul visited a gold shop run by the well-known gold-buying creator Ringring Unni with Kim Jun-ho and Kim Jong-min. Bringing a pile of gold items from home, he said, "I started investing in stocks, and today I'm going to sell all my gold, buy the things I like, and put the rest into stocks."

Kim Hee-chul asked for appraisals on everything he brought, including the Excellence Award trophy from the SBS Entertainment Awards, a gold key he received as the winning prize at the 'My Little Old Boy' sports day, the solid gold logo attached to a limited-edition air conditioner, a gold necklace inherited from his grandfather, and even a pair of gold cups he received on the show.

When it was revealed that the SBS trophy he had been most excited about was actually gold-plated, Kim Hee-chul drew laughter by saying, "I feel betrayed. Throw it away."

By contrast, the gold key he received five years ago at the 'My Little Old Boy' sports day was confirmed to be 5 don of pure gold. The solid gold logo attached to the limited-edition air conditioner was also valued at 1 don. Seeing this, Kim Jong-min expressed envy, saying, "I earned the air conditioner fee itself."

In particular, the gold necklace inherited from his grandfather weighed 20 don, with an appraised value of about 15.1 million won, surprising everyone. Kim Hee-chul then clasped his hands and shouted, "Grandfather! Your grandson will work hard and live well," drawing laughter. The pair of gold cups he received through the program was also valued at about 20 don, giving it a worth of more than 15 million won.

The total appraised value of the gold items Kim Hee-chul brought that day exceeded 34 million won by a wide margin, and Kim Jong-min was stunned, saying, "You could buy a car with gold."
