[Sportschosun Reporter Jung Yu-na] Actor Han Groo, who lives in Cheongdam-dong, visited Gyeongdong Market and was amazed by fruit prices that were about half the usual cost.
A video titled "Just 15 Minutes from Gangnam! I Went to Gyeongdong Market for the Fruit" was recently uploaded to Han Groo's YouTube channel.
Han Groo, who lives in Cheongdam-dong, visited Gyeongdong Market in Seoul with a friend that day. She said, "I came because I heard the fruit is really good," expressing her excitement.
After finishing a meal, Han Groo began shopping in earnest and bought a variety of fruit, including mangoes, bananas, dragon fruit, Korean melons, and watermelons. She repeatedly expressed amazement at the market's low prices.
Han Groo said, "There is no need to bargain here. It's so cheap," adding, "I don't think you should even try to bargain."
That day, Han Groo could not hide her surprise at the low fruit prices at Gyeongdong Market. She explained, "An 8-kilogram black watermelon costs about 16,000 to 17,000 won, but in my neighborhood it costs more than 30,000 won," and added, "At a fruit shop in Cheongdam-dong, it costs around 32,000 won."
She also said, "Fruit is actually so expensive in my neighborhood that I can't buy it often, but this place is close to Gangnam and the prices are good, so I think it's great," expressing satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Han Groo married a non-celebrity nine years older than her in September 2015, but they divorced in 2022. She is now raising their twin children on her own.
