[Sportschosun Lee Woo-joo] Actress Sunwoo Yong-yeo said she lost 4 million won after mistakenly opening the wrong savings account.
On the 17th, a video titled "The Real Favorite Course of 82-Year-Old Sunwoo Yong-yeo, Who Has Visited Ganghwa Island for More Than 60 Years, Revealed for the First Time" was posted on Sunwoo Yong-yeo's YouTube channel.
When she met with the production staff, Sunwoo Yong-yeo drew attention by saying, "I lost 4 million won just yesterday." She continued, "I said I would deposit 1 million won every month and withdraw it after five years. I was going to open an installment savings account. But when I went to the bank, they told me it wasn't an installment savings account—it was a retirement pension, so I couldn't withdraw the money as I pleased." She had mistakenly signed up for a retirement pension instead of an installment savings account.
Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "What do I have to do with mandatory retirement? I told them to give me the money after deducting the fee," revealing that the early-termination fee was 4 million won. She added, "I don't keep installment savings accounts for more than six months. I can't trust the banks either; you never know what might happen. After I got married, I didn't entrust my money to a bank. I kept it under a rice chest. Even my husband didn't know."
In particular, Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "You don't know how usefully I spent that money. I even bought plane tickets when I went to the United States. Plane tickets were expensive then, too, and I bought tickets for four people. After that, I started entrusting my money to a bank," drawing laughter.
