So Yool's frugal philosophy: 'I'll wear my swimsuit until it wears out'

So Yool, a former member of the group Crayon Pop, is drawing attention once again for her extraordinary frugality. Contrary to her glamorous stage persona, she maintains a humble lifestyle, rarely discarding items—a habit that has elicited both laughter and surprise from her family.

In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Jaemi House' on the 31st, the travel adventures of Moon Hee-joon and So Yool's family were showcased. While visiting a hotel swimming pool during a family vacation, So Yool's unique spending habits naturally became a topic of conversation.

Moon Hee-joon brought laughter when he looked at his wife's swimsuit and asked, "Mom, you changed your swimsuit?" He is well aware of So Yool's tendency to rarely purchase new clothing.

In particular, Moon previously made headlines by mentioning an orange fluorescent swimsuit So Yool used to wear, revealing, "Even though the fabric is wearing out and turning into powder, she still won't buy a new one." This lifestyle stands in stark contrast to the typical celebrity image of being highly sensitive to trends and changing styles.

In response, So Yool remarked, "If I'm going to come to the pool this often, maybe I should buy one more swimsuit." This prompted Moon and their daughter, Heeyul, to react simultaneously with, "What's gotten into you?"

However, the family's "nagging" did not end there. Heeyul offered some cute, practical advice, saying, "Mom needs to buy pajamas instead of a swimsuit." Moon added, "One day, Heeyul suddenly said that Mom needs to buy some pajamas because she wears the same thing every day."

So Yool's lifestyle goes beyond simple saving; it is tied to her personal values. While she once delivered glamorous performances on stage, her real life focuses on necessity over consumption and maintaining the value of her belongings for as long as possible.

As celebrity "flex" culture and lavish spending often dominate the headlines, So Yool's approach is garnering fresh interest for being the exact opposite. Her emphasis on family time and being satisfied with what she has, rather than chasing expensive items and new trends, has resonated with the public.

Moon Hee-joon and So Yool married in 2017 and have one son and one daughter. The couple continues to connect with fans by sharing their unvarnished daily lives through various content.
