Singer DinDin calls out some celebrities for being out of touch with money.
On August 29, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Workman", featuring singer DinDin and Lee Joon working part-time at a franchise cafe.
After finishing their shift, DinDin asked the branch manager, "Is there anything you wish for here?"
The manager replied, "I just wish we got paid more."
To this, Lee Joon asked, "Don't you make good money? Is it like 10 million won a month ($7K USD)?"
The manager, taken aback, responded, "Me?"
DinDin then pointed out, "This is the problem with celebrities. They have no real sense of the value of money. Driving supercars and sleeping on expensive beds all the time, they've lost touch with reality."
The two were paid 40,120 won ($30 USD) for their 4-hour shift, based on minimum wage. DinDin commented, "After receiving just 40,120 won, your comment about a 10 million won monthly salary seems really careless."
Viewers responded with comments like "So satisfying to hear," "Finally, someone said it," and "A lot of celebrities are probably feeling called out."
However, others offered a counterpoint: "Well-known celebrities have often endured years, even decades, of being unknown before making it big," adding that "their hard work and perseverance deserve recognition too."
