Singer and broadcaster Gangnam spoke out about his wife Lee Sang-hwa's powerful wealth, YouTube success, and life that has changed since naturalization.

MBC 'Radio Star', which aired on the 23rd, was decorated with a special feature of 'The Essence of a Modern Mister' starring Ko Jun, K.Will, Kim Poong, and Gangnam.

On this day's broadcast, Gangnam said "The company's treatment changed as the number of YouTube channel subscribers exceeded 1 million."I was confident that I would succeed within five years from the beginning." he said.




When asked about the source of confidence, he laughed, saying "Because there was a wife Lee Sang-hwa and Lee Sang-hwa's wife."

Currently, Gangnam operates a YouTube channel called `Neighborhood Friend Kang Nami', of which the 「Wife Lee Sang-hwa Secret Eating Show" series drew attention with 1 million to 2.2 million views per episode.

He said "The video of Japanese singing exceeded 10 million views"With this opportunity, he even signed a contract with Amuse, one of Japan's three major entertainment agencies."




"I didn't hear from you when I was Japanese, but after naturalization, I came back," he added, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.

Gangnam, which is in its third year of naturalization to Korea, also released the actual resident registration card on the same day. "There were so many things to register that I was issued under my real name 'Namekawa Yasuo"I'm going to change my name to 'X Gangnam' soon, and then I'll be the founder of the family name."

After becoming a Korean, he said "When I got tax-free benefits in Don Quixote, Japan", and asked me to pay tax-free benefits."I said ', and the employee was embarrassed because the pronunciation was so good. There was a 10% discount, and it was bigger than I thought it would be."




However, when Kim Gu-ra mentioned the reality by saying, `Now I will pay 50% of income tax,' Gangnam asked back with a bitter look on his face "How much does everyone pay, taxes?" causing laughter.

He also confessed his wife Lee Sang-hwa's wealth. "Each bank account is managed separately, and even if my income increases, Sang-hwa is still on top", he said. "My wife buys a little expensive one, and she buys what she wants to buy."

Lee Sang-hwa then competed in international competitions for 25 years and won 300 to 400 gold medals. There are so many prize money, so when I calculated it, he had five times more wealth than me."

Gangnam was born in 1987 to a Japanese father and a Korean mother, and passed the 2022 naturalization test in three times to acquire Korean citizenship. Lee Sang-hwa formed a relationship through SBS 'Law of the Jungle' in 2018 and married in 2019.
