[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Singer and actor Ong Seong-woo revealed the hardships he experienced during a costly family trip.


On the 18th, the MBC variety show 'Radio Star' featured broadcasters Lim Ha-ryong, Yang Dong-geun, Kim Min-a, and Ong Seong-woo as guests. VIXX's Ravi joined as a special MC.


During the broadcast, Ong Seong-woo mentioned a trip he took with his family.


Ong Seong-woo said, "When our family was struggling before, my aunts helped a lot. They pooled money together to provide financial support," adding, "My mother said, 'If you do well later, you must repay your aunts,' and that left a strong impression on me as a child."


He continued, "After debuting, there was a gathering on my maternal side, and my aunts said, 'Since Seong-woo is doing well, please send us on a trip.' Of course, I promised to send them."


He then revealed, "A total of 13 people, including family, aunts, and uncles, traveled to Da Nang, Vietnam. I really regretted it. Instead of going on a package tour, I planned the trip with my aunt and older sister, but it was very stressful."


He added, "I spent over 10 million won, but whenever we did something, there were complaints. They disliked this and that. Complaints kept coming, which was upsetting," causing laughter.


Ong Seong-woo said, "I shared a room with my sister, and every night she asked, 'Is it still the first day? Is it still the second day?' We were both exhausted."



Upon hearing this, MC Kim Gu-ra advised, "From now on, just send them on package tours and only do video calls."
