[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] The story of No Ji-hoon from 'Salrimnam' and his wife Lee Eun-hye not being able to get a credit loan due to no income was revealed.

On the broadcast of KBS 'Salrimhaneun Namjadeul 2 (hereafter Salrimnam 2)' on the 1st, the process of No Ji-hoon and his wife Lee Eun-hye looking for a house was shown.

They looked into apartment sales and housing jeonse with only one month left until the moving date.

No Ji-hoon had a consultation with the bank along with his wife Lee Eun-hye. The bank employee asked, "How much is the specific loan amount you want to receive?" and No Ji-hoon replied, "I haven't thought about the exact amount."

Then, the employee asked No Ji-hoon and Lee Eun-hye about their occupations. Lee Eun-hye stated about her job, "Since we are married now, there is no income." The bank employee said, "If income cannot be verified, credit loans cannot be granted."

No Ji-hoon is a singer, so he falls under freelancer. The employee explained, "Since freelancers' income cannot be clearly verified, additional documents must be submitted to check loan eligibility." Furthermore, regarding the jeonse loan ratio, the employee said, "It is possible up to 80%."

In an interview with the production team, No Ji-hoon said, "I thought I had saved diligently over 31 years, but I faced many realistic walls," and added, "350 million won is a large amount of money, isn't it? So I felt sad."

Lee Eun-hye, who finished the consultation, asked No Ji-hoon, "It’s not as much as we thought," and questioned, "Do we really have to do it through a sale?" No Ji-hoon fell into deep thought for a moment.

Then Lee Eun-hye said, "I have something very sad. I can’t get a loan anymore," and added, "It’s good that you are doing well, but since the economic power has shifted, I feel somewhat hurt."

No Ji-hoon comforted his wife, saying, "My dear wife used to be the sister who bought me good meals." Lee Eun-hye responded, "Why do you leave out 'pretty'?" which made viewers laugh.
