TV personality Noh Hong-chul got brutally honest about his stance on marriage — and the nonstop money requests he says he deals with every single day.
On May 7, Noh uploaded a video to his YouTube channel after returning from a shoot in India, hosting a rooftop Q&A at home where he answered a wide range of subscriber questions.
When asked, "Can't marriage and freedom coexist?" Noh admitted, "I haven't been married yet, so I'm not sure if the two can go together." He added, "I'm incredibly satisfied with my life right now. Whether it's sticking to a routine or making a spur-of-the-moment choice, I love that I can live freely."
Still, he made it clear he isn't against marriage itself. "People often ask if I'm anti-marriage. I won't actively search for a spouse, but I believe in destiny," he said. "If I meet that person, I could get married right away. I'm fully ready."
Noh also revealed an unexpected struggle. Asked, "How many times a day do people ask to borrow money?" he shocked viewers by replying, "It feels like being asked how many meals I have in a day." He continued, "Requests come through DMs (direct messages), and some people even show up in person. On busy days, it's in the double digits — and even on slow days, it's consistently in the single digits."
Recently, Noh drew attention for a real estate investment. He reportedly purchased a building on Garosu-gil in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul for about 15.2 billion KRW.
