Jung Joon-ho reveals extensive social network on SBS variety show

During a recent broadcast of the SBS variety program ‘My Little Old Boy’, actor Jung Joon-ho showcased his extensive social network. Jung revealed that he maintains a list of 2,000 acquaintances to whom he sends Chuseok holiday gifts, including high-profile figures such as corporate chairmen, members of the National Assembly, local government heads, and former or current government ministers.

Jung stated that he has been performing this tradition for 20 years and noted that his mobile phone contains 18,000 saved contacts, approximately 70% of whom are aged 60 or older. He shared his philosophy on relationships, stating, “Money disappears once you spend it, but people remain once you make them.”

This discussion follows previous reports regarding the scale of Jung’s social circle, including his wedding in 2011 which reportedly had 5,000 guests and required two separate ceremonies in Seoul and Yesan.
