Hong Jin-kyung Faces Scrutiny Over Massage Device Pricing on MBC's Good Day
On April 6, 2025, during the MBC program Good Day (굿데이), host Hong Jin-kyung found herself in a heated discussion regarding the pricing of her beloved guasha massage device. She claimed, "Using this will clear your blood flow. It’s different from regular guasha in terms of comfort." The other cast members showed keen interest, leading to a bidding war that ended with Chef Ahn Sung-jae winning the device for 670,000 KRW.
However, things took a turn when actress Kim Go-eun questioned the price, suggesting it was only 25,000 KRW. Hong Jin-kyung quickly defended herself, stating, "It’s 55,000 KRW! I bought it for 50!" This prompted Lee Soo-hyuk, who was also searching online, to raise doubts, claiming he found it for around 34,000 KRW. Ahn Sung-jae expressed his disappointment, saying, "So you got scammed?"
In response, Hong Jin-kyung insisted, "Wait a minute. If you search, it will come up. I’ll show you!" She then pulled up her purchase record to verify the authenticity of the product. Jeong Hyung-don intervened, saying, "This isn’t an interrogation room," while Hong Jin-kyung clarified, "Look, I bought two for 1,080,000 KRW!"
Ultimately, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Kim Go-eun expressed her desire to buy the device, to which Hong Jin-kyung humorously replied, "Oh, you want to buy it? I thought you were investigating me... I misunderstood!"
