In the past, Yoo Jae Suk revealed that he once paid in 12-month installments just to afford a luxury brand suit.

But when he realized that working on his inner self was more important, he lost interest entirely.

But Yoo Jae Suk clarified that he didn’t give up luxury goods because of his image.

I simply don’t need luxury goods.
