Korean celebs 'blessed with successful wives' — who's No. 1?

On the September 1 episode of KBS 2TV's entertainment show "Problem Child in House," comedian Kim Sook jokingly highlighted four men who are reportedly married to successful wives. These include Dr. Hong Hye-gul, film director Jang Hang-jun, singer Lee Sang-soon, and former KBS announcer-turned-TV personality Do Kyung-wan. The joking reference drew laughter from both the cast and viewers.

However, the conversation took an interesting turn when physician and broadcaster Yeo Esther, Hong's wife, shared some insights about her own lifestyle. Yeo described herself as a "homebody" who doesn't frequently venture out, even on weekends. This led Hong to quip about the financial advantages of his wife's choice to stay at home. "Because she stays home, she doesn't spend much money. The money just keeps piling up at home, and I'm the only one who spends it," he said with amusement.

Kim Sook then noted that Hong Hye-gul is widely acknowledged as one of the "four kings of husbands blessed with wifely luck." The other three men mentioned in this context are Jang Hang-jun, Lee Sang-soon, and Do Kyung-wan. Each of these individuals is married to a person whose career or lifestyle has contributed to their husband's perceived financial "luck."
