Kim Jaejoong Deeply Moved by ₩50,000 Niece’s Gesture Despite Holding Elite Black Card
On the July 11 broadcast of KBS 2TV’s “Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant”, Kim Jae Joong proved that no amount of wealth can overshadow the warmth of a simple, heartfelt gesture — especially when it comes from family.
Returning to his family home for a summer gathering, the singer and entrepreneur — famously among the top 0.05% elite Black Card holders — went all out for his beloved nieces and nephews. With great enthusiasm, he set up a backyard pool and personally curated a mini snack stand for the kids. “I’ll take full responsibility for their snacks — I’m the cool uncle,” he declared confidently.
The menu included a variety of treats like tanghulu (candied fruit skewers), potato hot dogs, and roasted baby potatoes, all prepared with care. His culinary efforts drew smiles and applause from his family — but it was a small act from one niece that left Jaejoong genuinely touched.
As the festivities unfolded, one of his nieces approached and handed him ₩50,000 (approx. $37 USD), quietly saying, “This is for the food.” His mother added, “She gave it from her own allowance.” The gesture overwhelmed the star, who smiled warmly and hugged his niece tightly, saying, “I got a tip from my niece. Thank you.”
Despite his A-list status and financial affluence, Jaejoong’s reaction underscored the importance of sincerity and love within families. It was a tender moment that reminded viewers that the most valuable currency isn’t found in bank accounts — but in the simple, genuine connections that enrich our lives.
