Lee Seung Gi's past statements about money and happiness have come to light in the midst of his unpaid wages controversy with his former label Hook Entertainment.
The singer and actor donated 5.4 billion KRW (~ $4.1 million USD) he received from the label, and his past statements on the variety show 'Circle House' have caught attention once again. On an episode that aired in March, he expressed, "I grew up in an ordinary middle class household. I may have earned less than what people around me think, but I now have a much higher income than the general public. I've always wondered if I'd be happy if I make a lot of money, and I still do."
Lee Seung Gi continued, "When I talk to people who have a lot of money around me, they also say, 'I'm happiest when I chat with good people while eating delicious food.' Listening to such stories, what is certain is that money can prevent misfortune, but it does not make you happy. I really want to say this."

I mean, agreed, I'm also happiest when surrounded by good friends, eating and drinking. You don't need to be rich for that, but you do need money. Money isn't the source of happines but it definitely contributes. It gives a sense of security and enables experiences. Then it's up to you how you enjoy them and who you choose to enjoy them with.
