Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu visited Daiso for the first time and became amazed by the surprisingly low prices throughout the store.

On the 20th, Kim Junsu uploaded a video titled 'Kim Junsu (XIA)'s GRAVITY Log | Finding Gravity' on his official YouTube channel. In the video, he showed off his signature honest reactions as he explored unfamiliar places.

The moment he entered the store, Kim Junsu said, "I finally came to Daiso. Everyone kept telling me I had to visit at least once," unable to hide his excitement. He added, "I've been to Daiso once or twice in Japan, but I’ve never visited one in Korea before. So today I'm planning to explore it today."

Once he started shopping, Kim Junsu wandered around asking, "What should I buy?" He revealed that he usually has a lot of interest in interior design and lighting, saying, "I really love lighting and interior design," as he carefully scanned through those sections.

What shocked him the most were the unbelievably cheap prices. After seeing household products ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 KRW, Kim Junsu repeatedly reacted with disbelief and admiration. He exclaimed, "Do they actually make money from this? How can this be just 1,000 KRW? Then what on earth have I been buying all this time? Is this why everyone kept telling me to come to Daiso?"

He later asked the staff, "Is there even anything here that costs more than 10,000 KRW?" When they replied, "No," he burst into laughter once again. He jokingly added, "This is seriously affordable. Where have I been shopping all this time?"

His excitement while shopping continued to grow. As he continuously tossed products into his cart, Kim Junsu kept saying things like, "What is this even made of to cost only 5,000 KRW?" Before long, his cart became completely full. He commented on his unstoppable shopping instinct, saying, "Everything is so cheap, I just keep throwing more things in."

Right before paying, he briefly looked nervous and joked, "Why is it so hard to spend over 100,000 KRW here?" He was once again shocked by the unexpectedly low total price. In the end, he bought 30 items for a total of 101,000 KRW.

After checking the receipt, Kim Junsu stared at it in disbelief and repeatedly said, "Does this even make sense?"

Meanwhile, Kim Junsu is known to live at Signiel Residence in Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, Seoul, one of the most expensive officetels complex in South Korea. The home he purchased is reportedly valued at around 8.9 billion KRW.
