Actor Jang Honored on Savings Day
Actor Jang Dong-gun and actress Kim A-jung received awards on the 46th Savings Day, which fell on Tuesday.
Jang received the presidential award and Kim the prime minister prize at a ceremony held in the building of the federation of banks in Seoul.
``I'm honored. I've developed a habit of saving since my childhood,'' Jang told reporters. ``As I'm not married yet, my parents are still taking care of my revenue. They may have to receive this award.''
Jang said his parents believe that saving money in banks is the safest and best way to manage financial assets. ``I have been making investments in safe banking products recommended by experts,'' Jang said.
Jang said he is all the more pleased to have received the presidential award at the same time as the opening of the movie, ``Good Morning President,'' in which he starred in as a president.
Kim, who starred in ``200 Pound Beauty,'' said she has more than 10 savings accounts.
``This is my second savings award after the first one I received at my elementary school,'' Kim said. ``I'm studying wealth management hard, seeking advice from bank experts.''
