Actress Hwang Jung-eum: 'I no longer carry Chanel bags... eco-bags are the best'

South Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum has declared a shift away from designer handbags, embracing the practicality and comfort of eco-bags. In a recent YouTube video on her channel 'Hwang Jung-eum,' the actress gave viewers a tour of her home's storage spaces, highlighting an extensive collection of eco-bags.

These are all eco-bags. Nowadays, I don't use luxury brands at all and only carry eco-bags.

"Look at this room. It's so well-organized," she said, opening her closet to reveal stacks of eco-bags. "These are all eco-bags. Nowadays, I don't use luxury brands at all and only carry eco-bags." When asked by the producer if she bought them all, Hwang replied, "Some I bought, some I received."

Eco-bags usually cost around 10,000 to 20,000 won, and even the most expensive ones are about 100,000 won.

As she organized her bags, Hwang admitted to forgetting why she purchased some of them. When questioned about the convenience of these bags, she responded enthusiastically. "They are so convenient. Chanel bags are honestly too heavy, aren't they?" she remarked. "Eco-bags usually cost around 10,000 to 20,000 won (approximately $7-$15 USD), and even the most expensive ones are about 100,000 won ($75 USD)."

As you get older, your body gets tired, so you're drawn to things that are light and comfortable. It seems like everything is shifting towards practicality rather than just style now.

Hwang reflected on how her priorities have changed with age. "As you get older, your body gets tired, so you're drawn to things that are light and comfortable," she explained. "It seems like everything is shifting towards practicality rather than just style now." She also showed a collection of rattan bags, playfully suggesting she might share them with her staff, though she confessed to still having a desire for rattan bags in various colors.
