Fans were shocked when South Korean actress Go Joon-hee said that even though she has many expensive handbags, she doesn't use them very often and instead prefers to use backpacks in her daily life. The actress talked about the bags she uses now and said that practicality is more important to her than designer labels.
On March 10, she uploaded a short video to her YouTube channel called "Bags Go Joon-hee carries instead of her Chanel bag." This video gave viewers a look at her bag collection and the things she likes to do every day.
According to Sports Chosun, the video shows the actress standing in a dressing room full of expensive bags and talking about which ones she really uses.
Go talked about a few backpacks she often carries and how they have become her go-to accessories for everyday tasks.
In the video, she stated that she favored backpacks over designer handbags.
"There are a lot of bags, and I usually carry a lot of backpacks. Should I say that these backpacks are hip?" she asked.
The actress also said that her favorite bag right now isn't a designer bag; it's a backpack she got as a gift not long ago. Naver reported that Go talked about how much the bag meant to her while showing it to viewers.

She talked about the gift and why the backpack is now her most prized possession.
"I heard that Olive Young gave this away as a gift not long ago. I really want it. It's a backpack I've never carried before, but it's become my most treasured bag,"
Go also talked about how she has many expensive handbags but doesn't use them very often. She joked that people often ask where they are.
While talking to the production crew during the video, she talked about how often people ask her about her designer purchases.
"The Chanel ladies talk about it a lot. They always ask where the bags I bought from their brand went," she said.
When staff members asked her when she last used one of those bags, the actress made a joke.
"A long time ago. When I was young,"she said.
Go showed off her whole collection of designer bags on her YouTube channel before, and she said she has 12 Chanel bags. She also said that the value of some of the items has gone up a lot over time.
One bag she bought for about $900 has reportedly gone up in value to more than $11,000. This bag is what she called a successful example of "Chatech," which means investing in Chanel bags as assets.
