Yoo Jae Suk's Hyundai Card The Black: VVIP Benefits and Exclusive Issuance Criteria for the 3 Million Won Annual Fee Card

Entertainer Yoo Jae Suk's credit card, featured on the variety show 'Hangout with Yoo,' has recently garnered significant attention from viewers. During a payment at Kwak Beom's mother's store, Yoo Jae Suk's card was noted for its weight, and Joo Woo Jae's comment about it being a card used by only "0.1% of South Korea" further fueled curiosity about its identity.

The card Yoo Jae Suk used is the Hyundai Card 'The Black,' recognized as Korea's first and most exclusive VVIP card. It is made from special metal alloys, not plastic, giving it a tangible weight. The annual fee ranges from 2.5 million to 3 million won. Issuance is not based solely on wealth; it requires an invitation from Hyundai Card and unanimous approval from an 8-member committee, including the Vice Chairman and executives. Evaluation criteria extend beyond assets and income to include social influence, reputation, morality, and character. Membership is strictly limited to 1,000 individuals in Korea.

Bloggers highlighted that despite the substantial annual fee, the card offers premium benefits exceeding its cost, such as high-end shopping vouchers for luxury brands like Galleria, Kiton, and Moncler, as well as luxury hotel stays and fine dining experiences. It is considered a card held by respected public figures like Yoo Jae Suk, who maintain an unblemished reputation, underscoring its rarity and exclusive privileges.
