Content creator and businesswoman Kristel Fulgar flexes her dream car!
Pinay content creator Kristel Fulgar and her Korean husband, Ha Su-hyuk, shared online their journey of buying their first car as a married couple.
Back in March 2025, Kristel announced that she had married Su-hyuk at Luna Miele in Seoul, South Korea.

In Kristel's vlog titled “Brand new car, first time driving in Korea | Married Life Diaries,” she explained why they opted to purchase the Volvo XC60 in cash.
The social media star said, “Okay, decided na kami. Iniisip namin mag-cash para walang interest na five percent. Sayang din kasi 'yung parang nasa 200,000 yung interest. Better to pay in cash na lang para hindi na rin isipin 'yung monthly or yearly payment.”
Kristel also emphasized that aside from being her dream car brand, Volvo's strong safety record played a major role in their decision.
“Masasabi ko na dream brand ko na talaga ang Volvo. Nung nalaman ko kung gaano siya ka-safe, sobrang naging importante sa akin ang safety—and good health ngayon para sa amin ng asawa ko,” the former child actress noted.
“Wala na akong pakialam ngayon sa magandang klaseng sasakyan or sa pinakausong sasakyan—kung ano 'yung trending or sosyal. For me, safety talaga ang importante ngayon.”
Aside from being a content creator and influencer, Kristel also owns a perfume brand called Kalmellow.
