Broadcaster Jeong Ga-eun took the wheel and embarked on a livelihood challenge. Support is pouring in for his courageous steps showing reality as it is.
Jeong Ga-eun released a video titled [EP.16] 'Jeong Ga-eun starts taxi driving!!! You have to pay before you get off' through his YouTube channel 'Wonder Ga-eun' on the 21st. In the video, he goes to work for an actual taxi company, signs a labor contract, and officially takes his first step as a taxi driver.
Jeong Ga-eun calmly sat down in the driver's seat, saying, 'I came to a new taxi company for various reasons, not the one I previously met.' The scene of him attaching the taxi driver's certificate and learning how to operate and settle the fare was truly a reflection of reality.
Especially in the early part of the video, he added a lighthearted laugh, saying, 'Today, I didn't wear Chanel. Why are you criticizing me over something like that?' This statement was a nod to the previous controversy over high-end luxury bags after declaring his intention to drive a taxi, with Jeong Ga-eun revealing the realistic reason that 'as a single mom, I need a stable income,' which resonated with the public.
On this day, Jeong Ga-eun set a daily income goal of 200,000 won but received advice that it would not be easy. Furthermore, he made it clear that 'although it is YouTube content, it is a real challenge to actually pick up passengers,' emphasizing that it is not a 'concept.' The brief conversations with passengers and his adaptation in a real operating environment added authenticity.
After finishing the first day, he said with a bright smile, 'I think it will suit me well.' He also added a witty remark, 'You have to pay before you get off~.'
Fans responded warmly, saying, 'Really cool and brave,' 'It's all about making a living; who cares what others say?', 'I applaud you for not avoiding reality,' and 'Drive safely and cheer up!'.
Meanwhile, Jeong Ga-eun has been sharing his daily life through his YouTube channel in addition to his recent broadcasting activities, showcasing new professional attempts and a candid life.
