In tvN's 'Handsome Guys,' Kim Dong-hyun reveals the secret of UFC sponsorship for the first time.
tvN 'Handsome Guys' (directed by Ryu Ho-jin and Yoon In-hoe 'Handsome') is a comedic show where five cheerful men search for regional restaurants free of dislikes amid the endless menu dilemma faced by modern individuals. In the 35th episode airing today (7th) at 8:40 p.m., actor Park Byung-eun will appear as a guest, joining the 'Handsome' members in a quest for lunch and dinner menu recommendations in the Bangbae-dong and Seorae Village areas.
Among them, Kim Dong-hyun heightens interest by revealing the secret of the sponsor's logo that was on his uniform during his time as an active UFC fighter. "This is my first time disclosing this," said Kim Dong-hyun, who perked up ears, adding, "UFC only covered four days of hotel expenses for one player and staff member. All other accommodation expenses were borne by the athlete. Even just the food cost 10 million won." He expresses gratitude to the sponsors who supported him during his athlete life.
Moreover, Kim Dong-hyun shares that, "Since I'm not a very famous athlete, I received support from numerous companies in small amounts," mentioning a potato soup restaurant that somewhat distanced itself from UFC as a sponsor. He adds, "As I tried to include logos of corporations on my clothes, my t-shirts kept getting longer," humorously confessing the unexpected side effect of 'high volume, low margin sponsorships,' which reportedly had everyone laughing.
Furthermore, Kim Dong-hyun explains, "The front of the t-shirt is the most visible, making it more expensive, and the price varies for pants depending on the front and back," adding further intrigue with details. At this moment, Cha Tae-hyun, with curiosity shining in his eyes, asks, "Which is more expensive, the front or the back?" Kim Dong-hyun responds, "Since I often get overrun by (opposing fighters), the back is more expensive," referring to his backside and teasingly showcasing the prowess of the ground specialist 'Mma Kim' to provoke laughter.
Meanwhile, on this day, Kim Dong-hyun, shedding the charisma of a fighter, reportedly perfectly executes the makeup penalty assigned to the person with the most payments last week, showcasing his excellence as a comedian. As such, expectations rise for the main broadcast of 'Handsome' with Kim Dong-hyun's humorous talk and antics.
The 35th episode of tvN 'Handsome' featuring Bangbae-dong and Seorae Village is scheduled to air today (7th) at 8:40 p.m.
