Anchor Kim Jin-woong is regaining attention amid the ongoing controversies regarding 'failed stocks'.
Recently aired on KBS2's 'Mr. President's Ears Are Donkey Ears', the challenge of anchor Hong Joo-yeon on 'Immortal Song' was revealed. On this day, while the scenery of the KBS news department was shown, Kim Jin-woong caught the eye by reading a book. When asked a question, he said, 'I'm reading a stock book. Recently, the tariff war has been dragging me down to hell.'
When Jun Hyun-moo noted, 'Stocks have dropped a lot,' Kim Jin-woong replied, 'Reading won't solve anything, but we can't just sit back, can we?' Eom Ji-in pointed out, 'I told you not to invest in stocks, right? Your face is pale,' and Kim Jin-woong confessed, 'There are some that have been delisted,' surprising everyone. Eom Ji-in warned strongly, 'Daniel, stop with the stocks!' and Kim Suk also asked, 'How much have you lost?' Eom Ji-in shocked everyone by saying, 'The losses are almost 60 million won, it's a -70%. I'm still going on like this.'
Moreover, Kim Jin-woong's love life was also revealed in a recent broadcast. Eom Ji-in said, 'I went on a blind date recently, but it was a disaster,' and revealed, 'When I was at my previous job, where my salary was around 2 million won, I spent my entire salary on gifts for my girlfriend. I gave her luxury gifts worth 1.65 million won, and even paid for it with a credit card revolving, having interest higher than my salary.' Jun Hyun-moo, while saying, 'I also give everything when I date. I'm foolish. I give everything,' immediately drew the line with Kim Jin-woong, saying, 'You should never use credit debt to buy gifts,' and advised, 'Especially don't tell Eom Ji-in.'
Meanwhile, during the broadcast on the 24th, Kim Jin-woong's remarks sparked another controversy. Eom Ji-in noted Do Kyung-wan as 'the junior who married the best' among male juniors, praising his marriage life with his wife Jang Yoon-jung and his support for her. However, Kim Jin-woong made a shocking remark, saying, 'I can't live like senior Do Kyung-wan. I can't live as someone's "sub."' Eventually, Jang Yoon-jung expressed her displeasure through social media, and Kim Jin-woong also issued an official apology.
In addition, the broadcast from last July on KBS 2TV's 'Mr. President's Ears Are Donkey Ears' is also coming back into the spotlight. At that time, Kim Jin-woong showed up 15 minutes late to an important meeting in the news department and gave an absurd answer in preparation for a table tennis caster stating, 'I received personal lessons six months ago.' In response, Jun Hyun-moo expressed his frustration, saying, 'It's not important what you can do,' and Eom Ji-in pointed out, 'You should learn commentary.'
Nevertheless, Kim Jin-woong insisted on his own way, saying, 'I'm trying to remove the KBS color,' while Park Myung-soo quipped, 'Instead of removing the KBS color, it might be better to remove him from KBS.' Jun Hyun-moo remarked, 'From my perspective, I think we need to keep watching him for about five years,' discussing Kim Jin-woong's actions that have continued since the past with a subtle distinction.
