In Zzanbro, Yeom Kyunghwan once again posted record-breaking sales.
On the 12th, the YouTube variety show Zzanbro EP.127 was released, featuring comedy legends Choi Yangrak, Lee Bongwon, Ji Sangryeol and Yeom Kyunghwan, who delivered unabashed banter.
At the center of the broadcast was, without a doubt, the "home shopping crown prince" Yeom Kyunghwan. Ji Sangryeol said, "Yeom Kyunghwan recorded a net profit of 5 billion won this year. He paid 2.3 billion won in taxes," adding, "He's a walking National Tax Service. We make a living because of people like him," which sent the audience into laughter.
In response, Lee Bongwon approached Yeom Kyunghwan saying, "Let me get some of that energy," prompting roars of laughter. The cast said, "They asked if there were any sponsorships today," and "He did three home shopping shows just today," conveying Yeom Kyunghwan's busy recent activities.
In particular, the members recalled the past and teased, "He's not the Yeom Kyunghwan of old," "He used to be pathetic, he looked ordinary so he couldn't even be funny and was awkward," and "He's completely different now," tossing playful jokes, which Yeom Kyunghwan took in stride with laughter.
Meanwhile, Yeom Kyunghwan previously personally explained on another show why he continues doing home shopping and clarified misunderstandings about his income. He said, "Being an entertainer is a job that requires being chosen. If someone doesn't cast you, you have no work," adding, "There was a very long period with no work, so I changed fields, and now that I get a lot of selections, I do three to five home shopping shows a day, and up to seven on busy days." He added that he currently appears on home shopping broadcasts about 100 times a month on average.
Regarding rumors that he is a "building owner worth around 30 billion won," he denied them with a laugh, saying, "There is too much fake news. There's talk that I became a 30 billion won building owner, and that I spend 10 million won a day on alcohol," adding, "Honestly, I wish that were true. My wish is to own at least one building." Yeom Kyunghwan also drew a clear line, saying, "There are many broadcasts where more than 1 billion won is sold in an hour, so people think I earn that money. I only receive an appearance fee, and the sales belong to the manufacturer. Whether items sell out or not, my income is the same."
Contrary to exaggerated rumors, viewers empathize with Yeom Kyunghwan's realistic confession that he quietly stays on site and does not rest in order to be selected.
