Review: This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
In "X's private life," Park Jaehyun confessed his appearance fee during his time on "Surprise."
On the 17th, the new TV CHOSUN variety show "X's private life" premiered, and actor Park Jaehyun revealed the practical reason he gave up acting.
That day Park Jaehyun said, "I retired from acting for my family," and frankly confessed his economic difficulties. In particular, he revealed that when he appeared on MBC "Surprise" his fee per episode was less than 400,000 won and his monthly income was about 1.5 million won, shocking viewers.
He said, "That was the highest amount I received among actors," and "Because appearances were not steady, it was difficult to cope when I couldn't earn," he said. He added, "I thought I couldn't continue acting because the income was insufficient to support my family."
Still, he said he wanted to keep his pride as an actor. Park Jaehyun said, "I avoided doing other work because I was worried people would think, 'Doing Surprise, so he must not be making money,'" and added, "I'm an actor," attracting attention. In response, cast member Jeong Gukbin joked, "Isn't that celebrity disease?" drawing laughter.
Also on that broadcast, the family relationships that continued after the divorce were revealed. Park Jaehyun met his ex-wife and daughter on a visitation day, and the three greeted each other naturally in a not-too-heavy atmosphere. He emphasized, "We often saw each other until the divorce papers were finalized. I used to go out and play with my daughter," and added, "As a parent, my feelings toward my child are the same."
He hurriedly borrowed a friend's car to pick up his daughter, and together with his daughter sought out her mother, showing unchanged family love.
The time he agonized between the dream of being an actor and reality, and the form of family that continued even after the divorce. Park Jaehyun's candid story left a deep impression.
