MBC's 19th open recruitment comedian Shin Wan-soon revealed his recent status as a lawyer.
On the 15th, a video titled "classmate special part 2: the comedian who became a lawyer" was uploaded to the channel "Alexander Show."
Shin Wan-soon said, "These two people next to me and I used to be classmates from MBC's 19th open recruitment comedians," and Kim Yong-jae boasted, "He is practically the biggest output of our cohort."
It turned out that Shin Wan-soon is from MBC's 19th open recruitment comedians, graduated from Yonsei University law school, worked as a TV CHOSUN reporter, then entered the path of the bar exam, passed Law School and became the lawyer he is now.
Shin Wan-soon said, "I did three years of Law School and failed the exam twice, and I worked as a reporter for five years. It took about 10 years in total to become a lawyer," and added, "I am satisfied with my job now. First, I can work when I want to, and commuting is free. There is nothing like having to leave by a certain time like at a company. I like that. Also, you earn money proportional to the work you do," showing satisfaction.
Kim Yong-jae said, "When he had been a comedian for three months I told him we should quit together, and I still regret that he refused," and Shin Wan-soon recalled, "He was doing well then. With teacher Lee Hong-ryeol," reminiscing about the time. Kim Yong-jae regretted, "I should have quit right then; why didn't I hold on and tell him to quit me a little more?" Shin Wan-soon laughed, "Still, I could see that you were going to become a kind of star," and Kim Yong-jae added, "Today, coming to the lawyer's office here made me tear up," which drew laughter.
Shim Jung-eun said, "Actually, lawyers seem to have similarities with us freelancers. Although there must be a big revenue gap," and said, "When I was the youngest, I received an annual salary of 290,000 won."
Shin Wan-soon testified, "But once you go through the comedian room, the bar exam is nothing. You can go to the study room at 9 a.m. and come home at 9 p.m. Studying that much is enough. Being a comedian is much tougher than being a lawyer."
In response to the question, "Lawyers also have a lot of stress; how do you relieve it?" Shin Wan-soon mentioned the tremendous income difference, saying, "There is financial therapy, and I earn a thousand times more than when I worked at MBC..(laughs) Back then I couldn't even earn 1,000,000 won. I only had enough to appear in one 'Deoldeoldeuri' (street passerby) role," creating surprise by referring to the enormous income gap. <
