Kim Sook's story of missing a blind date 17 years ago with a man earning 1 billion won a year was revealed, sending the studio into a flutter. The person in question was former baseball player Kim Tae Kyun.
On the 23rd broadcast of KBS2 variety show Problem Child in House, Kim Tae Kyun appeared and talked about his peak-era salary, lavish spending habits, and the unexpected blind date anecdote with Kim Sook.
That day Kim Tae Kyun said, "Seon Mi-sun nuna suggested a blind date 17 years ago," and added, "the other person was Kim Sook," in a surprising confession. Everyone was shocked by the unexpected name, and Kim Sook showed embarrassment, saying, "I never refused. I didn't even know about such a story." Kim Tae Kyun went on to say, "But with the season starting it naturally fell through," and the cast reacted, "What terrible timing," and "I guess it wasn't fate," expressing regret.
In particular, Kim Tae Kyun was a star player who at the time recorded the first 1 billion won annual salary in the KBO League. Kim Tae Kyun also frankly admitted to the rumor that "his hobby is buying cars." He said, "Baseball players don't have many places to spend money. So I flexed as a way to give myself a gift."
He added, "There was a time I owned up to six cars," and joked, "I was competing with Ronaldo alone." He surprised listeners by saying he actually bought the same model car as soccer star Ronaldo. The most talked-about story among them was buying a supercar in the 800 million won range. Hong Jin Kyung reacted almost angrily, asking, "You had a 1 billion won salary and bought a car for 800 million won?" and Kim Tae Kyun admitted, "I regret it a lot now."
Hearing this, Kim Sook joked, "If that blind date had happened then, I could have ridden in an 800 million won supercar," blowing up the scene. Kim Tae Kyun said, "Now I've sorted everything out and only have one car," and the cast applauded, saying, "This is much wiser now."
