Comedian Kim Won-hyo revealed that his income was not ample in his early career, surprising his colleagues.
On the 17th, the YouTube channel 'Zzanbro Shin Dong-yeob' released 'Song Joon Keun Park Young-jin Kim Won-hyo Yang Sang-guk [Zzanbro EP.158] The leading figures of Gag Concert's golden era! The returned legends of the 22nd class.'
While talking that day, they laughed as they even mentioned the nickname '정자왕' for Kim Won-hyo, who is usually famous for his boundless energy.
The topic then shifted to Kim Won-hyo's early days after his debut. Kim Won-hyo said that because he started broadcasting not through the open recruitment but through a special recruitment, there was a significant difference in appearance fees. He recalled, "Open recruitment paid around the mid-300,000 won per episode, but special recruitment received around the mid-100,000 won," and added, "At most, it was about 500,000 won a month."
His colleagues who appeared with him were also unable to hide their surprise, saying, "Was he paid that little?"
Kim Won-hyo said he drove a used car at the time because his income was not ample. As his career settled, he said he bought a new car for the first time in his life, recalling a rookie period that was quite different from now.
The story of Kim Won-hyo's early days, who started through special recruitment and received about 500,000 won a month before becoming a comedian who shared in Gag Concert's golden era, drew attention.
