Actor Kim Ga-yeon spoke out directly about rumors that she comes from a Gwangju family worth 30 billion won.
On the 20th, the YouTube channel Gwanjong Un-ni released a video titled 55-year-old Kim Ga-yeon! How she captivated Im Yo-hwan, 8 years her junior with a nine-figure annual salary, revealed for the first time (assets 60 billion won).
That day, Im Yo-hwan, who transitioned from professional gamer to poker player, spoke candidly about his prize money and revenue.
When Lee Ji Hye mentioned a rumor that she earned about 3 billion won in poker prize money, Kim Ga-yeon asked, "If it's more, 20 billion?" In response, Im Yo-hwan explained, "There are entry fees and it varies widely. Prize money is not net revenue. Money has been put in over time." Kim Ga-yeon also said, "I have never seen the prize money. I only have lots of trophies." Im Yo-hwan said he saves his prize money into a poker fund called "bankroll" instead of using it immediately.
When asked about the largest prize amount, Kim Ga-yeon answered, "I should protect prize amounts I don't know about. I don't want to know. If I know, I feel I will interfere," prompting laughter. Im Yo-hwan added, "If I receive 3 billion won in prize money, even if I don't want her to know, my wife will find out and get involved." Kim Ga-yeon's affection for her husband, who showed top-level skill in poker following StarCraft, remained unchanged. Kim Ga-yeon expressed her affection, saying, "My husband is most attractive when he plays games. I get butterflies when he concentrates."
Then Lee Ji Hye brought up the long-circulating "300 billion wealthy family" rumor, saying, "There is talk that Kim Ga-yeon is extremely wealthy." To everyone's surprise, Kim Ga-yeon corrected it, saying, "60 billion?" Kim Ga-yeon explained, "My father ran an enterprise and it did very well," adding, "It's something I briefly heard from sisters who handled the business accounting."
However, she drew a line, saying that the 60 billion won does not mean it is her family's personal wealth. Kim Ga-yeon corrected, "60 billion is true, but it is the company's assets, not personal wealth," revealing the truth behind the wealth rumors that had arisen.
Im Yo-hwan also said he did not know about his wife's family's wealth when they married. He recalled, "I didn't know at first. I learned through people around me," and added, "I was also earning quite a bit at the time, so it wasn't particularly important. It was just like, 'Oh, really?'"
