Translator Hwang Seok-hee revealed her income from 20 years ago.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the MBC entertainment program 'The Manager' (hereinafter 'The Manager') featured translator Hwang Seok-hee and Oh Jong-hyun.

During the broadcast, Hwang Seok-hee said, "The first thing I did was 'Dr. Phil', and it was incredibly talkative. It took me 2 hours to translate 1 minute. The total running time was 40 minutes, and it took 80 hours to translate everything. But I didn't even get 100,000 won..." surprising the panelists.

Hearing this, Oh Jong-hyun responded, "So you earned 2500 won for 2 hours? You should quit," showing his close friendship and eliciting laughter. However, he soon added, "When I first started, the pay was really low. I worked for 10 hours and only got 50,000 won, and I had to work all month to barely exceed 1 million won, so it was tough. That's why we helped Seok-hee a lot," revealing his true feelings in the interview and creating a warm atmosphere.

'The Manager' airs every Saturday at 11:10 PM on MBC.
