Former announcer Kim Seon-geun reported that he did various part-time jobs after leaving KBS.
On the afternoon of the 23rd, during the KBS2 entertainment program 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (hereinafter 'Sadangui'), Kim Seon-geun revealed the reason for his departure from KBS.
In the broadcast, Kim Seon-geun said, "I got a call saying I won the lottery while filming '6 o'clock My Hometown.' Thinking about the kids' education expenses and other costs, I felt like I was going crazy," explaining that he left due to financial reasons.
He continued, "I was waiting for the right timing, and then the announcement for 'Mr. Trot 2' came out. After declaring myself a freelancer, I focused on the audition but got eliminated in the first round. I had zero income after leaving. I didn't have any income for about six months. I was really grateful that Jang Yoon-jung gave me 2 million won. She said, 'Seon-geun, when you go out, I know you might need this,' and gave me the money."
He added, "Life was unstable, so I did a part-time job packing books and also worked unloading at Coupang. The longest job I had was laundry, where I would hang it in front of the door and collect it at night. I earned 100,000 won a day. When I was doing delivery work in the early morning, there were customers who wouldn't give me the front door password and would write it down for the security office. Then the security guards would wake up in the early morning and curse loudly. After that, when I got home, I often cried in the car, thinking, 'I worked really hard, but did I not work hard enough? What did I do wrong?'
‘Sadangui’ can be seen every Sunday at 4:45 PM on KBS2.
