On the 4th, the YouTube channel "Studio Mainichi Mainichi" asked, "How much do apartments cost for celebrities who are making CEO-level income in their 17th year since debut?"
In this video, Seo Eun-kwang of the group BTOB is the MC every day and is visiting Gangnam, Seoul.
They visited the Jo Kwon family home in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu and had a conversation. When Eung-gwang asked to see the house, Jo Kwon said, "It's just a normal house with three rooms and two bathrooms." It's a 33-pyeong high-rise house.
The apartment where Jo Kwon lives is very close to the station, just a 3-minute walk from Samsung Central Station. The purchase price was 2.5 billion won (approximately 290 million yen), and the monthly rent is 5
When asked what he thinks when he sees his juniors, Jo Kwon, who debuted 16 years ago, said, "Oh, they're finally starting.
I want to say, "I think I can't go back if I'm asked to. It was very difficult." Seo Eun-kwang said, "Was it difficult when you were a trainee or after you debuted?
When asked, "Was it difficult from the time you were a trainee?" Jo Kwon replied, "It was even harder when I was a trainee. I didn't have anything of my own at the time, so there was nothing I could do. It was fun to earn money.
"You can buy things, eat, and do what you want, but trainees don't have money," he replied. The staff member replied, "It will take some time until your bill is settled. How will you survive in the meantime?
When asked, "Why?" Seo Eun-kwang replied, "The company paid me 500,000 won (approximately 57,000 yen) a month in advance for three to four years."
Jo Kwon said, "I didn't have any. I was very sad when I got my first payment. Because my first payment was the first in three years, excluding all the expenses from my trainee days.
The payment was exactly 210,000 won (24,000 yen). I cried a lot. I hugged my mother and cried," he recalled.
He continued, "Take that money and go to the telecommunications company next to the bakery in Rodeo.
I went and paid my cell phone bill. I remember it clearly. I paid the bill with the first money I had earned that my mother had given me. "Surely it's only 200,000 won? 2 million won (230,000 yen)?
"I thought it would be around 10,000 yen," he recalled.
