On the 4th, a video titled ‘What is the price of an apartment owned by a celebrity who earns like a CEO in his 17th year since debut? | Samsung-dong Hillstate Edition’ was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Studio Daily Daily’.
MC Seo Eun-kwang visited Jo Kwon’s treasure trove located in Samseong-dong, Seoul. Upon Seo Eun-kwang’s visit, Jo Kwon said, “You suit each other well. You look like a young real estate agent who is doing well these days.”
Jo Kwon revealed that this is his fifth house he has moved into. The sale price of the apartment where Jo Kwon lives is reportedly 2.5 billion won (based on 84.5㎡), and the monthly rent is 5-6 million won. Jo Kwon, who revealed that it has been 16 years since his debut, was asked, “How do you feel when you see your juniors?” and he said, “I always think that this is just the beginning. The emotions I am feeling now are so new, and I am so happy. We are a generation that has already been through so I think this is just the beginning. If I were to go back, I don’t think I could. It was too hard.”
When asked, “Was it harder when you were a trainee or after you debuted?”, he answered, “It was harder when I was a trainee. I had nothing back then. There was nothing I could do, and if I earned money, I could buy delicious food and do whatever I wanted, but trainees don’t have money.”
The production team asked, “Doesn’t it take time for trainees to receive their pay? How do you live in the meantime?” Seo Eun-kwang answered, “I received 500,000 won a month in advance from the company for 3-4 years.”
Cho Kwon said, “I wasn’t there. I was so sad. My first settlement was exactly 210,000 won after deducting all the previous trainee fees. It was the first time in 3 years. I cried so much. I hugged my mom and cried.”
He then recalled, “I took that money and went to the phone company next to Rodeo Bakery to pay my cell phone bill. I still remember it clearly. It was the first time I paid for something my mom had given me with money I had earned. I thought, ‘It can’t possibly be 200,000 won. It has to be 2 million won. ‘”
When asked, “Are you having a hard time right now?” Jo Kwon said, “The most recent thing that was hard was the musical ‘Evil Dead’. It was so hard. When I did it 7 years ago, I was in my 20s, and now I’m in my mid-30s, so I’m making zombie sounds and my voice is hoarse.”
