Announcer Kim Dae-ho revealed that he had rejected all advertisement offers and spoke about his thoughts on the Free Declaration.
In the 847th episode of MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' (hereinafter referred to as 'Las'), which aired on the 27th, Kwon Il-yong, Kim Dae-ho, Joo Hyun-young, and Kwak Tube appeared as guests as a special feature on the '2023 Laser Awards'.
On this day, Dae-ho Kim received the ‘Producer Achievement Award’ at the ‘2023 LAS Awards’. As an MBC announcer, his appearance fee is only 48,000 won. Dae-ho Kim said, "I appeared three times in total, twice as a guest and once as a special MC. Although the appearance fee is 48,000 won, I will receive it gratefully as I feel like I have contributed greatly to the development of the company."
At the same time, he also talked about the appearance fee issue, which became a hot topic earlier. Kim Dae-ho said, "I deliberately mentioned the appearance fee issue. I thought the company would say something about it, but they actually paid attention. They gave me encouragement money and paid the venue rental fee when I opened my house to the public. Thanks to that, I bought a house and paid for it." "I'm paying off my debt. I also had a surplus, so I replaced it so I could watch the TV at my parents' house bigger."
Dae-ho Kim will appear in 7 broadcasts on MBC until next year and is also attending various events and production presentations.
In addition, Kim Dae-ho, who recently visited CJ ENM headquarters for a broadcast, boasted, "I receive all the money for external activities after reporting them to the company."
However, because he was an announcer, he could not film commercial advertisements. Kim Dae-ho expressed regret, saying, “I have received about 15 advertising proposals since the beginning of the year.” He said, "It was a big amount of money," and mentioned things like ramen and a car. "There were definitely amounts that I hadn't seen before. But I thought it wasn't mine, so I flatly refused."
When asked about his honest thoughts on free declaration, Kim Dae-ho said, "I hear it a lot during my work life, but I tell you how I feel that day. On the day of the interview, if two advertisements fail, I say, 'I want to declare free' and 'I can do it.' But I have a schedule. Looking at the table, some months are busy and some months are leisurely. I thought I would be anxious if there was no broadcast when I went out. When I was interviewed at such times, I said, 'I will still work hard at MBC.'"
Dae-ho Kim also revealed his desire for the Rookie of the Year award. Kim Dae-ho, who is a rival to Dex, emphasized, "Actually, I don't want a joint award. I heard Dex is a person with a strong desire to compete. We have to compete."
