K-pop singer Park Seo-jin opens up about his event fees.
In the 19th episode of 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3' (a joint production by MBN, Channel S, and SK Broadband), Jeon Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), and Park Seo-jin engage in an honest life talk at a famous dumpling hot pot and seafood pancake restaurant in Pocheon.
The trio heads to one of the 'Top 5 Dumpling Hot Pot Spots in the Metropolitan Area' in Pocheon. Upon entering the restaurant, a fan requests Park Seo-jin's autograph. When asked why they like Park Seo-jin, the fan enthusiastically responds, "I absolutely love him. He's so lovely and a filial son!" Kwak Tube jokingly asks if there are more papers for autographs, but the fan coolly exits with only Park Seo-jin's autograph, saying, "My friends are waiting."
Amid laughter, the table is filled with dumpling hot pot, featuring 3,500 handmade dumplings daily, and a thick seafood pancake. The three enjoy their meal while chatting. Jeon Hyun-moo asks 'The God of Janggu' Park Seo-jin about his event fees, to which Park Seo-jin candidly replies, "I sometimes do 5 to 6 events a day. I've even taken a helicopter due to my busy schedule. I earn 200 times more than when I was unknown, but I lower my rates during the off-season."
Park Seo-jin impresses with his 'filial flex,' revealing that he built a house in Samcheonpo and bought a boat worth 50 million won for his parents. He shares his challenging family history, saying, "My mother was diagnosed with cancer, so I dropped out of high school and worked on a boat with my father before debuting as a singer."
Previously, Park Seo-jin admitted to spending over 100 million won on plastic surgery, saying, "I felt guilty denying past photos."
