Kim Dae-ho, salary revealed for the first time

Announcer Dae-ho Kim revealed his annual salary.

On the 29th, a video titled '[Announcer Derby] Reunion 13 years after 《New Employee》' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Studio Waffle'.

In the video that day, JTBC announcer Kang Ji-young and MBC announcer Kim Dae-ho appeared and talked. He and MC Jang Seong-gyu formed a relationship by participating together in MBC's 50th anniversary special project 'Announcer Open Recruitment - New Employee' in 2011.

Regarding his salary, Dae-ho Kim said, “In fact, announcers are paid on a salary scale. “The annual salary of a deputy general manager with 14 years of experience is around 100 million won?” Kang Ji-young retorted, "Aren't announcers getting intangible value in addition to their salary? How do you measure that?" Jang Seong-gyu joked, "I think you're surprised by 100 million won."

Kim Dae-ho then showed a tense attitude, saying, "We have to calculate it. I'm an office worker, but someone dug up dirt," and in the end, Kang Ji-young admitted, "MBC just gets more." Kim Dae-ho then added, “These days, prices have risen a lot, so there is a bit of a shortage.”

In response, Kang Ji-young immediately refuted, "Many people are watching right now, but isn't it too much to say that 100 million is not enough? I broadcast only for you. I don't need a salary in the hundreds of millions," and Kim Dae-ho said, "I am a little short because I overspend. I overspend." “I do it a lot,” he joked.
