Former Click-B Member Kim Sang-hyuk Reveals Life as a '5-Jobber'

Former Click-B member Kim Sang-hyuk recently shared updates on his life as a '5-jobber'.

On October 10, the YouTube channel 'Manri Jang Seong-gyu' released a video titled '[Emergency Press Conference] Click-B Kim Sang-hyuk's Latest Update'.

In the video, Kim Sang-hyuk revealed that he is currently juggling five different jobs: running a restaurant, a clothing business, a patch supplement business, bag design, and personal broadcasting on TikTok. When asked by Jang Seong-gyu about his highest earnings, Kim replied, "When business is good, I can earn several thousand dollars."

When asked if he misses his financial peak, Kim admitted, "I do miss my heyday," adding humorously, "My peak was until the day before my DUI incident."

Kim also opened up about a past scam incident, revealing, "My mother tried to build a motel using our house as collateral but was scammed. We lost two apartments and an officetel, including a Rose Apartment right in front of the Han River in Songpa-gu." Jang Seong-gyu noted that the current market value of the apartment is around 3.5 billion won, more than five times its previous value, to which Kim responded with a bittersweet smile, "If it gets redeveloped, then..."

After a DUI incident in 2005, Kim was effectively ousted from the broadcasting industry. Regarding his appearance on a 'Conscience Refrigerator' themed content, he said, "As someone who once sold his conscience, I'm not sure if I should be here," adding, "I came with a repentant heart," which drew laughter.

When Jang Seong-gyu brought up Kim's past explanation, Kim humorously retorted, "Don't make me say 'I drank but didn't drive' again," causing laughter on set.

During the talk, Kim also confessed about dating during his idol days. He shared, "When secretly dating, we would hold hands behind the scenes during the same schedule. Holding hands was something only the two of us knew," adding, "Back then, there were no DMs or messages, so we would hide letters in the broadcasting station booth."

Meanwhile, Kim's ex-wife Song Da-ye expressed her frustration on October 9, stating, "Every time my ex-husband appears on TV, unwanted articles about our divorce come out, and I have to go through this every few years. I've requested through broadcasts and interviews not to mention the divorce or me, but the same thing keeps happening." Following this, the preview video of Kim's YouTube appearance was deleted. Kim and Song Da-ye married in 2019 but divorced after about a year.
