Taesaja Kim Hyung-joon "Suffered from business failure, fraud, and panic disorder"
On the 22nd, a video containing an interview with Kim Hyung-joon was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'All About Job'.
In the released video, Kim Hyung-joon started a busy day by working as a courier from early in the morning. He said, "The place I'm going to is finished quickly because there are many villas and officetels. In apartments, the elevator takes up time. A day like this will be over in about an hour and 15 minutes."
It was to deliver about 50 parcels at 850 won each. The allowance that day was about 40,000 won. Kim Hyung-joon was a member of Taesaja in the past, and was a singer who had great popularity, recording 250,000 album sales during his first album activity.
Kim Hyung-joon recalled the time when he was active as Taesa, "I think I earned 50 million won for 4-5 years. At that time, most of the agencies were bullies. It was a time when there was no standard contract. There was no talk about financial distribution in the contract. I was young and didn't know that. I had only thoughts like 'I want to become a singer', so I just accepted the contract."
He continued, "It would have been better if I had gone bankrupt without anyone knowing. It was sad that I had no money even though I sold my face clumsily. It was ambiguous to go anywhere."
After working as a singer, she did various businesses such as women's clothing shopping malls, but it didn't work out, so she eventually started a part-time delivery service.
He said, "My parents liked doing this job. It was because I had lived a life of impoverishment before that. In the early and mid-2010s, social phobia came and I did not leave the house and stayed at home for a month. I only did the Internet, looked at my cell phone, and called people. I didn't even receive it. I felt brighter when I delivered, and other people felt the same way."
Kim Hyung-joon, who suffered from panic disorder and social phobia after a business failure. He said, “I was scammed by an acquaintance of 80 million won, which I prepared by subtracting the deposit money while doing business. I feel embarrassed, but there is nothing I am good at. In fact, among idols who do well, I don’t have to worry, but if it doesn’t go well, it’s hard to do something new.”
