Jeong Sang-hoon explains ‘SNL Korea’ casting expenses of 100 million per episode

While Jeong Sang-hoon explained the 'SNL Korea' hosting fee, he made people laugh by joking that Kang Ho-dong's 'Knowing Bros' fee was 400 million won.

SNL crew Jeong Sang-hoon, Kim Min-kyo, Jeong I-rang, Kwon Hyuk-soo, Lee Su-ji, Joo Hyun-young, and Kim A-young appeared in the 373rd episode of JTBC's entertainment show 'Knowing Bros' (hereinafter referred to as 'Bro'), which aired on the 4th.

On this day, Jeong Sang-hoon said, "If you look at SNL, there are a lot of great hosts. Shin Dong-yeop's personality makes him easy to cast, and is he paid a lot of money?" to the question, "There is a rumor. 'They paid a lot of casting fee.' That is a false rumor. “He explained.

Regarding the rumor that the appearance fee was 100 million won per episode, Jeong Sang-hoon said, "I don't pay as much as it says in the article." Min-kyo Kim said, “When the crew meets a new person outside, they make every effort to flirt with the host.”

The secret to recruiting actor Jo Jung-seok was also revealed. Jeong Sang-hoon explained that he put pressure on Jo Jung-seok, saying, "I'm close to Jo Jung-seok. 'What kind of person should come out? Who do you want to come out? What do you think? I want someone really good to come out later, but who will it be?'"

Jeong Sang-hoon chose Joo Hyun-young as the number one person on ‘SNL Korea.’ Lee Soo-ji also added, "If we talk about 'younger brothers,' Joo Hyun-young should sit in Kang Ho-dong's place. Times have changed."

Also, the SNL crew asked Kang Ho-dong, “How are you going to appear on SNL?” In response, the older brothers joked, "Kang Ho-dong doesn't chase his dreams. The fee for appearing on 'My Little Brother' is 400 million won per episode. If you get the right amount, he'll go anywhere."

When Kwon Hyuk-su asked, “Is Ho-dong only after money?” Kang Ho-dong admitted, “It’s been quite a while,” making everyone laugh.

Joo Hyun-young told a beautiful story about Kang Ho-dong. He said, “I saw Kang Ho-dong for the first time at the Blue Dragon Series Awards last year, and at that time, Kang Ho-dong said to me on my way home after the awards ceremony, ‘Hyunyoung, you are doing well.’ “When I appeared on ‘Just Come Out,’ he sent me a long text after the broadcast,” he said.

In response, the brothers declared to stop recording, saying, “I’m not recording.” Seo Jang-hoon was angry and said, “Kang Ho-dong is the person who sends two waves and an emoticon even when we text him greetings on holidays,” and Kwon Hyuk-soo said, “Kang Ho-dong is also a popular person, so there’s nothing we can do about it,” causing laughter.
