Will Kim Wan-seon reveal his feelings on the unsettled 100 billion won ‘gold side’?

Attention is being paid to whether singer Kim Wan-seon will reveal his position on the settlement issue.

Singer Jeong Hoon-hee appeared on Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center', which aired on the night of the 3rd, and Kim Wan-seon's appearance in the next episode was announced at the end of the broadcast, and part of the broadcast was released.

On the broadcast, Kim Wan-seon's younger brother said to her, "I'm frustrated. I lack motivation." Kim Wan-seon then confessed, "I never said, 'Why don't you pay the bill?' I think I believed it. Still, we were family. I was just like a robot." Kim Wan-seon attracted even more attention because of his expressionless appearance. Oh Eun-young diagnosed Kim Wan-seon's condition, saying, "After hearing about it, he is in a state of emotional exhaustion. Finding his true self may be difficult at the moment."

Kim Wan-seon, who debuted in the entertainment industry in 1986 at the age of 17, worked with her aunt, Han Baek-hee, who was the manager of singer Insooni. Kim Wan-seon, who gained popularity immediately after her debut, earned the title 'Korea's Madonna' and released hit songs one after another. Kim Wan-seon maintained her top spot among female singers in 1990 and released hit songs such as ‘The Clown Laughs at Us’, ‘Dance in the Rhythm’, ‘Tonight’, and ‘Shall We Dance’.

It is said that Kim Wan-sun earned about 100 billion won at the time, but it is said that Kim Wan-sun did not receive any payment at all. According to Channel A's 'Happy Morning', it is known that Kim Wan-seon did not receive a single won in settlement for 13 years from his debut in 1986 until 1998. At the time, Kim Wan-seon, who earned an average of 1 billion won per month and more than 10 billion won per year, actually had no idea about the whereabouts of the proceeds. However, several reporters testified that the money was used to fund the business of Han's husband, who was also her manager and aunt.

But what's even more unfortunate is that the aunt who was responsible, Mr. Han, passed away. Kim Wan-seon left Han in 1998 and began a career in the entertainment industry, and Han passed away in 2006. Afterwards, Kim Wan-seon appeared on KBS 2TV's 'Win Victory' in April 2011 and confessed her feelings for Mr. Han. He said of Mr. Han, "He was a parent, teacher, and close friend who was with me through all the good and bad. I was hoping that the resentment and hatred would disappear quickly, but it seems like a lot of it has disappeared now." He also left a comment saying, “Aunt, there is no resentment or anger anymore, so rest in peace. Don’t be sorry.”

Recently, Kim Wan-seon's story also surfaced regarding the fact that singer Lee Seung-gi did not receive any settlement of music revenue worth about 9.6 billion won from his former agency, Hook Entertainment. Kim Wan-seon has not yet announced any special position regarding this. Attention is being paid to whether Kim Wan-seon will be able to hear Kim Wan-seon's position on the unsettled settlement in 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center', which will be broadcast on the 10th.
