Hong Jin-kyung, with accumulated sales of 310 billion won, “there is nothing left”

Model-turned-broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung, who is known to have achieved cumulative kimchi business sales of 310 billion won and annual sales of 18 billion won, revealed that broadcasting profits are better than business profits.

On KBS Cool FM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show' (hereinafter referred to as 'Radio Show'), which aired on the 5th, Hong Jin-kyung appeared as a guest and hosted the 'Legendary Master' corner.

On this day, Hong Jin-kyung repeatedly explained about the success of the kimchi and dumpling business, "Just because sales are large does not mean there is a large margin. If half is taken from home shopping and the cost of raw materials, employee salaries, and rent are deducted, there is not much left."

He then expressed his resentment, saying, "I cry a lot when I find out the inside story of the business. Even though the sales volume of the business is large, there is so much that goes out that there is nothing left. Broadcasting profits are better. Broadcasting is my body, so there is nothing left to do."

He also talked about Jo Se-ho, who is about to get married. When Hong Jin-kyung heard that Jo Se-ho raised him on his back while going to see his (newlywed) house these days, she said, "We ate and played together, but I didn't raise him. I'm thankful that they played with their older sister."

When asked if there was an event prepared for Jo Se-ho's wedding, Hong Jin-kyung said, "I haven't received any requests yet," and was surprised, "I was surprised by Jo Se-ho's connections. BTS was drinking at Se-ho's house."
