K.Will hit the jackpot with stocks

K.Will revealed the story of why girl group IBRO's stock hit the jackpot.

K. Will, Ji-hye Lee, Solbi, Seok-hoon Lee, and Jun-hyun Kim appeared on the SBS entertainment show 'Strong Heart VS', which aired on the 12th, as a special feature called 'Candy for My Ears'.

On this day, Jeon Hyun-moo introduced K. Will, saying, "He is not an ordinary singer. He is the director of Starship Entertainment, the agency of girl group Ive."

In response, K.Will said that he was not an actual director and said, "I have never moved the company. I have been there for a long time. Including the company's predecessor, I have been there for almost 20 years. I feel like I am treated like that because I have been there for a long time. In the end, I am an old man in the backroom. I guess he is a spiritual leader." said.

When asked if he had a stake, K.Will hesitated and then said, "I made money and received payment from the company. I reinvested this in the company." When asked if the time to purchase stocks was before Ive's debut, K.Will responded, "That's right," drawing admiration.

Also, when Jeon Hyun-moo said, "Ive is probably more important than your own music scores," K. Will joked, "What's important to me?"

Have you ever had a heart attack while working in the entertainment industry? In response, K.Will said, “There was a time when I was shaken. I participated in the 'Starting Dream Team' once, and it was a mission at an elementary school. The elementary school students really liked it, and one friend brought out a cute friend with red cheeks. They said he was a trainee somewhere. “I came out very shy and was embarrassed,” he recalled.

K.Will then said, “Me and Seo In-guk went out together. The MC asked me to do aegyo, but it was about age. But the children’s mood became strange. The girl who said she liked me cried. “Why are you so old?” he said, making people laugh.

The identity of the little girl who cried was also revealed. K.Will said, “As time passed, I went to the ‘Descendants of the Sun’ wrap-up party. A tall white man came over and showed me a picture of me and the crying child. “The white person was Jeon Somi’s father, Matthew,” he said, revealing that the girl at the time was 13-year-old Jeon Somi.

K.Will said, “I also saw Somi later. “I asked him if he remembered me and why he did that, and he said he was too young back then.”
