Hwang Yun-seong said that the settlement amount was 0 won until the 8th year of his debut. In the past, when I was active as an idol, there was no settlement money to cover production costs. Hwang Yun-seong did not even know the concept of taxes, and Lee Chan-won helped him create his first bankbook and card. It is said that the tax paid recently was about 15 million won. Since he had never received a settlement before, he had little experience in economic activities. Hwang Yun-seong confessed, “I didn’t even know the concept of having to file a tax return.”

Hwang Yun-seong announced that he received 2 million won in settlement for the first time in March 2022 after signing with the agency where Lee Chan-won is located. It is said that he enlisted shortly after the first settlement, was discharged last March, and began working again in earnest. Regarding the reason why he owed 15 million won in taxes, Hwang Yun-seong said, "I handed it over (without knowing) because I was in the military, but I got hit by a bomb as soon as I was discharged. What's unfortunate is that I had savings while I was in the military. I saved it without spending it and saved up almost 13 million won. With taxes. “I had to pay everything,” he said. An additional tax is added to the comprehensive income tax generated from income before enlistment.

Hwang Yun-seong headed to Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, his hometown. Hwang Yun-seong spent quality time with his father. In the past, his father stopped Hwang Yun-seong from wanting to become a singer. The father said, "(At first) I was very opposed. It's the same for any parent. A career as a singer may or may not be popular. I hope it works out well, but it doesn't work out. It's really hard. When you see that, the parents “It was heartbreaking from my perspective,” he said. However, seeing his son achieve his dream, he said, "I am proud now. Three letters from my name disappeared and I became Yunseong's father. I am so glad that people recognize Yunseong."

Hwang Yun-seong said the reason he worked hard to save money was for his father, who silently supported and supported him when he was unknown. For his father, who likes to farm and share crops with his family, Hwang Yun-seong said, “My goal in saving money is because I want to buy land for my father.” Hwang Yun-seong said in an interview, "Seeing my father being happy (while giving), I also had a goal of buying a larger piece of land for my father, who wants to become more successful as soon as possible and continue farming." Hwang Yun-seong wiped away tears while watching the interview video. Lee Chan-won also shed tears, saying, “I have a great desire to do something for my family.”

Hwang Yun-seong said, "I felt very sorry because I couldn't make money even after working for 8 years. Even if I pursue my dream, realistically, I have to earn money and give pocket money to my parents, but I'm thankful that they support me instead of doing the opposite. They support me more than me." “I want to give to my family first,” he said. Chan-won Lee said he borrowed 2 million won from his mother to participate in the 'Mr. Trot' contest, and shed tears as he recalled the difficult times like Hwang Yun-seong.
