Hong In-gyu Clarifies Monthly Income Rumors at 'Dokbak Tour 3' Press Conference

Hong In-gyu has requested a correction regarding his monthly income.

On the 22nd, a press conference for Channel S, SK Broadband, AXN, and K-star's 'Dokbak Tour 3' was held. The event was attended by Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, Hong In-gyu, and MC Toby.

'Dokbak Tour' has garnered enthusiastic responses from viewers since its first season in September last year, thanks to its unique concept where participants pay for their travel expenses out of pocket. This success has led to the launch of its third season.

Hong In-gyu stated, "I recently mentioned on 'Radio Star' that I earn about 60 million KRW per month, which led to a big article. I also said that production costs are around 20 million KRW per month, but no correction article was published. Despite not having much income, the headline only mentioned the 60 million KRW monthly income, and it even spread to shorts and reels. Many juniors are getting married these days, and expectations have risen," he joked. Hong In-gyu added with a laugh, "Please publish a correction article."

Hong In-gyu also shared, "The expenses are high when we go on 'Dokbak Tour.' I appeared in the Europe edition, and the prices in Europe are not easy. I whined a lot in the Europe edition, but I hope viewers find it endearing."

'Dokbak Tour 3' will premiere on the 24th at 8:20 PM.
