K-Pop Star Park Seo-jin Reveals 200-Fold Increase in Performance Fees and Cosmetic Surgery Costs

K-pop singer Park Seo-jin candidly revealed that his performance fees have skyrocketed by 200 times compared to his early days, along with the costs of his cosmetic surgeries.

On the October 20th episode of MBN's 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3', Park Seo-jin joined Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube on a culinary trip to Pocheon.

During the show, Park Seo-jin, known as the 'Performance King' of the trot music scene, surprised everyone with his straightforward and honest talk.

The most talked-about topic was undoubtedly his performance fees. Park Seo-jin stated, "My performance fees have increased by about 200 times compared to when I was unknown," adding, "Sometimes I perform at five to six events a day. I've even taken a helicopter from Gangwon-do to Gimcheon."

Behind his success was bold investment. Park Seo-jin revealed, "I've spent over 100 million won on cosmetic surgeries. I've had eye surgery three times, and nose surgery costs around 4 to 5 million won."

He coolly admitted to the surgeries, saying, "There was a time when my past photos were displayed on a large LED screen, and they looked so different that it would be a lie to say I hadn't had any work done."

Regarding his performance fees, he explained, "When I was unknown, I used to sing for just 100,000 to 200,000 won, just enough to cover travel expenses. Now, it's about 200 times that amount," estimating it to be around 40 million won. He added, "I built a house for my parents in Samcheonpo and even bought them a boat. My father used to rent a boat, but owning one was his dream, so I bought it for him." He noted, "The boat was bought second-hand at the price of a mid-sized car."

Meanwhile, Park Seo-jin previously made headlines by revealing a three-story house he built for his parents on the show 'Mr. House Husband'.
