"About three hundred million won, right?"
Using such a sum to customize a car, even someone like Kang Ho-dong, who now holds the title of National MC and commands a substantial appearance fee, would find it difficult. However, upon further reflection, everyone understood.
As the boss of JS Entertainment and an independent financial investor, for someone like Yoo Jae-suk, three hundred million won might be a significant amount for others, but for him, it might not be so much.
"Is that so~~! Then, Jae-suk, your brother is currently in your company, right? What kind of contract did you give him?" This question was entirely on a personal level and involved a certain degree of commercial confidentiality. If he hadn't already heard Kim Jong-min and Yoo Jae-suk talk about it, he wouldn't have asked Yoo Jae-suk.
After all, although there were fixed cameras filming and recording, Kang Ho-dong knew that due to Yoo Jae-suk's relationship with KBS and his status as a National MC, the production team would never broadcast such matters. But since it was said, many people would hear it, and it would depend on whether Yoo Jae-suk really didn't mind.
"No, when my brother first joined JS, I arranged a 4:6 profit-sharing contract for him, but he refused. Now, he works without taking any pay." Yoo Jae-suk smiled bitterly and said without any hesitation.
For such a question, some companies might be cautious for various reasons, but in the current environment, only the people present and the KBS 2 Days & 1 Night production team could hear what he said. Yoo Jae-suk didn't believe anyone would dare to cause trouble for him. Moreover, even if these people spread what he said, as long as he didn't openly admit it, it would just be a minor issue.
"Really?" No one who overheard this believed it, and Kang Ho-dong even exclaimed in surprise.
Not wanting such a good profit share, is Yoo Jae-suk crazy?
"Really!" Yoo Jae-suk, who was driving, nodded firmly, "Now, the money my brother spends is from his previous savings, but there's a reason for this. I once said that I would give him a big gift when he gets married. He felt guilty and insisted on not taking the profit share."
"A big gift?" Everyone was even more puzzled.
"Yes! A long time ago, I told my brother that when he gets married, I would hand over 50% of JS Entertainment's shares to his wife to manage. He felt that I was at a disadvantage and insisted on repaying me with his performance fees." Yoo Jae-suk pouted. If he hadn't guessed wrong, Yoo Jae-suk would marry Roh Jing-eun next year, and the dividends from just one year would be enough to match his income as a host for several years. Yoo Jae-suk's current approach was also a way to express his embarrassment.
Yoo Jae-suk showed a deep understanding of this.
"50% of JS Entertainment's shares, my goodness!" Kang Ho-dong remembered the grand opening of JS Entertainment, so he really didn't know what to say in response to Yoo Jae-suk's answer. In his heart, he genuinely admired and felt a bit of envy that Yoo Jae-suk had such a brother.
As for the others, the waves of emotion in their hearts were hard to suppress.
For a moment, everyone lost interest in the conversation.
Until they arrived at the destination, Yeongdong, Chungcheongbuk-do.
...
"Dear viewers, we have finally arrived at the famous grape-producing area of Yeongdong, Chungcheongbuk-do." On a rural cement road, as Kang Ho-dong introduced, the camera captured the scenery around the MCs.
"However, we gathered at 10:00 AM and set off, and it's already 3:00 PM. At the beginning, PD Lee Myung-han said the production team would prepare our meals. So, really! We eight people haven't even had a sip of water."
Hearing Kang Ho-dong's words, the remaining seven people nodded in agreement.
As Kang Ho-dong finished speaking, Yoo Jae-suk started shouting to PD Lee Myung-han behind the camera, "PD Lee Myung-han, we're all here now. What about the food you promised? We're all starving, and can't you see how Brother Ho-dong looks? I can assure you that if you don't give us food soon, you'll have to go to the insurance company to claim compensation for personal injury."
⊙﹏⊙b Sweat!
Hearing Yoo Jae-suk's words, PD Lee Myung-han really glanced at Kang Ho-dong. Seeing his eyes almost on fire, he felt a bit nervous.
So, he quickly said, "The food is actually already prepared, and we have desserts and fruits. It's absolutely abundant."
"Really!?" Everyone found it hard to believe. They had participated in many variety shows, and when the production team said they would provide meals, it was often just boxed meals, but more often, it was instant noodles.
Especially now, in Yeongdong, Chungcheongbuk-do.
Yoo Jae-suk looked around; there were only vast fields and hills and forests. Apart from a few buildings in the distance, there were no shops or anything.
This was the main reason they didn't believe the production team would prepare a 'big meal' for them.
PD Lee Myung-han was prepared for their disbelief. The saying goes, "Seeing is believing!"
"Yes! Let's show everyone what we've prepared."
As PD Lee Myung-han spoke, two staff members carried a long table from the car parked nearby and slowly walked to Yoo Jae-suk and the others.
"Wow~~! Really?" They opened their mouths in surprise, but their eyes were full of joy. Honestly, Kang Ho-dong never expected the production team to prepare so much.
Kimchi! Ramen! Pork belly! Onions! Tofu! And so on... When all these various ingredients were displayed in front of everyone, even Yoo Jae-suk, who wasn't too hungry, couldn't help but salivate under the influence and cheers of the group.
It really looks so delicious~~^_^
"PD? Is this really for us?" Yoo Jae-suk asked.
"Yes! Everyone can see, right? We have prepared an incredibly abundant selection of ingredients, but to get these ingredients, you need to play a game." PD Lee Myung-han nodded.
"Game? No problem! Quickly tell us what game it is; I'm starving." Kang Ho-dong was eager to try, not caring about the game. He just wanted to eat first.
