• Actor Kim Soo Hyun Revealed To Earn 50 Billion Won Yearly From Advertising Alone

    Actor Kim Soo Hyun, who turned 35 this year, has revealed the enormous amount of money he earned from advertising.

    In the iHQ entertainment program 'Secret Newsroom', which was broadcast on January 8th, Kim Soo Hyun, who debuted in 2007, dealt with how much wealth he accumulated by making various works.

    After appearing in the 2012 MBC drama 'The Moon Embracing the Sun', Kim Soo Hyun made 17 commercials and earned 8 billion won.

    After SBS 'My Love from the Star' filmed in 2013, he earned 20 billion won while filming numerous commercials in China and was called '20 Billion Man'.

    Kim Soo Hyun, who recently appeared in Coupang Play's original drama 'One Day', is said to have received 500 million won per episode.

    Although the cost of the appearance is the sum of the PPL and overseas publishing rights, considering that the production cost of 'One Day' is 1.25 billion won per episode, his appearance fee occupies a significant portion of the production cost.

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
