Yoon Ha Jung from Single’s Inferno 3 has opened up about her massive earnings after appearing on the hit Netflix dating show.

On February 23, a video featuring Yoon Ha Jung was uploaded to Musinsa Magazine’s YouTube series Unofficial Trend.

The former office worker, who transitioned into a model and influencer, shared some surprising details about her income.

“I’m not bragging, but after Single’s Inferno, I hardly ever buy clothes with my own money,” she admitted. She explained that she receives plenty of sponsored outfits and simply posts them on social media.

Not just fashion brands—Yoon Ha Jung revealed that she’s also dominating the beauty industry! “I’ve done the most cosmetic ads,” she said, adding, “I consistently get about four to five advertisements per month. YouTube ads are separate.”

At one point, she even filmed up to 20 ads in a single month! “There were days when I had to shoot two or three ads in one day,” she recalled.

When asked how much her income has increased compared to her office job, Yoon Ha Jung shocked everyone by saying, “Tens of times more? Maybe 100 times more?”

However, with great income comes great taxes. “I pay more than 48% in comprehensive income tax,” she revealed.

According to the 2023 tax rates, anyone making over 1 billion KRW (about $750,000 USD) falls under a 45% tax rate—meaning Yoon Ha Jung’s earnings might be well over that mark!

Meanwhile, Yoon Ha Jung, born in 1998, is now 27 years old. She skyrocketed to fame after appearing on Single’s Inferno 3, which was released in December 2023.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
