SBS 'My Ugly Baby' aired on the 30th featured singer Hwang Ga-ram, the main character of 'I'm a Firefly'.
On this day, Hwang Garam revealed his salty daily life of washing his face in a narrow sink and mixing lotion with water. Shin Dong-yeop said, "Jong-guk will be surprised, too." he expressed his surprise.
In addition, Hwang Garam nagged his student and roommate, who has been living together for 10 years, from the morning, saying that he wanted to save on gas and living expenses. Especially when shopping for daily necessities, "Honestly, I wash with water after looking at big things" ", "You don't need body wash just by wiping off the main parts.", showing the extremely strong appearance of a salty character.
Hwang Ga-ram, who has no choice but to save his life because of the debt he has accumulated over his long life of obscurity, said "I'm sorry. I have to pay all of them, but I have too much debt," he said, expressing his displeasure. Even though the song "I'm a Firefly" is ranked No. 1 on the music charts every day, he said that his income is still 0 won. "The profit doesn't matter much to me. Singing performers get 6 percent, but 20 performers split it up"The money has never come in because it hasn't been settled yet. That's why I have to go to a part-time job again today."
Hwang Garam, who works part-time at an acquaintance's cafe to cover living expenses, used to make coffee and clean and serve the cafe. Even though he was busy, he also provided a surprise fan service to sing for customers who recognized him.

In response, Hwang Garam "Actually started homelessness to save money. At first, I slept in a jjimjilbang, but the price was too high. So the wind came out warm on the roof of the jjimjilbang, so I went to the rooftop and slept." He could have continued to stay in a church or something, but he noticed. I washed in the sink of the public bathroom after staying like that. It was 1,000 won for a roll of gimbap, so you have to eat a roll of gimbap"Now I'm in my 70s, but I weighed 49 kilograms when I was homeless. However, it was more difficult to be cold and not to wash up than not to be able to eat," he said, causing regret.
In addition, Hwang Garam recalled his days of obscurity and asked why he didn't go on TV and challenge himself when everyone around me was a singer for 20 years. So I decided to really challenge myself and appeared on an audition program for the first time two years ago, and my mom was going to have lung cancer surgery. At that time, I thought my mom would go wrong, so I thought I should have tried it faster for a year. I think I cried a lot then." When she heard this, she said, "I was sorry that I kept getting sick", he confessed that he was worried that he would become an obstacle to his son's path.
On the other hand, her mother recalled the time when Hwang Garam became a Pinocchio vocalist through a 300:1 competition ratio. My mother said "Since Pinocchio is famous, I thought that our Garam is now successful as a singer. I bragged a lot because I thought it was all up."
Hwang Garam even bragged about it the most, and people around him even said it was enough. But COVID-19 broke out, so I thought "Should I go home for the first time then?" I wondered if all the world and situations were signaling me not to sing. It was so hard, and the moment I was about to quit, I passed by like a beacon light. He confessed that he was deeply troubled.
Upon hearing this, the mother struggled. Our son" wept. I was also sad to see my son say in an interview on the live news, "'I'm one of the real bugs.'"But since I'm a mother, I wanted to say that Garam is not a bug but a shining star." Thank you for coming through so well, thank you very much."
