Wang Jong-geun appeared as a mentor for junior announcer Hong Ju-yeon in KBS2 entertainment program 「The boss's ears are donkey ears」, which aired on the 20th.
Wang Jong-geun, a 48-year-old broadcaster, drew attention on the show by speaking frankly from his life as an announcer to his investment failures after retirement.
Wang Jong-geun said, `When I pre-declared, advertisements flooded in, so I thought I would sit on the money cushion. "I told my wife and gladly allowed her to do so," he said, adding that he decided to retire.
The severance pay he received at the time was 200 million won, but he said "I dabbled in various investments such as making oil, growing mushrooms, golfing tours, and non-fermenting businesses, and eventually lost all my assets."
Wang Jong-geun shook his head, saying, `I sent the money because it was so cold at the time, but he didn't even give me the stock, it was just a scam.' The title of the article then says, "'Wang Jong-geun's 1 billion fraud'", and someone will think I'm a fraud," he added, with a bitter smile.
On the same day, Wang Jong-geun also revealed his relationship with Jeon Hyun-moo.
Wang Jong-geun was broadcasting on KBS in Daegu and saw Jeon Hyun-moo at that time. But there's something the announcer can't escape from, but it exceeded that category. So when we meet again in Seoul, I told Jeon Hyun-moo 'You should broadcast entertainment shows no matter what. That's the quickest way to entertainment.'" he said.
Jeon Hyun-moo also said, "There were a lot of entertainment shows at that time, but after hearing Wang Jong-geun's words, he chose to broadcast 'entertainers' unconditionally."It surprised everyone by saying ."
Wang Jong-geun tells Hong Ju-yeon that it is good to know many Chinese characters to be good at "Genuine Luxury". It's helpful to grow an eye to see. Wouldn't it be the same level as the show appraisal team. I went to Insa-dong a lot. If you go to former member Lee Sang Moon, he'll do a good job" he advised.
