Kim Byung-chan, an announcer-turned-TV broadcaster, told the story of the severe economic crisis due to fraud damage and business failure worth tens of billions of won in the past.

Kim Byung-chan, who appeared on the YouTube channel 'Clémuk Time' on the 25th, confessed the hardships he once experienced by investing in the acquisition project of the express terminal.

He said he joined the project to acquire Cheongju Express Terminal at the suggestion of his seniors in high school and college.




"Since I was a KBS announcer and had enough money, I trusted him and lent him hundreds of millions of won."Kim Byung-chan, who revealed, explained that the business funds began to flow to the wrong place and fell into a crisis.

"I became increasingly bogged down, and I ended up selling my house and putting it into the business," he said. "Bank loans alone amounted to more than 40 billion won." He even served as CEO himself."

Fortunately, Jang Deok-soo, chairman of the Cheongju Woomin Foundation, was able to get out of the crisis by taking over the project, and the project was recently approved for completion as a modernization project worth 700 billion won.




However, Kim Byung-chan "Many people ask if you have recovered your investment, but you have actually given up. I'm just grateful to have taken over a company whose capital has eroded.'

Meanwhile, Kim Byung-chan started broadcasting as the 17th announcer of KBS' open recruitment in 1990 and hosted various broadcast programs such as 'Gayo Top Ten' and 'Entertainment Broadcasting' before turning to freelancer in 2007.
