Ji Seok-jin said, "I remember numbers wellHe said that his colleagues at the time envied Yoo Jae-seok's first advertisement.
Yoo Jae-seok said, "I thought you would become a star after shooting that commercial..," he said, recalling his difficult life in the entertainment industry.
Yoo Jae-seok filmed his first beer commercial as a behind-the-scenes story. The director said it doesn't matter because I can't drink beer. But after drinking two glasses, my face turned red. An Australian bartender gave me a non-alcoholic beer and drank it. Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble,' he recalled.
When Yang Se-chan asked "What was the level at the time if it was 5 million won?" Ji Seok-jin said "At that time, the fee was 150,000 to 200,000 won.", he explained. Yoo Jae-seok was 110,000 won```````.

Lee Kwang-soo "There was no profit at the time. I wrote the wrong contract. I really didn't know " and just signed it because they told me to sign it. I wanted to look good. If I don't do it right now, I'll look wrong (I did)," he recalled when he was a rookie.
Yoo Jae-seok "It's because I've never written a contract. That's often the case. At that time, there was no YouTube like now, he said.
However, Ji Seok-jin said "The company may be right. You may not have anything to take with you then," and Lee Kwang-soo said "What's wrong with him. Why are you making me so sad. Are you touching my painful wound. I had a hard time talking about it, but can't you sympathize with me?" he said, smiling angrily.
Nevertheless, Ji Seok-jin said "Isn't there something you ate and something you moved?" If you exclude the company's position.." made his point firmly, and Lee Kwang-soo firmly drew the line "No".
Lee Kwang-soo was then signed until "High Kick". There was no profit until then" he vented.
Lee Kwang-soo said, "I went to the store without a stylist and received the clothes, saying, 'I'm going on a show like this. Can you do it for me?'"I was surprised when I said "There was no manager, so I took the bus."
Ji Seok-jin was angry with "What was the company doing?" and Yoo Jae-seok was frustrated with "Why were you at the agency?"
Lee Kwang-soo said, `I didn't know then. I had never even auditioned. The audition was 'high-kick' one,' he added.
Ji Seok-jin said, `Then you passed the audition for 'High Kick', so you got clothes, took the bus, and went to the company for the appearance fee. It doesn't make sense, and Yoo Jae-seok was also upset, saying, `Don't you think you should come out of the PD notebook?'
Lee Kwang-soo said that he has been in a relationship with his agency for 16 years now, saying, `It's a story that has passed now.'
