In response, when Kim Hak-rae asked "Isn't the broadcaster you used to work with not being able to go out for two years?" Kim Jae-won asked "3 years." You have to watch the match with Channel A,' he said, smiling.

He also expressed his realistic concerns about negotiating performance fees. He said "It wasn't easy. Since I don't have an agency, I have to talk about my value, but that's really hard."

"I want to give you a high score that is satisfied with my current situation. I'm happy at this point,' he said in a positive attitude.

Then when Kim Hak-rae asked "Isn't it cold outside even if you feel comfortable?" Kim Jae-won answered "Actually yes".
