Former professional soccer player and broadcaster Ahn Jung-hwan revealed his salary during his active years.

On the 13th, a video titled ‘Ahn Jung-hwan made 15 billion times as a soccer player?!’ was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Moongchin TV’.

In the video that day, Jung Hyung-don said, “There are many singers who are celebrating their 20th debut anniversary this year,” and mentioned TVXQ, Lee Seung-gi, Dynamic Duo, Younha, etc., and added, “A lot of masterpieces are expected to be released in 2024.”

When Kang Yu-mi, Ahn Young-mi, Ahn Sang-tae, and Jang Dong-min were selected as the 19th batch of KBS publicly recruited comedians celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, Kim Yong-man said, “We debuted as the 7th batch of publicly recruited KBS comedians, and we recently passed our 30th anniversary. “It’s our 32nd anniversary this year,” he said, adding, “I’m going to keep doing this until 50 years,” making people laugh.

Jung Hyung-don, who heard this, said, “When I was a rookie, senior Kim Yong-man was like senior Shim Hyeong-rae at the time.” Kim Yong-man said, “When I was a rookie, wasn’t it teacher Gu Bong-seo and Nam-cheol and Nam Seong-nam?” and “It felt like I was welcoming the gods back then. “It felt like a dream and I was happy that I was there,” he recalled.

In addition, Kim Yong-man said, “Due to the nature of their profession, comedians do a lot of entertainment programs, but soccer players do things like retire,” and Jeong Hyeong-don also added, “It is not easy for soccer players to stay active for 20 years.” When asked that the counting was also ambiguous, Ahn Jung-hwan said, “I calculate it like this: 10 years of professional life and 15 years of professional life.”

Kim Yong-man then wondered, “Is Lee Dong-gook the one who has been a pro the longest (22 years)?” Kim Nam-il said, “It’s (Kim) Byeong-ji. “He is not on the field, but he played 706 games over 26 years,” he said, drawing attention.

When asked regarding retiring as a player, Ahn Jung-hwan replied, “My body tells me to stop.” Then Kim Yong-man suddenly asked Ahn Jung-hwan, “How much is your annual salary?”

Ahn Jung-hwan said, “If I earned 1 billion won a year, wouldn’t it be 15 billion won?” and “That doesn’t mean I earned everything. “At first, I earned 980,000 won per month,” he confessed.

Kim Nam-il said, “I don’t know when the annual salary exceeded 100 million won, but before that, an annual salary of 60 to 70 million won was a lot of money. “But following the 2002 World Cup, salaries in the hundreds of millions of dollars started to come in,” he said. Ahn Jung-hwan, who heard this, said, “No. I was worth hundreds of millions of dollars before that. His annual salary was in the hundreds of millions since he was in Busan. “So it was even in the newspaper,” he boasted. At the time, it was reported that Ahn Jung-hwan received an annual salary of regarding 265 million won.

Then Kim Nam-il said, “The annual salary will not be in the hundreds of millions. He said, “Even options other than salary are converted into options.” He continued, “(Football players) all carried cash at the time.” Ahn Jung-hwan said, “All soccer players carried a squad bag. When he said, “It’s because I had to put cash in there,” and “If you look for the information, it will be there,” the MCs said, “I thought he was carrying shoes,” and were surprised at the secret of the bag that the soccer player was carrying.
