[Te Facts | [Reporter Jung Byeong-geun] Singer Han Kyung-il confesses that it was a slave contract with the company during his heyday.
Han Kyung-il appeared on MBN 'Special World', which was broadcast on the 8th, and looked back into the past while talking about the current situation of earning a living while singing at a live cafe. In particular, during the promotion of the hit song "Half of My Life" in 2003, he drew attention when he revealed his income was 0 won and that his sudden disappearance was at the behest of the company.
Han Kyung-il received a lot of love in the early and mid-2000s, but suddenly broke off the schedule and disappeared. Han Kyung-il recalls that time, "I was working hard on my 3rd album, but the company president gave me pocket money and told me to 'hide for about a week'.
He then confessed, "The people in charge of broadcasting called Han Kyung-il irresponsible. Since then, he has been unable to broadcast and has not held events from the outside. At that time, 2004 was the last year of his heyday."
Even in his prime, he didn't make any money. Han Kyung-il said, "I didn't have a dime of income. Even if I tried my best, I didn't have money. In those days, it was a slave contract. My eldest sister, who has been married many times, lives in the house, and mom, dad, and I also live on top of each other.”
Han Kyung-il, who said, "I've been wandering for a while," braced himself. Recently, he has been continuously releasing digital singles. He explained the reason, "If I don't release music as a digital single, I become nothing. After that, I disappear. The meaning of existence also disappears."
He said, "I don't need to be famous. But I hope I can continue to have a reason to be able to continue singing."
