Actor Jang Geun-seok revealed an anecdote about his strenuous efforts to obtain a black card.
On the 5th, Jang Geun-seok, a veteran actor with 34 years in the industry, appeared as a guest on the KBS 2TV variety program 'Problem Children of the Attic'.
That day, Jang Geun-seok said, "I was successfully active in Japan and even performed at Tokyo Dome, so I thought someone like me should be able to have a black card. I called the card company directly. I wanted to brag to my friends," eliciting laughter from the audience.

He added, "I received a call saying this time it wouldn't work out. It felt like I had been hit on the head. They wouldn't tell me the reason," causing the studio to buzz with reactions.
He continued, "The system requires 10 board members to each conduct their own review. If it splits 5-5, a pitch presentation is required to determine whether to accept the member. After being rejected, I tried again with a higher projected revenue, but I was rejected again," making everyone burst into laughter.
Jang Geun-seok said, "I could have thought, 'I guess I can't do it,' but I became stubborn. I recruited everyone around me connected to the card company, and finally succeeded on the third attempt. I'm still using it very well to this day," drawing everyone's attention.
