Broadcast personality Choi Eun-kyung shared a story about her monthly salary being reduced to just 10 won during her early career as an announcer.

On the 24th, a video titled "After I Made Them a Nutritious Chicken Dish, a Revelation Battle Began" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Choi Eun-kyung's GwanLisa Museum'.

The video features announcers Koo Hye-jung and Yoon Ji-young visiting Choi Eun-kyung's home.

Yoon Ji-young recounted an anecdote about Choi Eun-kyung's salary. She said, "There was a credit union in the basement of KBS. If you bought something from the credit union, it was deducted from your salary. Back then, pay slips were printed on paper." She added, "I was curious about (Choi Eun-kyung's) salary and checked it. The amount showed zero won because everything had been purchased through the credit union."

Hearing this, Choi Eun-kyung recalled that seniors would walk by and toss 10 won coins at her, saying, "Here's your salary!"

Choi Eun-kyung explained, "I bought appliances like that back then. I was so excited. As a fresh graduate working for a company, you could buy things at a discount. Living alone made it even more exciting."

Koo Hye-jung remarked, "The '10 won salary' is still being talked about in the announcer's room."

Additionally, Koo Hye-jung explained that Choi Eun-kyung was likely the only announcer who had never appeared on TV news. Choi Eun-kyung clarified, "I did work on radio."
