'Actor Choi Cheol-ho revealed the circumstances that led him to decide to appear on 'Special Report World' and disclosed his appearance fee at the time, as he had been working loading and unloading delivery packages due to financial hardship.

On the 17th, Choi Cheol-ho appeared on the YouTube channel 'Yojeum Mwohae' and recalled his days working at a delivery logistics center in the past.

Choi Cheol-ho stated that although he received an appearance offer from the production team of MBN's 'Special Report World', he initially hesitated to film.

However, he changed his mind after his roommate at the time encouraged him to appear. Choi Cheol-ho explained the background of his decision by saying, "My roommate asked, 'Why don't you appear? You're not doing anything bad; you're just trying to live hard. They'll even pay you.'"

When asked why he decided to inquire about the appearance fee, he said, "I thought they would pay more than 180,000 won per day, so I asked." He then proceeded with three rounds of filming and received approximately 1.5 million won in appearance fees. He added, "That was an amount I could earn by working delivery jobs for about nine to ten days."

At the time, Choi Cheol-ho worked loading and unloading packages from 7 p.m. on Monday nights until 6 a.m. the next morning on Saturdays, and he revealed that over approximately six months, he earned around 3.4 million won per month.

Previously, after experiencing financial difficulties due to business failures and other issues, Choi Cheol-ho publicly shared his work at a delivery logistics center through 'Special Report World' in 2020. Later, in 2022, he was arrested on the spot for allegedly entering a villa where the president of the company he worked for lived while drunk, knocking on the door and shouting.

In June, he appeared again on 'Special Report World', mentioned the incident at the time, apologized, and shared his current status. He is currently teaching acting to students at a vocational school located in Suwon.
